[Ninja Scooter]

Steve Jobs will be the reveal. Microsoft bought one strand of his hair and has successfully cloned and vat grown him. Except he's been conditioned to love Microsoft.

Does this mean he will be wearing pleated khakis and boat shoes?

 

[Milchjon]

Pics of the venue actually look pretty cool.

 

[Nevasleep]

They have a catwalk.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

5:20?

Reference to native resolution of Xbox 360 games?

ether.

 

[SUPREME1]

Courier with a 20:5 aspect ratio

 

[Sean]

cnet said some cards say 5:25 and 5:30

These are the precise times in the conference that Ballmer will drop bombs.

5:20 pm - iPad killer
5:25 pm - Xbox 720 reveal
5:30 pm - Microsoft buys Google

 

[ConfusingJazz]

You know, if it was the new xbox, I'd shit a chicken.

No way do they announced the new Xbox this way, that would be a terrible idea.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Does this mean he will be wearing pleated khakis and boat shoes?

This actually made me LOL

 

[Centurion]

damn if it's the Courier......

Every college/grad student would jizz their pants.

 

[derFeef]

Nice of them!

@geoffkeighley: Well that was fun. I wasn't on the list! But I managed to talk my way in.

 

[Shard]

So that is 8:20 EDT, well, time to go and learn how to play Spades.

 

[Wario64]

lol, Geoff got an invite but wasn't on the list, but talked his way in

 

[jossueinacoma]

You know, if it was the new xbox, I'd shit a chicken.

i'd pay to see that

 

[shadyspace]

is this shit starting soon or what.

 

[Cat Party]

They have a catwalk.

Wearable computer.

Goddamn, the genius of it...

 

[alphaNoid]

Courier-GAF ... ASSEMBLE

 

[Avinexus]

It's just a red screen with lines.

There are no words on it!

Minimalism! Apple and Microsoft collab confirmed.

 

[outunderthestars]

But you fold it!

Dear god I still want a courier.

 

[Vanillalite]

In all of the MS WP Bathroom Font Signage Glory!!!

 

[tino]

LOL MS is the master of troll.

 

[scorcho]

i'm already bored by this. i can't believe i kept a browser tab open for this when it could've been open for something equally stupid that i would've enjoyed just as little.

for failing to meet my expectations and wasting my precious time, you've lost a customer for life, microsoft.

 

[Hootie]

its halo 5

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

You know, if it was the new xbox, I'd shit a chicken.

It would be very odd of them to reveal the new xbox without a live stream.

 

[Complex Shadow]

You need to be less subtle.

being subtle requires whitta.

 

[cnizzle06]

Freddie Mercury hologram or bust!

 

[kehs]

Couriers back bitches.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

5:20, the moment Ballmer peels off the rubber mask and reveals himself to be Steve Jobs.

[navanman]

if they bring back the Courier I will flip news stands.

 

[GaussTek]

But you fold it!

Ok, now I BELIEVE!

 

[MThanded]

damn if it's the Courier......

Every college/grad student would jizz their pants.

Eh. probably not. I'd buy one though. Even though I'm all Appled up.

 

[Slayer-33]

These are the precise times in the conference that Ballmer will drop bombs.

5:20 pm - iPad killer
5:25 pm - Xbox 720 reveal
5:30 pm - Microsoft buys Google

You son of a bitch I'm dying

 

[Levyne]

Geoff passed the persuasion check

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Tuning in from work. Let's hope i don't get in trouble!

 

[pxleyes]

Champagne and mimosas. Classy!

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

I never saw the appeal of that Courier thing tbh. Maybe for some creative people but not for me as a dumb passive consumer sheep.

 

[DopeyFish]

if they bring back the Courier I will flip news stands.

I will join you

 

[SUPREME1]

COURIER on sale for $520

 

[The Elite]

Nice of them!

Not gaming related content I guess.

 

[derFeef]

Courier...

 

[soundscream]

The Microsoft expert on CNET's live stream said the 720 leak was real.

Edit: Someone else got 5:25 and another person got 5:30

Times when they can take pictures after the conference?

 

[VariantX04]

I guess no Ballmer confirmed.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

From the Verge

Did I mention they're serving champagne and mimosas to everyone here? They are.

Megaton.

 

[JaggedSac]

Mary Jo's description of Windows RT was garbage. How does she have a job?

 

[Megasoum]

Is there a stream or a liveblog somewhere?

 

[Klaymator14]

i'd say it's definitely a courier, all the images show pairs of rectangles

 

[giga]

Courier...

Turrible aspect ratio confirmed.

 

[Anticitizen One]

HERE COMES THE iPAD KILLER GUYS

 

[Chanser]

Kin 3

 

[Ravensmash]

Champagne, ey?

MS trying to get their audience drunk.

 

[alphaNoid]

Is there a stream or a liveblog somewhere?

Would a Courier announcement actually impress people? I know I'd be in for one. ... all things depending of course.
