After Chris, I guess it is now my turn to stick out my neck and throw out a list of Macworld ‘08 predictions. Be aware that what you’re now going to read is a carefully researched article which takes into account various statistics from past keynotes and seeks to identify recurring patterns between them so as to accurately predict what lies ahead. It is methodical and scientific, makes no wayward assumptions and is, therefore, citable in all courts of law as proven fact. Warning: Spoilers abound!
So, without further ado, I present to you my simple 4x4 matrix of what I think lies ahead and the descriptions for each square. You might be reading this and mulling over things for quite a while so it might be a good idea to cancel all appointments scheduled for later today and grab yourself a cup of coffee (or whatever floats your boat, really). Presenting the article that will put an end to all the suspense associated with the Macworld Expo next week (last chance to back out is now):

Mark my words, you’re going to see these happen.
New MacBooks: It’s a given. Steve Jobs is going to launch completely revamped new MacBooks at this Expo. The current MacBooks stick like sore thumbs in Apple’s line-up, with their scratch and crack prone fiber enclosures and combo drives from the ancient era. The new ones will be clad in anodized aluminum (the same metal that almost all the products in current line-up are made out of) and will have some black highlights. The screen size will remain the same, a SuperDrive will become standard across all models and it will feature a minor bump in some of the hardware components. It will, of course, look absolutely stunning and the starting price will remain the same. Steve Jobs will unveil a new advertisement or two. Read more...

I know that you guys might not be all that interested but Macworld is the most important technology conference in the world so I thought I should make you guys aware of it. I know some of you will say CES is more important or something like that, but the fact is that Macworld is far more anticipated buy the whole technology industry than CES can ever be. Everyone is interested in what Apple is doing. One example is that almost every person you meet can tell you what happened in the last Macworld keynote (Jobs introduced the Apple TV and the iPhone) but can any one tell me what Bill Gates spoke about in the last CES keynote?
I hope I've made my point clear. So just read the huge article if you're interested, to gain some insight into the upcoming Macworld Expo 2008. Enjoy!
