If it weren’t for Mom I would’ve kept building and rebuilding my mansion in The Sims 3 and not realised it’s almost 6pm. And then missed the Apple keynote.

This time I’m following Gizmodo’s coverage.

• New 15–inch MacBook Pro‽ As in new design‽
• Oh right, new battery. Yea, that’s something I do want.
• SD slot eh? So ExpressCard 3G modems won’t work. Built–in 3G?
• They swapped round the position of the DisplayPort and USB ports. That’s the first time I’ve seen a MacBook not have their ports arranged by size down the side.
• Damn, 8GB of RAM. I feel hurt. Why did I have to get the original unibody MacBook Pro…
• I want there to be a 15–inch MacBook Air with built–in 3G.
• Mmm… Snow Leopard… Now we’re talking.
• Can we move pass making fun of Windows Vista and 7 please?
• More space: nice.
• Chinese handwriting recognition: not much use personally since I rarely write in Chinese, but I know it’ll be a great selling point in China and The Chinese Takeaway.
• “Crash resistance” as in it crashes less, or Chrome–like crash resistance?
• Loving the QuickTime X icon.
• Still not getting what Exposé–in–the–Dock means. Need to see this in motion.
• I don’t get why they think Top Sites is a big deal. I left it on for two months after the Safari 4 beta came out, and then disabled it. Never was much use for me.
• Cover Flow in Safari is cool, because I can remember what a page roughly looks like and identify by sight when I can’t remember the URL.
• Editing built into QuickTime X: I guess the Pro version of QuickTime is dead.
• Sounds like they’re just elaborating on the stuff they’ve listed on the Snow Leopard page last year. Is there really nothing new to show?
• Exchange support: me like. I no longer need to use that horrible web UI for university email.
• “Available on Intel Macs ‘past and present’”? PowerPC’s dead?
• Yes! $29 for Snow Leopard! How much is it going to be in the UK? £20? I’m guessing £20.
• iPhone 3.0 stuff: just covering old ground so far. Boring.
• Woohoo! O2 will support tethering when 3.0 is released. Please don’t let it be an extra.
• Do they not double–check their slides before the keynote? The slide says “Auto–fill”, but both the iPhone screenshot and Safari on the Mac says “AutoFill”.
• Using 30 Rock when introducing Find My iPhone: chuckle…
• Ergh… More demoes from 3^rd party developers…
• I hope they’re demoing all these apps now because iPhone OS 3.0 will be released today.
• June 17^th: dammit.
• Yup, 3GS.
• So far, everything as expected. Except for the glossy back.
• Ooh… Macro…
• I hope Voice Control works with the headset.
• Liking the longer battery life.
• Yes! iPhone 3G S on June 19! I can get it before I fly to The Chinese Takeaway, where they won’t get it until July! Suck it hellhole.
• Well that was an unnecessarily long keynote.
