The 2010 Apple Press Conference starts in just a few minutes, and everyone is expecting some big announcements from Steve Jobs this year. We thought we would liven things up a bit by making a drinking game to play as we keep up with the live-blogging.
A very clever case for your Mac laptop.
How novel. Har!
I am as sick of On A Boat covers as the next person, but as an Apple fanboy, I feel obligated to post this one.

The Apple store disappeared briefly this morning, only to come back and bring us Mac OS X 10.6, or Snow Leopard. The price is $29.00, and $9.95 for the upgrade. It's a bit of an early launch, as Snow Leopard will be available on August 28th; originally, it was due to be out in September.
YouTube user nicholifavs records vlogs of himself, mostly lip-synching and dancing to pop songs, exclusively from the Apple Store on 5th ave in NYC. I think I'm going to go down there later and ask him to be my best friend. [via]
