Someone on this forum made a "Boom" video way better than the one on youtube. I can't find it.

Eight booms, but I'd suggest wearing eye-protection to prevent possible lens-flare blindness.

The front row will be behind a shield.

I'll say 18 1/2. He'll accidently cough midway through a "boom" this year, and quickly make a dash to his bottled water.

Well that's 'cause you're dyslexic. I'll even bet your user name was supposed to be dutterflyofboom.

Does anyone know what software the creators of boomcounter.org used to create their text effect?

Possibly this, but they could have just as easily Photoshopped it.

I was a tad let down by the lack of boom. I waited and waited but nothing.

On the other hand, "woo!" and "automatically" (or as Steve says it, o-toe-matically), got a lot of attention this year.

What keynote were you watching? I counted 16 to 18 of them (I lost count, but Boom Counter says 17).

Start with where he demos the phone.

The Boomcounter with 17 is from last year (2006).

I counted around 15, methinks.

I heard Steve said 'unbelievable' and 'amazing' more than Boom.
