Well, if Steve won't deliver the keynote address at Macworld Boston, let's find someone who will! I offer up the Jacknote as a suitable replacement. Join the call to IDG and restore excitement to this year's event.

Jacknote!

I guess my subtle irony is either too subtle or too ironic.

This would be better than a stevenote. I follow AtAT, and I can imagine a JackNote might be hilarious (assuming his online sense of humor translates well to the stage).
Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?

Catch Jacknote fever! The petition has already attracted well over 200 signatures, and people are pledging to fly over from England to attend Macworld.

Jacknote. Jacknote. Jacknote.

Sign the petition now, and at least we can look forward to a Jacknote in case there isn't a Stevenote, Maybe we can even have both-- the best of both worlds!

JACKNOTE! JACKNOTE! JACKNOTE!

Count me in. I'm 500-something! Jack's great. Can't fly to the states however - just make sure they webcast it!
Mm.

Am I alone in thinking that Stevenotes aren't particularly spectacular?

Well, the Jacknote petition has now crossed the 666-signature threshold, which bodes well for its success. This petition is starting to get some attention on more Mac sites, such as the front page feature on Macslash.

Jacknote Jacknote Jacknote

I was reading through the responses, and over 40 people have pledged to only come to Macworld Expo Boston if the Jacknote is added to the schedule. People have even pledged to travel from New York, Texas, San Francisco, Ireland and Australia (!!!).

Jacknote! Jacknote! Jacknote!

So I think if we get over 1000 signatures (about 1/2 claim to be attending), IDG will have no option but to pronounce the addition of the Jacknote to the Expo schedule! Already, I can hear them shaking in their boots!

JACKNOTE! JACKNOTE! JACKNOTE!
