So out of morbid curiosity I decided to go over to Ars to see what is happening with the CES keynote.
All I can say is if this had been a "Steve-note". Everyone working behind stage would either be dead or fleeing for their lives!
*For those not following the "drama", the show was supposed to start about 30 mins ago but has been delayed because of "power issues". *
Apparently the audience has been sitting in the dark this whole time!

What, me worry?

Posted on Google's updated comments:
RT @talkonly: [Steve Ballmer's CES 2010 Keynote LIVE] Half of the computers up on stage have died. They're now manually restarting them.

Hopefully he won't be throwing any of his monkey crap at the audience . . .
hmmmm
well, so much for hope. At least he's not using his hands, he's spewing it from his mouth.

Finally seeing a photo from tonight event, and noting that Ballmer really is NOT aging well, I am proposing a much desrved
****CAPTION CONTEST****
(Photo Chopping it is also acceptable)
While showing a mockup of a potential new "slate PC" Steve suddenly went into a 15 min diatribe of how the Internet is a series of tubes that you shouldn't dump things on because it slows down the Social Security website.

Apple hasn't even done anything like this yet and still it's a blatant "me-too." That is just pathetic.

Agreed. No one knows what Apple is going to release or what it will do or how it will work, so they are announcing products that aren't ready for sale to beat Apple to the announcement.
Watch Apple announce NOTHING about the tablet on Jan 26 and sit back for another 3 months while the industry stews in its own juices releasing products that no one wants to buy. When the iWhatever comes out, they'll all have to go back to the drawing board.

That would be funny, but is not likely to happen.
Apple needs to give the developers a chance to customize their apps, so when the iSlate comes out, software is available.

maybe some blessed developers have been doing just that, with certain non-disclosure agreement in place.

Very likely. But those key developers is a separate group from the general development community.
Also, it's been speculated before that Apple wants to avoid the details coming to light throught FCC fillings. In that sense, it'll be a preemptive strike.

I love this picture from the Ballmer-note:
Of all the images to choose to put on their slate, they chose one with a frickin' APPLE.
Awesome!

Ballmer looks like he should be a football coach at some division five high school in the middle of nowhere.

But they're being edgy and cool by showing a book from the Twilight series.
For the life of me, I don't understand why they let that guy out in public.

Because he eats through the dungeon's chains every night.

Balmer has that "CEO trying too hard to fit-in on casual Friday" look.

I hope Apple makes all iPod-touch games available on the Mac platform, along with a new bluetooth controller.
