'Twas the night before Expo: Mac Expo starts tomorrow, and we dare you to try to get some sleep tonight. What will Apple announce? All the major media outlets have an opinion, including Newsweek, Fortune, The Seattle Times, NPR, InfoWorld, TheStreet.com, BusinessWeek, USA Today, BBC News, the Financial Times, and more. If you don't mind watching a video with two regular guys (our hot chick hostess was unavailable), you can watch our take on what we think will be announced at Expo.

 

Steve Jobs's keynote is at 9AM Pacific on Tuesday and we'll have a minute-by-minute live report here on MacLife.com.

Better late than never: A Microsoft tech returned a customer call to talk about the customer's problem - only thing is that the customer called with the complaint 10 years ago. Turns out that it was just a mix up by the Microsoft employee.
