Nobody can sit in a chair such as this and not announce super-villain scale plots.[/QUOTE]
And not even the cool, world domination-y super-villain plots, either. The kind of hipster evil plots that involve controlling the public on a mass scale.

[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;36388614]It can't be the Xbox '720', E3 was just a week ago. No way that they missed it by a week.[/QUOTE]

They might discuss some specifications, not announce it.

[DireAvenger]

Oh boy I can't wait for another UI update

If you discuss specs of a system then it's pretty much announced.

Everyone already knows that they are working it, it doesn't really need to be.

Official Microsoft "dev" Windows 8 / WP7 tablet announcement, calling it right now.

[flagdog]

I wonder how they manage to get so good looking pictures so fast into the live blog even with watermarks on them

I'm pretty sure they're going to start killing off groups of tech journalists every ten minutes until whatever demands they make are met.

double screen tablet, come on MS!!

I'm waiting for Windows 9. Based upon MS' track record it will be 100x better than Windows 8.

Xbox DS

It's probably the dual screen tablet they had cancled way back.

[Scot]

And then the tablet was circular.

[QUOTE=flagdog;36388729]double screen tablet, come on MS!![/QUOTE]

OOoooooh, it's that laptop/tablet combo with Win8 that ASUS has announced at some expo a few days ago, maybe Microsoft is announcing their own version of it.

[Lethaxx]

should have a live stream. Damn you microsoft

[Irockz]

"There are strong hints here of a dual-screen device. We're on the edge of our seats."

I think the images displayed that easily.

[jordguitar]

cnet is doing a live stream thing about the thing (but not of the actual thing just in their studio)

That's the very same device on both pictures. 10 bucks Microsoft will announce their own version, as I said in my previous post.

[ROFLBURGER]

Watch as they announce that they're teaming up with EA to boost fund Orgin

"There's a white table on stage with what appears to be a sheet, separated by a number of lines. Strategic placing for cameras? Hands? Tablets? All three?"

It's a disected body. Called it.
