…Steve Jobs plays Bingo at the WWDC?

Bingo

As Steve Jobs’ second most anticipated moment quickly arrives, it’s time for another round of Keynote Bingo. For this year’s WWDC, the Swedish Bingo team has created a program that generates your Keynote Bingo template out of 100 potential keynote events, so there will be plenty of tension as each ‘one more thing’ arrives. Get your pens and retirement home ready, ‘cause it’s Bingo time!

…There are ten reasons why Apple should hire Paris Hilton?

Paris Hilton

In response to reports that people are paying for their stories to reach the front page of Digg, Webomatica said that rather than paying, all you need to get to the front page is a story titled “Top Ten Reasons Why Apple Should Hire Paris Hilton”. So, I’m going to run an experiment to find out: is that all you need?

Here are “The Top Ten Reasons Why Apple Should Hire Paris Hilton”:

Paris Carl’s Jr.

10. She already promotes every other product in the world.

The Apple Life

9. She could star in “The Apple Life”.

Hilton

8. She could put an Apple store in every Hilton hotel.

One Night In Paris

7. She makes a lot of “private videos” that would be great for product placements.

Tinkerbell

6. She could attach a Shuffle to her Chihuahua.

Paris Hilton Bentley

5. She could advertise on her Bentley.

iTunes One Night In Paris

4. She could sell One Night In Paris through the iTunes Movie Store.

Paris Jobs

3. She would look good in a black turtleneck and jeans.

Silhouette

2. She has a very distinctive silhouette.

I’m A PC

1. She would make a great PC.

…Apple loves secrets?

Shh

Though Apple may not have been able to fool LG or Rebecca Runkle, they did manage to keep everyone else in the dark about the iPhone. So how do you go about keeping secret one of the biggest new releases for over two and a half years of development? For Apple, it involved bogus prototypes, press bullying and pillow talk stifling. Though difficult, it did take their buzz meter to 11, so I’m guessing all of the secrecy paid off. Will Steve Jobs be the next James Bond?

…Macworld is great for bingo?

Macworld Keynote Bingo

If a drinking game isn’t the way you want to celebrate the “just the beginning” keynote announcement, try some simpler fun with the Macworld Bingo board. Some of the descriptions are a little confusing, so half the fun is trying to figure out if something has actually happened, but it should be a great way to check out the announcements. One more thing, bonus points to anyone who yells out Bingo! during the actual Macworld keynote. I’d do it myself if only I had the opportunity. I think it’d definitely be worth the swift kick out of Mac Meca.

  • Mac Pro Octo - A Mac Pro model with eight cores (in any number of physical chips).

  • New MacBook Pro - Any new MacBook Pro model, including speed or storage bumps.

I’ll accept something less than a full-blown demo (e.g., just some screenshots or a marketing spiel) if you need this square to win, but it has to be delivered by an Adobe or Microsoft representative.
