WWDC: Attendees lineup on Sunday for Jobs' keynote

WWDC Keynote line forms
With Apple's keynote less than 12 hours away (live coverage here)), attendees have already begun lining up outside Moscone Center West. The line as of 11 pm PT had eight people -- all of whom expected to spend all night waiting. The first person in line reportedly showed up around 1:30 pm on Sunday and a second person joined the line a few hours later. A group of students from Connecticut, who work for Tooble.TV, later showed up around 6:30 pm. They told MacNN, however, that Apple security refused to provide an extension cord from the building for charging their laptops and iPhones, although IDG Expo, the company that produces the annual Macworld Expo, had done the same for for those waiting in line ahead of the Expo keynote. On Friday, we posted some early photos of Moscone Center.

My goodness, the inhumanity of it. How is a nerd supposed to survive for so long without power? Why isn't there a constitutional right that says "thou shalt allow the intellectually narrow focused and pale of skin to charge their personal accessories wherever they may be"

I am surprised they did not have solar hooked up. (ˆ_ˆ)

You're a GEEK, man! You didn't bring a Mr. Fusion? Besides, Apple sells extra batteries. Conflict of interest to provide easy power for 5000 for free. Not to mention safety hazard with cords haphazardly zigzagging across the halls messing up our pretty lines of 6 we've formed. ;-)
