At the WWDC keynote, bingo is the game-o

WWDC BingoWe’re all geared up for the WWDC keynote. I know. It’s just two weeks away. The excitement is palpable. But this year, we’re going to do it a little different, thanks to Ars Technica’s John Siracusa. This year, it’s game on.

And that game…is bingo.

John’s assembled a WWDC keynote bingo card that features squares with possible products, phrases, and announcements that Steve might introduce in his big speech. From hotly anticipated items like the Mac Pro and iTunes movie rentals, to longshot rumors like a new kernel and an iPhone, to trademark phrases like “boom” and “one more thing…,” the card has it covered.

You’re encouraged to download and play at home (strictly on the honor system), but if you happen to actually be attending the keynote, well, the game’s a little different.

The first person in the audience to win the game is expected to yell “BINGO!” loud enough so that the rest of us schleps can hear it when we watch the keynote webcast video later. If we can’t actually hear you, it’s also acceptable if Steve Jobs hears you on stage and gives you The Glare.
If you do that, you will make my year.

This is honestly the greatest thing I've seen in a long time. I hope someone actually gets BINGO.

I'll be playing.
