(In a previous post, I linked to some of the speculation.)<img width="232" height="202" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.smgriffith.org/bingo.jpg" style="width: 171px; height: 246px;" /></p>
<p>Now someone has actually made a real game out of the showcase speech; bingo.  The New York Times's inimitable personal;<a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/01/05/macworld-bingo/"> tech columnist David Pogue draws our attention</a> to a "witty programmer" who created <a href="http://iskub.sippan.se/bingo/">"Macworld Bingo"</a> for all live listeners and viewers of the Jobs keynote.</p>
<p>The programmer's Bingo template includes a randomized list of 50 possible keynote subjects. If Jobs touches on it, one can press a button and check it off. If you get five buttons in a row, column, or diagonally, you have won Macworld Bingo</p>
<p>Subjects range from "iTV released" to Steve in his famous "turtle neck and jeans." So which crazed Mac fans will be participating in the Macworld Bingo? Obviously, too many as the top of the site's web page notes: "The server is collapsing under the unforseen popularity of Keynote Bingo!"</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/01/08/gaming-macworld/">Get into the Macworld fever with Macworld Bingo</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Mon, 08 Jan 2007 16:32:00 EST.
