The way things are going, copycats will be given carte blanche going forward. If by "carte blanche" you mean: "going through a years-long legal dispute, including a lengthy and expensive trial, multiple injunctions against products, a huge judgment, and then on appeal having some portion of the judgment invalidated", then, yeah, copycats will have carte blanche ;-)

Apple has done live events before. Streaming from Apple TV just an extension of what it already does from time to time.
Playing it safe given heaviness of the market today. Got out of my most recent small trade at a small loss.

All the while continuing business as usual, with no significant injunctions and no fines? Yep, carte blanche.
Quite frankly, considering the profits that IP theft has reaped, even the full billion dollar fine isn't much of a disincentive.

Bounce back patent was just one of several.
This process will take a while.

If Android phones can use this without licensing and no legal reprecussions, it's a huge free improvement in UI for that OS.

I feel like I'm in the Infinity Blade Apple Event with all these camera moves. What a gorgeous theatre.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I have my Apple TV all queued up to watch!!!!!! Me too. Apple TV may be the best $99 I ever spent. Hoping to be surprised and delighted today, as well as "enriched." Preview revealing architectural details of venue... Very nice!

iPad Mini preorder today or Friday? The smart thing is today. Then during the conference call, Apple can talk it up. Do not cross your fingers on this. Apple PR has been way too complacent for my taste for the past 30 years.

Tim Cook sounds QUITE excited, a lot more than we've seen him in the past presentations.
Can't wait to see the little one.

So what would Apple actually have to announce to not have the stock close in the red today (almost back to even now). Awesome numbers for the iPhone (looks like they didn't announce that)? Something completely unexpected?
I'm expecting Apple to close in the red today unless the market comes around. Which IMO is fine. Save the springboard for after earnings.
