I always notice 9:42 because 9.42 is approximately 3*pi. Perhaps that's just me.

It's really amazing. I've seen this posted somewhere else already. As @Joseph already pointed out, the Keynotes start typically at 10 AM PST. How come the explanation for the 9:41 and 9:42 time makes sense to the writers? It sounds pretty cuckoo to me.

It's actually because the iPad and iPhone were both developed on a super productive day at Apple. The iPad was finished at 9:41 and the iPhone wasn't done until 9:42. But Apple thought it would be better to hold onto the iPad for about 4 years. (Too much alien technology coming out all at once could make people suspicious. Besides, Apple had to negotiate a contract with AT&T for the iPad, and that alone took most of the four years.)

The apple event feed on iTunes is still called "Keynotes" even though they are stand alone events and not what think of as keynote events as part of a WWDC or tradeshow.

Really not sure why this story keeps getting reposted, day after day. Apple's keynotes have typically started at 10am. More recently, the iPad keynote started at 10am, where the iPad was announced around 10:10am.
