I'm surprised that no-one has suggested the obvious: that The Art Of Computer Programming Vol. 4 - Combinatorial Algorithms is complete. But that's no fun, so I hope it's something truly earth shattering, like Knuth getting an e-mail address.

Given the venue, presumably the announcement will be TeX related.

    He's an excellent computer scientist but he's never claimed to be a good language designer ;)

He had an email address. He gave it up in the early 90s, when he decided that 15 years of email was enough for any man. http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/email.html http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/email.html

However mundane it might actually end up being, I bet it doesn't trump the "announcement that will redefine how cities are built" turning out to be a goofy little scooter.
