Wow I Love the last 2-3 minutes of this video. Imagine you see Steve Jobs in SAMS CLUB trying to get you to sample some sausage..
Jobs: I present you the iSausage
Containing 93 per cent meat and seasoned with white pepper, nutmeg and ginger, it's a great advertisement for simplicity.It's a slightly Germanic-style sausage that would be great with braised cabbage or sauerkraut - and a nice cold German lager. There's also an unsmoked version. This can be found in the I-Aisle.
Special Introductory Price $9.99 per pound
This is a non-story if Segall won't tell us the name. He is an advertising guy and he knew he could get his name out with a "Job's made a mistake" story. He intentionally leaves us hanging, leaving us wanting more. Classic ad man move. I understand Giz has to cover this type of thing but I can't help but think this guy is playing this website for his own purposes. #imac
@The Lab: From the linked article:
""I’ve got some great emails from him," Segall says. "I might publish them one day, but he’ll never talk to me ever again.""
He's using this to push a book deal. He's good at this ad business. He just got an ad for free. #imac
@mthomes: I know. It's like those really annoying movies where every one is running around after a box/package/briefcase because it conatians something they all want. After two hours of watching all this they never tell you what was in the box/package/briefcase. Ronin, Cast Away, Pulp Fiction to name a few. #imac
In the (considerable) shadow of the 27" iMac his statement of, "what's the largest display we would want on one of these things...15" ", is very humorous. #imac
if you read the source article it says it had something to do with Macintosh and the Internet... My guess would be Macinternet... or intertosh... or tosh.0.... #imac
@N@tedog: They'd have clicked on it otherwise? I'm surprised no one has bad-mouthed the author yet for not posting the original name in the on-site article. Came for the tasty tidbits, stayed for the hanging. #imac
@MacAttack7388: @appletoad: Because all the iMacs were named after fruit colors. Sadly, the only widely known yellow fruits are the lemon and the banay-nay. #imac
The internal code name was 'Columbus' The iMac was going to be a 'dumb' terminal for eduction. It wasn't originally going to have an optical drive. #apple

Also, does anyone else really wish that Jobs would put on a nice suit once in a while?
