When I read the title, I was hoping the thing in common was that you both worked for a company that prints money, and then I would've applied for a job here. But alas...
Also, is "Schill-list" supposed to remind me of "Schindler's List"? Because it does.

I prefer SoundHound (got it for free when it first came out) and I like it a lot more than Shazam. Works faster, loads faster, and has more features. Shazam is still a good app but I've moved on :)
@PurpleMonkeyDishwasher:: I'm not sure I'd group Phil Schiller and 'every employee' in the same category. And I think it's pretty safe to say that most Giz readers do know who the top honchos are at Apple.
@back_at_it: I'd like to hope that not every single Giz reader is such a hardcore Apple fan where they know all these names otherwise that's pretty sad. I mean, can you name the Senior VP of marketing at Dell or Microsoft?
@PurpleMonkeyDishwasher:: In fact, I cannot name the Senior Vp of Marketing at Dell off the top of my head. But I'd argue that Apple puts more of their higher-ups in the limelight than does Microsoft or Dell. Also, I don't find it sad when someone takes an interest in something, be it Apple or otherwise.
I'm pretty sure it's "faux pas". Considering you just made a faux pas while trying to type the words "faux pas", my brain just exploded from the recursiveness.
I think the new MB (lack of firewire aside) and new iMacs are pretty good additions to make up the tail end of 2009, but a matte black Macbook tacked onto the line would've been swwweet. #philschiller
@snowy_coke: Technically, a spec bump on existing models would not be new products, so that could still happen, but it's only 2 months left in the year, so it doesn't make much of a difference. #philschiller
@Eruanno: True but installing it is expensive if you have the Mac Genius do it and it voids Apple Care if you do it yourself so it is kind of annoying. #philschiller
@The Lab: You could always you know, just check off the upgraded HDD when making your purchase. $50 dollars more gets you a 250Gb instead of that 160Gb. #philschiller
@7egend: Apple Care means not opening the case for 3 years. That 250 Gb might look sufficient now but maybe not so much in 2012 (you will need lots of storage to record the end of the world). Also at some universities to get the high-level academic discounts you have to buy stock. #philschiller
@The Lab: Installing it doesn't void the warranty, but I believe if you cause damage, it won't be covered. So, you're OK as long as you don't screw it up. #philschiller
@bitgod: I looked it up and the RAM upgrade is clearly fine [bit.ly] but the hard drive is another issue. Apple doesn't seem to address the issue directly with MacBooks and seems to have a look-the-other way policy about it but it technically may violate the warranty. #philschiller
Once a company dominates a certain product market, they stops creating innovative and exciting product in that category because they know nobody can compete with them.
@semperfi1776: Well technically they innovate less because it's cheaper and as such they make more. I would hope that the big 3 were a good enough example as of late (in truck/suv anyways)...

Who's Phil Shiller though? I think you can't always assume everyone knows who every employee at Apple is.
