So they're painting the Bay bridge red? Cuz I tried to do that already. OPD doesn't take kindly to my OCD-like desire for color balance.

Personally, I think Our Lord and Saviour Steven Gaylord Jobs will take over Treasure Island and reshape it into the New And Improved Infinite Loop. And wear an eyepatch.

-USB 1.0

All this for the reasonable price of $799, but look, it's the exact size of a credit card!

More Ways than one - two big announcements.
Landmark iMac, completely wireless bar power - slight aesthetic change from current [thinner] but with multi touch screen - this will lead to multi touch Cinema displays.
Second landmark - full SSD based iPod line - or - Something not huge, but great - free .Mac - It's in apple's nature to bone the people that paid for the subscription. - this makes sence, cos they could link it in with google's, exponentially growing storage and online tools.

Seriously, maybe that DVR patent stuff a couple of posts back. Ya know "two highways of media", from iTunes or cable. Apple seems to be listening to people more and more, they been criticized twice for not having DVR in the Apple TV by prominent tech reviewers. The Apple TV 2.0 WOW was like the Vista WOW for many.

A lot of people I have talked to about it were like, "If you want me to have a box that's main purpose is to rent movies, why don't you give me the box for free"

Apple hardware and software will go their separate ways. WIll then reunite after a few years, then spin software off again to Access, push a nice machine with the wrong OS onto the market just to retire it a few days after, which will see the stock dive to 6 USD. Than El Jobso decides, that he thinks he is better off at Pixar and f... computers... déja vu.
