  1. I enjoyed all of the show, right up to the point where Mumbles the Clown threw water on it using confetti derived from typical bullshit.

    How environmentally friendly….waste not, want not. And as my grandson would say, “I not want that waste”.

    I think I will order an TV in a couple of weeks.

    And then a Time capsule a few weeks later. Wish it did music. That’s crazy that I would need it sitting right next to my Express.

    Come on, Steve. Cut down on the plastic and power needed to do two things that one unit can do. I could then put the Express in the bedroom on my Wave Radio.

  2. Very well said. On target all around – from Steve’s lackluster announcements to his introduction of a Marxist piano player.

    This justice though: Newman’s shrinking with age – becoming one of those ‘short people’.

  3. I am disappointed with the MacBook Air.

    I was hoping for a new MacBook or MacBook Pro, but not this!

    I am at a loss who the target market for the MacBook Air is anyway.

    I was going to watch the keynote, but I will play Halo instead.

    And enough with the Bakla Obama ads already!

    Those of you who speak Tagalog know what “bakla” means!

  4. I was going to get the MacBook Air, until I found out that you cannot remove the battery. No deal – sorry Apple. I will stick to the black MacBook that I was originally planning on purchasing and save myself some money in the process. The two extra pounds are not going to kill me.

  5. I find this to be a somewhat disappointing keynote. Not about jobs performance but on the products. The MacBook air Apple TV Update & movie rentals were great highlights.

    What ticked me off was the New Time Capsule device. So all of us how already bought a new base station have to by this new device now if you want to use Wireless backup with time machine??? Total BS!!!!!!! It would have been much simpler if apple just allowed Time Machine backup capability with the existing Base Station, update Time Machine Software and Mac OS X. They should have made it work with any external drive connected to a regular base station. Time Capsule might not do very well at all.

    Also what ticked me but really don’t care because I don’t own one is the $20 software update for the iPod Touch. If iPhone users get it free, why not touch users? The touch is supposed to be everything the iphone is only without the phone past right? Apple just proved it’s not & u gotta pay alittle more to have a little more iPhone in u’re touch. It’s not a bad update but is it really worth the extra $20?

    Was hoping for a Mac Mini Update that combined Apple TV Functionality, A mid range tower for us user who want to configure and expand our Mac any way we want, along with a price drop to the consumer MacBook line like $999. An update to the Cinema displays with built in iSight cam, IR Sensor, wireless video, and also price reduction.

  6. Randy Newman ended the presentation on such a sour note. What were they thinking? Agree with him or not, that kind of political drivel has no place at a business expo for a national company whose customers include people from all political parties.

    Is Apple officially saying “conservatives please don’t buy our products… we don’t want you!” ?

    Steve Jobs needs to learn from Michael Jordan, who once said “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

  7. What a horribly poor choice Randy Newman was!! He must be senile or have a coke problem – he kept mumbling and wiping his nose. And he knows nothing about history!

    If he had said the same thing about Jews on the Supreme Court that he said about Italians, there’d be a media firestorm! I will make sure the Italian American Anti-Defamation League hears his comments.

    Steve, you owe all Apple fans a $100 rebate for having to watch that moron!! Please apologize for that poor choice of entertainers.

    from what I understand, the upgrade price for the iPod Touch was because of the way they structure the sales. TV and iPhones are eligible for these updates.

    Also, with the iPhone, you are just getting enhancements. With the iTouch, you are actually getting new functions.

  9. @ Lilochris,

    That’s just it. Every iPod touch owner has that $20 decision to make.

    As an iPod touch owner myself, the decision is easy. If the added features do not work outside of the USA the same way they do inside the USA, I will be saving my $20.

  10. hey respect….i lost all respect for the President of the United States when that fuckin asshole conveniently taped over his emails to hide the evidence of his illegal activities so why dont you kiss my ass and go sign up and go to Iraq and fukin die. you lil bitch. youre the problem with this country that randy was trying to point out. its idiot sheep like u that are ruining our country not some rockstar pointing out how were getting fucked by our leadership. george bush is a liar a thief and is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors so u can fuck off if u dont like to hear it….its the TRUTH.

  11. Good grief. The whining!

    BTW I did a FF through Randy Oldman’s bumbling. It took 3 seconds to figure out he wasn’t going to say anything worth listening to.
    You liberals out there, (don’t get huffy here, I’m not going to insult you) please understand that conservative people put up with blather like that constantly. WE are the ones accused of intolerance/insensitivity/etc. while SJ lets a guest insult conservative Apple customers.

    On and on it goes.

  12. that POS george bush should be impeached, and, if found guilty, hanged until dead for treason against the United States!!! And if you dont thing he has egregiously committed treason against our beloved constitution not to mention the fact that he’s violated the Geneva Convention, and has even committed the same acts of aggression that the Nazi’s were hanged for at Nuremburg then you sir are a complete tool who deserves what ole george will shovel down your pathetic throat.
