“CNET expects that the Apple event to be held tomorrow at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts’ Novell Theater in San Francisco will be the unveiling of the iPad 2,” James Martin reports for CNET.
James reports that Apple’s security tried to block CNET “cameras from peering through the front windows of the Novell Theater.”
Under a photo of a silver convertible, James captions, “passersby speculated that this might be Phil Schiller’s $250,000 Aston Martin parked along 3rd Street in San Francisco yesterday.” Schiller is Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing.

Here we go again. Ive has one too .
I bet Ive got his Aston first, then Schiller wanted one too.
I can’t resist this. Perhaps it’s Bond. James Bond. Sean Connery anyone?
Where the f*ck is “San Fran”? Only dumb f*cks from the midwest call The City “San Fran”!
I know. West coasters call it SF.
San Fran.
Actually…they just call it “the City.”
It’s a city of snakes as well.
…and squirrels in makeup.
It’s the Barbary Coast
OK. Now what do you think the colorful dots on the Yerba Buena Center are for? Confetti? Something more meaningful?
Color carbon-fiber shells.
I’m hoping for a reprise of Bondi Blue.
Man, I want one of those Security jackets!!!
Yeah… I want one, too!
As a dumb Midwesterner that has visited San Fran, let me give it a better name: Cess-Pool It is one of the dirtiest cities I’ve ever been to in the US. Litter everywhere, moral decline, armies of homeless, Vice available on every corner, all in all I was very disappointed. For a town full of Liberal elitist ideals, I found it to be a sad place.
..hey throw is cheap booze and SF sounds like a fun place to visit!

Had you considered that it’s a “sad place” specifically because it’s full of Liberal elitists?
“Where the f*ck is “San Fran?”
Only arrogant asswipes get annoyed by that. How ’bout Frisco?
The guy napping on the job in the next to last picture?
I’ll bet he’s not working for Apple by the end of the week!
(Damn reporters!)
Phil may look like Fred Flintstone but that ain’t no foot-powered car he’s driving.
I’m just wondering though how a big guy like him can fit into the driver’s seat.
With the money he rakes, I’m sure customization of the seats so he could fit was no problem.
I have to have a jacket that says “ Security”. MUST own!
San Fran?
Here in New York, we don’t care about anywhere else. 😉
Don’t you even care about your own city, New York?
Sorry Folks,
Cali is in Columbia and Frisco is in Texas.
Itʻs SF or The City.
Boy this format takes some getting used to…your comment doesn’t appear for the longest time then ‘boom’…
Anyway my friends from there have always referred to it as ‘the city’. Also heard that back when I lived in LA during the 80s.
The guy is not sleeping in the photo, his eyes are open. Looks like he is leaning over to check a connection or something.
Every city has nick-names. Let’s not blow this out of proportion. Here in NY, most folks say “I’m heading into the City today” for instance. Gotham is another popular one. The Big Apple has kinda stuck around – “the Big Apple can look forward to sunny skies and 50 degree temperatures today”.
We might not like one or two personally, but it should not be the cause of such petty yelling matches. How about a chuckle and moving along?
Wow I still find it interesting that a story about an Apple announcement still generates political name calling and generalities. ” …everywhere”, “armies…”, “every corner,”. San Francisco is bigger than the Tinderloin. I’d get a refund from my travel agent.
There’s a great bar in the Tenderloin. Bourbon & Branch.
