1. I didn’t see squat 2. This video is clearly old as those shuffles aren’t even for sale anymore.

They should have had a drawing partially covered up showing a 6 inch iPhne mock up screen.

That would get the rest of the wannabees scrambling!

Watching that video reminds me of how much I miss working for Apple. Got screwed after 10+ years being there and told I’m not allowed to return. Not corporate, not AppleCare, not even retail. I’ll still continue to buy the products because they’re the best in the world, but I miss being part of it all. It was the best job I’ve ever had.

Oh, I bet Apple is burning approx. 5,000 copies of this and sending them to various addresses in the Waterloo region.

Agree with Safari. iCloud is nascent but has a better foundation to be more than Mobile Me.

Yeah, and monkey’s could fly out….

Seriously, is this Jon Russel guy in Jr. High, having not a clue how commercials and video’s like this are produced. What a dope. Sorry, it just is what it is… ridiculous.

You mean like the stupid ass auto-fill replacement Apple introduced in Safari 5.1?

On the decision to kill Mobile Me with a less functional replacement?

Apple’s culture has always produced a bell curve distribution of products; compared to their peers, it’s just shifted to the right.

It’s not correct to say Apple is post-Steve more inclined to mediocrity. We’ll won’t know how well they’ve recreated themselves for a few years.

So, you wrote up a bug, right? And got everyone else you knew who had the same problem to do the same?

Much as I love my Macs, OS X has always had some slipshod development.

For example, dial-up networking was broken in OS X for many users for all versions of 10.0 and 10.1. It’d successfully dial in once, but subsequent attempts to dial-in would be preceded with your machine hanging for at least 30s. Unfortunately I was stuck without broadband in that era, so would suffer from this. The only fix was a reboot.

My theory on that particular bug is that the developers just didn’t care at all about dial-up, since they were sat on their office LAN with a big fat pipe onto the internet. They therefore didn’t test it beyond a single dial-in.

Bullshit. It looks to me that they were working on the Apple Store website design. There’s a shot that follows that shows the board standing next to the first board. And we can SEE what’s on that second board. And it’s printouts of the Apple Store. Specifically it’s a version of THIS page: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/ipod_shuffle

So the first board probably had something similar on it. My guess is you are looking at shots of Apple TV and the iPod Touch.

It makes me wish Steve Jobs was back because no one is there yelling “THIS IS A PIECE OF SHIT! WHO DESIGNED THIS! FIRE THEM!” That highly constructive assholeness was the real magic behind Apple excellence.

I’m seeing some slipshod development under OS X.

The only story here is that this video makes me want to work for Apple.

An iPhone image blown up on a piece of paper is not indicative of a larger iPhone. It’s indicative of printing large.

And, Apple doesn’t expose new technology or products in such a public way on campus. There would be no board in a conference room or hallway where images are left up for passerby’s to see.

There’s no story here. Move along.
