Wow, this is amazing…… a picture of the Golden Gate bridge in the background.
Alternatively, you could use the default countdown that comes with Tiger’s Dashboard suite of widgets. I am currently using three to count down to various things.
mine’s been counting down to that exact time in dashboard for three months… i’m a nerd… actually i really just want my intel powerbook, even though i’m probably waiting until June for Merom (darn you, Apple with your neverending seduction!)
It looks oddly familier to the other countdown you can download (you know, the one with the blue backround) I think I’ll just use that…..I’ve had mine up since Thanksgiving
What comes to mind here counting down the days until Stevego speaks?
Dork, nerd, geek, no-life, loser….
If you have this widget on your computer it is time to take a lonnnnnnnnnnnng break away from the computer and get a life.
Apple: it´s a computer, not a religion.
Actually, it can me more than a computer. For me, Apple is model for how things can be done ‘right’. If you read Time magizine a month ago, when Steve was on the cover, they talked not so much about the gadgets or boxes..instead, they talked about the PROCESS of how they ‘do it’…and what they VALUE in that process. Talked about how strange of a company Apple is that they do so many things (hardware, OS, software, services). The magic is in the process of how they work together to integrate all of it. Most businesses have a very hard time with this process of integration. Normally, companies get siloed, where one guy finishes his part then throws it over the fence to the next…usually, with communication breakdown at each step..actually, its a process set up to produce mediocrity.
I want to fight mediocrity, the world has accepted mediocrity, mediocrity is not what I want to be about…and so Apple is valuable to me because it is a model of anti-mediocrity, and their story helps me promote that in my world. Do I consider it a religion…nope. Do I cinsider it more than a computer/software company…you bet, in big way.
(but, I agree, you are a certified geek if you run out today to tell all your friends about this widget)
Have a great day everyone.

have another over-dose would you.
yet another reason to switch to mac os x tiger
Ozzy, how dare you show your face in here with an MSN email address!!
You should be ashamed!!
Sorry Janice.
I don’t need to “get a life.”
I owe Steve Jobs and the Mac my career, and I’ll count down every second to the moment I run up those stairs at the Moscone Center to cheer him on.
I HATED computers I used before I sat in front of a Mac in a previious occupation. Now I care for them as a living–and a good, well paying living it is. I thank Steve for rejoining Apple and putting his NeXTSTEP system on top of UNIX and create OSX–my life is heaven because of it.
I pitty the PC tech people ripping their hair out over the latest virus, running crazy with rebuids. Switching to Mac is like being freed from a hard labor prison of fear and uncertainty. There is a reason to bond with someone who has set you free my dear!
I did get a life, a new one years ago Janice–and Apple Computer gave it to me. There is a reason we are the faithful.
In my off work hours, I return the gift by helping enslaved miserable PC people switch to Apple.
It’s just the people that strive to be “First Post” that have the real mental problems.

worry about your own life janice, not others.
“Apple: it´s a computer, not a religion.”
Clueless PC using MORON!
AS the poster said above and repeated here in every “I will defend Apple with my life” post:
“Apple: it´s a computer, not a religion.”

Attention Apple security forces: watch out for the stalker screaming up aisle 1.
Apple is not a religion.
There is tangible, irrefutable evidence that Steve exists.
Apple is a way of life.
