Is it a giant hand or just a very little man at the front?

One one hand, I'm annoyed of forking out a ton of hardly earned cash for the new sleek black video playing iPod on my desk. But...
I'd really consider becoming a crackhead mugger to get even more monies for one of those toys.

I'd heard the rumours and seen the fake videos, but never could have I imagined something so funky as this toy.

A companies' job is to make money, true. Some do it through advertising, lying, cheating and overhype.
I can say that, in my tiny worthless opinion, Apple are doing so well because their products work. Does what it says on the box.

I may be a corporate whore. But at least my music is on stream, my mac does it's stuff smoother than... hold on. I'm not selling I'm buying.

My biggest concern, being an international playboy type, is the question of how soon is it available in my parts of the world.
And also when can I see the (ha ha) podcast of the Macworld show?

Europe in the 4th quarter of this year, Asia in 2008.

Podcast of the keynote should be up sometime this afternoon.

Ho hum...not exactly the earth shattering toys hyped by the thread.

Bugger.
I'm moving to Asia in 4 months.
Maybe I should fly there via the US.

Ever heard of irony? Look it up sometime.

Ever heard of cogent, declarative statements? Try making one sometime. You'll find it speeds the discussion along astoundingly.

I really have to admire you for consistently shitting on absolutely everything Apple has ever done in every thread I've ever seen with you in it. It takes effort to be that persistent in your douchebaggery.

Yes, it requires awareness, skill, intellect, insight, and a long-standing reputation for being correct about the potential success of technology products in the market. Perhaps unlike you, I've actually started 5 technology companies, taken three of those companies public and helped to raise a "few hundred million dollars" to help other technology companies succeed.

I even admitted to being quite fond of the iPhone GUI in this thread, so I'm not completely opposed to alternative perspectives, which is wholly unlike your own form of douchebaggery or frailty; manifesting itself in some odd predilection to follow an industry icon off any cliff he sees fit to drag you over by your nose.

Um Cisco has filed a lawsuit about it. It's likely a large sum of money will be changing hands in the future.

Come on Jobs, cut to the fuckin' chase:

Rumor has it that this has been in development for 5 years but the engineering staff refuses to give up the prototype.

You must have confused me with some other fanboy. Though I am a fan of Apple, I'm not a big fan of Steve Jobs.

I respect a lot of the stuff he gets done, mainly through other people, but In the kingdom of douchebaggery he probably wears the crown. I said as much ten years ago, and my opinion hasn't changed.
