Apple Store Offline

When Apple Store goes offline, you know what that means, new products. Jobs is delivering his keynote address in his tired black mockneck and Levi's combo as I type now.

UPDATES:
  • But there is actually NO new products except some make over on the store and Apple.com. Instead of bluish looking menu, now it has grayish looking menu. Big deal. So to say the least, it's a bit of a letdown to most Macnatics. The is no brushed metal iMac as initially rumored. New iMac probably later this year or beginning of next year.
  • Safari on Windows.
  • iPhone development using Web 2.0 and AJAX, whatever that means, but there's no SDK(?). From 9to5mac, iPhone is running on Intel platform, and by the time it got rolled out to Europe and Asia, iPhone will probably fully 3G, you know with video call. The America iPhone debut is like what beta testing.
  • Leopard shipping in October for $129. One version. I like the idea, less confusing.
  • By the way, mac mini is still selling for $599 and $799. I thought there will be a fire sale given that most other product lines have upgraded significantly. Apple got to be kidding. Why, why, why? Just so it can maintain its overprice status?
Overall, a relatively disappointing keynote comparing the last one. And Wall Street agreed. Apple closed down almost $6, at $120.19.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
