  2. Wow, they need to put that video on a higher priority server. It is not loading. I understand the number of hits it must be getting right now, but there is no excuse for this to have the DIGG effect, or any Apple clip for that matter.

  10. “Anybody notice how unwell Jobs looked?”

    Hey, that’s what a looming indictment for securities fraud will do to you!

    I see another Ken Lay “heart attack” [cough] suicide [cough] coming soon.

    Hasta la VISTA, Mac dorks!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. MacPro: G5 w/Intel. Not much more unless you want to configure $5K – $6K worth of boost. The next gen MacPro will look and act a whole lot more like we expected.

    Leopard: so far, Tiger tweaks. Let’s hope the secret stuff delivers a real reason to buy the next cat.

    Bottom line today: disappointment all around.

  14. Mossman & Xacto,

    Had a buddy who had pancreatic cancer, took him a couple of years to get back to looking healthy, and he never got as heavy as he was before ( made a lot of lifestyle changes, looking death square in the eye can have that effect on you. )

    I am sure with all of the work that came from switching processors so quickly has taken its toll. Hopefully after Leopard launches he can take a much needed vacation.

  15. Dr. Xacto,

    When people are a little overwieght, we think they look healthier. When one is at their ideal body weight, we think they look unhealthy. I think Steve is just closer to his ideal body weight in the most recent picture, and as a result is a bit healthier, perhaps.

    He probably lost a lot of weight with his surgery, and like some people with that diagnosis, try to do everything they can to keep those evil cells quieted down.

    You are deeply disturbed. Seriously.

    Mac vs. PC bashing is, in the end, fun and games.

    Saying someone – anyone – is going to die soon, just because you don’t like him, is sick.

    And yes, I can read, and that’s what you said.

    Get help.

  21. Hey, that wasn’t really me up there. I think Macs suck, yah, but I don’t want Jobs to kick. He’s too valuable with all the illegal activities he’s doing. He’ll make it super-easy for VISTA to dominate!!! So, yaah- I don’t like macs, but I don’t think anybody’s gonna die …

    Ohh, yes I do.

  22. MacSuck®,

    I have seen the light. It’s dull and doesn’t really illuminate, but I see it.

    And as for your name: Mac suck R. Ooh, I like it.

    I like it a lot.

    Oh, and have you ever asked what compels you to get this sort of attention? Or why you hide behind anonymous posts using homosexual references?
    Nevermind. Don’t ask. Just keep talking you bad boy!!!

    (call me)

  23. Nah—Steve is looking really not well.
    In the old days he would have done the entire speech. Today he handed most of it off to others.
    Grooming for a replacement between the other non-Job speakers?

    As a stock holder I guess I have the right to ask about his health. How is his health? Without Jobs Apple will die quickly (or be bought out).

  31. Is Steve in the process of trying to groom the next generation of apple execs? There were alot of people doing their part of the presentation. Perhaps this is his way to show investors that Apple will do okay if he can no longer be there. Many media pundits have commented about how Apple might loose its mojo once Jobs is gone so we got: Keynote, The Next Generation (cue star trek music).

  32. I’m sorry, guys, and I apologize for every bad thing I’ve ever said on this site. I’m just so envious of everything Apple has achieved over the years and the threat it now poses under Steve Jobs’ leadership that my fear has overwhelmed my self-control.

    Please forgive me.

  33. Truly, I can’t believe the horrible, horrible things I’ve written recently on the MDN site, and I can only hope you wonderful folks can get past my excruciatingly poor behavior.

    I’m so envious of you all that I just can’t live within my own skin anymore. If I could AFFORD to be a Mac user, I certainly would be. But I’ve been able to scrape up just enough money to build my own PC out of parts from a nearby Salvation Army store and install a pirated copy of XP on it.

    Reading about OS X and the current WWDC is like watching rich people eat a fine meal inside a clean, well-lighted restaurant while I stand out here on the sidewalk in the rain.

    I shall continue to work on my attitude, however, and be more humble in the future in the presence of my superiors.

    Thank you so very much for your understanding.

  34. ^ That’s not me, Mac dweebs. If it were really me it would’ve said this:

    “I’m not sorry, guys, and I don’t apologize for anything I’ve ever said on this site. I’m just so amazed at every bit of garbage that Apple has stolen from Microsoft over the years and the opportunity we now have under Steve Jobs’ law-breaking leadership that my happiness and joy have overwhelmed my lack of respect for Mac dorks everywhere.

    Please blow me.”

  35. I’m afraid that I’m feeling like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde right now, ladies and gentlemen, for every time I think I have a grip on this multiple personality aberration, the irrational and seriously demented side of me breaks out.

    Please, please, please forgive me, revered ladies and gentlemen, for the crudeness and obscenity with which I occasionally express myself is truly not the real me.

    I acknowledge in this moment of calm that Apple and OS X are superior in every way to what I have been forced to live with in my destitution and poverty, but SOMEDAY, God willing, I TOO will be able to work with the finest computer and operating system available to man . . . a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.

    I can only pray that it be so (and continue to count my alms).

  47. I wasnt overly impressed with anything at WWDC. I like the new Help system, but other than that..it seemed more like a service pack for Tiger. As far as the MacPro’s go…Uh, yeah, thats a PC with an apple logo on it.

    If apple could they would charge you all for the (mw) “air” you breath in the apple store..
