One more thing? Still lame, though serious hardcore movie fans who don't want to go buy Blu-Ray discs might try out Apple TV. I am waiting for them to get way cheap on craigslist so I can use one as a stationary iPod for the living room.

@ DJ Tennessee You're probably tired of hearing from the fanboys & girls, but two fingers tapping my trackpad = right click. It took me a week to get used to my Mac (having been raised on PC's, back in the days of direct DOS interface). I really haven't looked back. It was kinda scary, but I don't miss all the .DAT, .BAT, and other weird files that you need to operate but sometimes get deleted when uninstalling programs. Oh, and yay for no viruses! (Yeah, yeah, cause it's such a pitiful market share, I know.)

Sleek, sexy, unaffordable. I'm glad my 3 year old Powerbook still works!

At least Kate Moss looks good. I'm not sure if I feel the same way about Nicole. :)

Nicole Ritchie's skinny again -- baby Harlow Winter Kate Madden was born last Friday in LA.

@DJTennessee: Macs have supported right-click for years. I use the same Logitech trackball at home (wireless version for my Macbook) and at work (wired version for the Dell). My travel mouse is a Kensington USB model that I bought when I got my first iBook back in 2002.

Today's Keynote was awesome, the product enhancements looked great. @wsanders: The Apple materials make it clear that a "modern broadband" connection is required for the service. @DJTennessee: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/design.html

@ mpantone Personally, I try to limit my Posh analogies to discussions of extraterrestrials.

Nicole Ritchie? Eeeeewwwww! How about a different analogy? How about Kate Moss? Or Jenna Jameson? Or Posh Spice?

$1799 for the 80GB version. *only* $3100 for the 64GB SSD version! Practically giving them away!

Sorry, Steve... I need right-click capabilites. Now go back and finish your undergraduate.

"movies will be start playing less than 30 seconds after the download starts," And stop playing 32 seconds after download starts unless you have a megabit or faster internet connection (which anyone who aspires to be as cool as Steve Jobs certainly must have), like to watch movies in 640x480 resolution, or can get away with watching movies at work. Netflix somehow manages to make the Post Office look awesome. I drop my returns in the mailbox at the BART station, and they are checked in by 7 AM the next morning. The new movies are shipped later that day, and at the house when I get home the day after that. Always. And they have every single ever released on DVD, always.
