The Steve Jobs Hokey Pokey
[ to the tune of the Hokey Pokey ]
Put your turtleneck on,
take your turtleneck off,
Put your turtleneck on,
and shake it all about,
You do your hokey pokey and you leave us all in doubt,
Thats what it’s always about.

For some reason Apple news seems to travel on average 1.5-2x faster than other news.
To put things into perspective:
1. Speed of light
2. Speed of sound
3. Speed of Paris Hilton News
4. Speed of High School Gossip
5. Speed of Apple News
….etc
9. Speed of News
So chances are you already know that on Tuesday Steve Jobs held a keynote where he released the all new iMacs, iLife ‘08, iWork ‘08, refreshed the MacMini and the .mac services. Mr Jobs took the stage, razzled and dazzled us , but for some every keynote always ends up feeling like the opening lines of Tale of Two Cities.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness”
The Good:
New iMac is beautiful
iLife ‘08 looks great
The Bad:
.mac service still sucks
I would tip my hat to Jobs for being one of the most successful people in the industry, but I just can’t help from feeling cheated on. Every keynote, together with millions of Apple fans, we cross our fingers with hope that Apple will turn rumors into reality, and fulfill our dreams
