Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone will be sure to post the iThing news when it happens, yes? I don't have the energy today to follow a liveblog.

Not me. I'm just not as excited by the possibility of purchasing new and exciting products from Apple in an attempt to fill the empty void at the center of my soul as I used to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So apparently they're putting video cameras in the Nano, but not in the Touch. Wha??

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The iThing is what? (I mean, I know Apple isn't releasing a product named "iThing," just to be clear. I just mean, what is the mystery product to which "iThing" refers?)

There were completely unfounded rumors of Apple releasing a tablet computer, but so far the big announcement is that the iPod Nano now has a video camera in it. Which is...weird.

There isn't already a video camera in the touch? (I had assumed...it seems incorrectly.)

From Macworld's coverage, this made me laugh:

10:29 PT - JS: Fastest growing of iPod line, iPod touch. To date we have now sold over 20 million iPod touch units. In addition to 30 million iPhones Steve talked about. (Wow - 40 percent of all iPhone OS devices sold are iPod touches.)

10:30 PT - DF: OK, by my math, that's >50 million iPhone OS devices. 40% of which hate AT&T. Kidding.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There were also rumors about new iPod touches with cameras having production problems, so maybe they got pulled, and will show up later. You also notice that they announced 8GB, 32GB and 64GB touches, but no 16GB.

Yeah, that was also weird.

Of course he's kidding. It's 80%.

AT&T is the #1 reason that I do not have an iPhone.
