Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks Amy. Actually my mouth is feeling pretty ok. I've had other root canals and this is the least painful day after. The tooth hadn't hurt before I went to the dentist, but had broken badly enough that a root canal was the only repair.
Not looking forward to the scaling and planing next week. I know I need it, but it gives me the shivers just thinking about it. I know I'll be taking some anti-anxiety meds before and will be blasting my ipod during.
Re: Steve Jobs
One of the websites I read regularly mentioned at the keynote yesterday that Tim Cook seemed subdued. I immediately thought that Steve Jobs probably wasn't doing very well healthwise and I wondered about him.
Perhaps I read too much into the statement about Tim Cook's overall manner, but I wish I had been wrong.
RIP Steve. You improved my computer experience 1000 fold from what it could have been. You were a fabulous CEO, a visionary, and you will be missed.

Good plan.
Oh ita, I'm so sorry.
They're making caramel apples downstairs at my hotel. I remember why I like the ol' Res Inn!

I had that thought too - I also was going to post, I dunno, somewhere, about thinking that a lot of the disappointed reaction to yesterday's show seemed to me like disappointment at not having a Big Steve Show rather than any actual fault with the model. That seems extra flat now.
iSad.
I feel kind of guilty for switching from the iPhone to Android today. Sorry, Steve.

I was actually disappointed with the model. As, err. My phone switch indicates.
amy,
I did not watch the keynote, perhaps I will get around to it, but judging from a source that I consider even-handed, Tim Cook spent about 2-3x the amount of time on showing stats about stores, number of phones sold, etc. that previous keynotes have had.
So I really do think there were some pacing issues with the keynote that probably left people with an overall negative impression.
I am not sure if I had any expectations for the keynote and/or products being offered, so I was neither impressed nor disappointed with the announcements. However, I am less than thrilled that Apple has decided to remove the Siri service from all models except the new one starting on October 15th. I use Siri several times a month/week. I can cobble some things together using the Dragon apps, but it isn't like Siri.
