Oh ita, I'm so sorry.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
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.
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I'm horribly sad about Steve Jobs. I still have my first apple computer. It's beige and weighs 4000 pounds. If I plug it in, it still works.
Man, I take a nap after work and wake up to find that Steve Jobs died. Part of me really expected my Macbook Pro to have secret programming that would be triggered to make my computer display a sad face.
I don't know if I'm fighting a cold or what, but I laid down at 7:30 to take a nap and Tim woke me up at 9 to see if I wanted food, and I said yes, pulled on some pants...and then decided to just put my head back down for a minute. He woke me up again just now. I dragged my ass out of bed for some food and then I'm headed right back. I guess I just need the extra sleep.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I know I'll be taking some anti-anxiety meds before and will be blasting my ipod during.
My dentist has this great system so you can listen to Pandora on a headset while getting work done. SO AWESOME!
