You’d think that a company that can cram that much processing power into such a small device would be able to make a Mac Pro tower that isn’t the approximate size and weight of a washing machine.

New MacBooks anticipated by whom, exactly? Easy enough to say now that the event is over (wasn’t watching my RSS feeds during the event), but no one expected new Mac hardware to be announced today – this is the iPod/Music event, that now absorbed the iPhone since it shifted its release schedule.

Alas, nothing on the AppleTV– would have liked to offload some video playing apps off my ipad, and onto the black box.

Is it just me or does Tim Cook look like he would really be a lot happier in a suit?

(To be fair, he doesn’t look quite as embarrassing impersonating Steve Jobs as that Windows tablet fail guy…)
