It’s October 18th in Silicon Valley?

I’m five days behind you here in Wisconsin and … did Apple bring out a quad-core iMac like all the rumors I’ve heard today predicted?

Dosn’t know if SSD is ready for data farming yet, but it did have to happen. AND yes the savings in electrical consumptions enormous Mr.D. This is a good thing somebody had to go first, and when the bugs get worked out maybe the rest of us mortals will be able to afford SSD (still more expensive yet I don’t know why. My hard drive is made of metal has a big motor and spins at over 7000 rpm, My SSD is mostly plastic, has no motors and looks like an overgrown camera memory, still the SSD cost me double a normal HDD. SSD’s are the future.

Am I the only one who read “Ophone”, and thought there would be an Oprah-phone?

I suspect that Jobs is one of the few names of living business people that a twelve year old might come up with.

I do automatic updates.

As long as the phone works and you can use it to get work done just like a small computer.

SSD seems like a kind of high priced way to store large amounts of data. The stuff in short term storage maybe but I’m told flash memory tends of burn out after a lot of writes.

I know Jobs as one of the biggest douches alive.

Starting from the fact that the guy who really started apple wasn’t him but Woz. Just as Ballmer was the lameass of MS, no tech input whatsoever.

Does that mean that Steve Jobs’ Halloween Costume is going to be a Catholic Priest?
