after Macworld…nope, global warming still exists.
I went to MacWorld last week. 
My first. Not my first trade show, though. Like many others who have lead the cubicle life, I’ve been to my share of trade shows. I still reached the EGO point (Eyes Glazed Over) after only a few hours. I suppose that means I’m in the wrong line of work. Be That As It May…
It was fun and interesting. Apple announced the iPhone and re-demonstrated the ?TV. ?TV. What kind of name is that? How do I pronounce ?? That’s Shift-Option-k on my Mac keyboard. I have no idea what this will look like online. If the thing is pronounced “Apple TV”, then for God’s sake, write it that way. I thought everyone got the point when Prince did it. That was clever. This is inane. As for the marketing types who think it’s trendy to create symbolic characters for names. Put them in the rocket with the phone sanitizers.
I liked the product, by the way. We don’t stream movies in our household, but I can see the uses. Of course, our cell phone is mainly for emergencies, so we don’t have much use for the iPhone either. It’s cool, though. At least it’s not an ?Phone. I can see that it was a very important announcement for Apple(,Inc.). I won’t buy one. I like my phone separate from my iPod. I am looking forward to that cool technology trickling down through the iPod line.
In the meantime, I suggest you go see “An Inconvenient Truth“. Republican or Democrat, it’s a compelling film. If you’re not a fan of Al Gore, get over it. Don’t let the messenger keep you from hearing the message.
By the way, the link is to the science page of the global warming information site listed during the movie. I didn’t link you to the home page, because they commit one of the egregious sins of site design. A soundtrack on a page without an “off” button. Or a “volume” button. Not. Good. But see the movie anyway. Then, really, write your congressman to put this issue firmly on the national radar.
