Personally, I'd rather wait for the media to pick up Jobs' marketting spin, filter it, rince it and present it for what it is - hardware and software with more or less value.
Right, because as we all know, the media does such a great job of interpreting new information. You wait for your media messiah to save you by interpreting information for you. I'd rather get the info straight from the horse's mouth (via a webcast and then the website for more technical information) than wait for some oversimplified summary that completely misses any parts of importance.
Get my music from Walmart? No thanks, I like having uncensored versions of my music.
Nothing is more frustrating than trying to listen to "family friendly"ized songs. Then again, by the way you censored yourself, it seems like you're down with that sort of thing.
The far more interesting aspect of this is how the "restocking" fees will be classified. Will they add a new category or just classify them as late fees as they should?
Except that they aren't really getting rid of late fees. They're changing the nomenclature.
Here's how it works:
You rent a movie and have a due date. You also have a week long grace period. The effect is that the due date is effectively at the end of that grace period. At the end of that grace period (the real due date), you are forced to buy that video. No late fee, or so it seems.
If you decide that you didn't want to buy that video, you can return it within 30 days and get your money back, but less a "restocking" fee. Think about this a little more. You rent a movie. You keep it longer than they wanted (you're late). You can return it, but they're going to charge you a fee. Hello late fee!
Anyone that believes that this policy change was the end of late fees is an idiot.

If released, the $500 Mac would be a G4.
Meanwhile, you're at home in your parent's basement getting off to that thought. I'm not sure which thought is more disturbing.
I must be missing something. We're both reading Slashdot right?

Is this a joke? Or are you really that stupid? If the latter, then may I suggest http://stupid.jobs
