Hi Veronica, I love to watch your show. I think you are really cute, today I was watching you on YouTube during my break in the Hospital. Refreshing moments, after being around angry Fat RN’s all day.

I enjoyed the keynote, I really like Phil Schiller and I was hoping he’d do well.

The keynote itself was basic and workman like. Nothing fancy, nothing special. It simply accomplished what it needed to do and no more.

It certainly wasn’t as good as a Stevenote but overall IMHO I’d have to rate it higher than a typical Microsoft keynote, and that’s a pretty good start for Phil. Plus the keynote was glitch free.

Phil was very nervous at first, he doesn’t own the stage like Jobs does. But I suspect that will change over time and with experience. I hope Phil gets a chance to do more keynotes. This may be the end of Apple at Macworld, but there will always be Apple keynotes… Somewhere.

I’ll be working the afternoon’s of Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and Friday morning, just down the way at Sling’s Booth – LVCC Central Hall 14438. I’m try to sneak down to catch Tekzilla.

Odd coincidence – I was out at my local watering hole in Worcester, MA Saturday night before flying out to Vegas on Sunday and one of the guys there, upon hearing I was going to Vegas, told me I had to check out this place called the Double Down Saloon.

Now I’m really going to have to try to make it there Saturday.

Frank, my MacBook Pro broke too… with a little help from a cup of coffee over the keyboard

Trying to work out whether to load up my already battered credit card with a shiny new 17″ replacement that they announced today at MacWorld, or pay to have it fixed.

I stopped by the Double Down Saloon last week when I was in Vegas via Patrick’s suggestion on the show. I wasn’t digging the Bacon Martini, but the bar and Ass Juice were both awesome!

First post?…..

Yay!!

It’s almost a spam, I know.

Too bad Vegas is too far for me to drop in and say hi.
But hey Veronica I think you should come to Japan and pay me…or us a visit someday!

I like your style and your shows!~
Keep it up you are doing great!

<3 from Japan

What about DRM-free iTunes? Maybe it’s a lot of hype but whatever Apple does will be watched by lots of people in the entertainment industry, music and beyond.

-updated macmini
-something with internet + multimedia with a subscription/rent service
-snow leopard news of when it will be released + opencl

-time capsule update

ces:
-tv begone part 2 or other prank
-balmer will do 1 thing not yet predicted/expected by other bloggers in his keynote
-churros & conquistadors
-msi’s new wind netbook model specs will spur on new interests & competition
-yet another hidef dvr that will never see the light of day or get stripped of functionality if it does (echostar tr50 dtvpal ::cough cough:: )
-more about those hybrid bluray/dvd discs
-bluray players w/ faster load times
-sony’s new & expensive subnotebook line trying to be like a netbook
-another content protection scheme that will hurt consumers
-home theatre pcs
