TUAW interviews Veronica Belmont
In our continued meanderings around Macworld we found Mahalo Daily's Veronica Belmont shooting some video of the Apple TV. Once again we asked for a little perspective on the keynote.

There's the old timers like Mossberg.
The young hot shots like Gruber and... well at this point pretty much everyone else.
Of course there's Fake Steve Jobs.
Then there are the cute girls like Veronica Belmont. How long until we see her partying with Paris and the gang?
Probably quite a while.
It's kind of like the skateboarding world. There are guys like Chris Haslam, Andrew Reynolds who you may never have heard of but are huge stars to thousands of kids. The thing is, in reality they're just semi-grungy guys trying to make a living and sleeping on their buddies couch. Not so glamorous to the average person, so they aren't really going to care.
The reality of tech-celebrity is hours in front of a computer and maybe a little time in front of a camera. Pretty much the same thing the rest of us nerds do.
So don't get annoyed or worried when you see these emerging celebrities. They'll never reach the immortal status of Hollywood stars because there's no mystery to what they do. We do it to.
They're just a little more informed, funnier, cuter or luckier than the rest of us. So sure, let them have some attention.
Let's not forget iJustine! What hetero male Mac-head wouldn't lust after her?
...and my newest geekcrush, Hannah, the girl does the Apple TV guided tour! Anyone else check this out yet?

You know, find a couple more like these two (Nitrozac maybe? I haven't seen a photo of here in a long time, but I do have a boot fetish) and we could make a really cool geek calendar!
Next time, you should try to get the interviewer and the interviewee in focus, not the background! Otherwise entertaining. Will: Media people has been interviewing media people for the last 100 years, only difference is its called a comment, not an interview :)

On another note... what was the point of interviewing another blogger other than the fact that she's semi-cute?
Little Bit of a Crush Scotty my man?
