Found Footage: The reality distortion field, caught on video

I didn't see that Keynotes have seen few and mostly none of the adverts. I have never wanted an iPod. Recently someone gave me an iPod touch as a gift. I love the touch screen and the ability to download apps and the maps and email via WIFI.

However after using the music player I had conclude iPod is not that great. In fact when it comes to using it on the go it's a DOG. Compare it to the Creative Zen Vision M which I've owned for over a year. You have so much control over what you want to listen to when you're away from your PC. For a company that has over 70% of the market Apple are far behind on user interface. If you haven't used a zen you wouldn't know what I mean.

iTunes is also a dog but not in all caps since I like the way it keeps my files organised and helps me remove duplicates. However, It never warns you that it will remove your songs, or application or anything, it just does it. Yes, I was new to it. but it deleted all the songs I was given and I can never get them back unless I buy them.

The iTunes Store, well they have made some good improvements lately but they should take some hints from Amazons websites, When you go to Amazons site YOU are the only customer they have. At least that’s how you feel. The website is tailored to my interest and I never see offensive material as I do with iTunes. I won't be buying from iTunes until I stop seeing material I personally find offensive not when I can get it from mp3.amazon.com.

erm, there is some "brainwashing" of sorts going on - Apple's doing the classic public speaking trick of driving home "power words" - you'll notice that each speaker had their own power words too - Jobs had his set, the other two had theirs - Jeff's words were "easy - really easy", said more than anything else; , but his keywords were easy easy easy. Phil's were amazing, incredible. This isn't by mistake.

To the thread commenter who said "most who buy apple products don't see these keynotes" true that, but the ones who do attend and see these keynotes often report, cover, journalist-up the keynote for Joe Public to read about.

This isn't by mistake. It's not malicious brainwashing, but it is advertorial brainwashing by design.

And if you don't watch the events, you just get brainwashed by the superiority of the products. Super!

Besides having an incredibly amusing handel, @mustardhamsters makes a really wonderful point, which is that it's amazing more CEO's can be so enthused about their really great products, if they actually have them.

Seriously, though, I wonder what a mash up of me describing some new exciting hardware, like my incredibly amazing and wonder iPhone 3GS, would sound like. I think anyone excited about something tends to overdo the adjectives.

Mike:

Thank you :)

I mean enthusiasm is one thing but yeah, after a certain amount of saturation, it does seem a bit insincere to some I'd imagine.

I mean there are things in this world I like *way* more than Apple Products that I don't fine I need to add *that* much Fantastastunniamazigorâ„¢-Juice to them in an hour to get the point across. I can just show people and they go "woooow, thaasss kewl!"

Magniflorious!

I find that these presentations more often detract from the experience of learning of the new features rather than enhancing it. Its more fun to dig through the updated Apple website and discover them one by one. Or read TUAW's or Appleinsiders coverage. I think the only reason people watch them is because that is the soonest they can actually find out what the new features are actually going to be (after endless speculation). Otherwise, very few people would pay attention to these presentations at all.

And presumably edited on a Mac with the truly (really!) incredible FCP.

fantastic!

that made me laugh harder than the funniest youtube video - well maybe!

it always seems a little more smooth coming from Steve, but Phil always sounds unnaturally forced with his abundance of positive adjectives.

funny stuff!

incredible!
