Apple has a new buzzword, and it's not "revolutionary".

I thought it was hilarious (after watching the rebroadcast of the keynote) that I have counted at least 5 instances of : (drumroll): kickass.

:p

SJ, Avie, and Phil all used it at least once. Well, paying homage to Cartman this is what I think of the new G5s and Panther:

Kiickaaass!

:D

I thought it was "boom"

I watched the keynote at work this morning... I had it quite loud so various others could watch and listen at the same time. Steve Jobs said "Boom" that often it had the group in laughter!

Derek :D

I was watching at summer school (I'm working as an assistant) before class started, but the kids started coming in early and so the teacher and I were constantly trying to turn down the volume whenever he said 'kickass'... heh.

boom is my favourite but thats a steve only word and if he stops saying it then I'll be sad :)


kickass was sad by heaps of people, good to see the word spreading

I thought boom was John Madden's word. Like, "Boom, tough actin' tinactin!"

That being said, he's really old, so it will be Steve's soon enough.

When he said boom, it kinda felt like panther was magic :rolleyes:

yeah, Phil even says kick-ass in the official G5 featurette thingy. they must have had a meeting about that one.

You forgot to mention John "Ruby" Rubenstein... in the Power Mac G5 Introduction Video on Apple's website, they conclude the propoganda with Apple's newest unofficial slogan:

"This is one KICK ASS machine."
