Maybe this time when Steve delcares 2006 the years of "whatever" we'll realize that means that there will be no other news related to "whatever" for the rest of the year...
So hopefully Year of the Intel Transistion is out of the window...it would be bad to have that stall out.

EGT said:No, it'll be like the Willy Wonka Chocolate factory. Everything will be edible! iPods, Powerbooks and iMacs.
"1,000 songs in your pocket, 1,000 calories on your ass".
So, "Do not eat iPod shuffle" will be removed from the website?
Well said...
And I am of to Kamakira on January 2nd to visit several shrines as part of my annual New Year activities - and I will get my 'ema' with a dog on it and return my old one to get burned.
Now, as for Apple, it will be...
The Year of the Falling Stock Price - as Apple struggle to live up to the growth in the past few years with the iPod being as big as it is - it will take something really inovative to continue the growth we have been seeing - and Intel macs may not pack the sales punch many expect as users wait to see the stability of the new systems

Another Year till 2007, yeah.
Why do people even care what kinda of title year it will be for Apple Computers? They never keep on they promise anyhow, for example:
2004: Year of the notebook.....yeah, right.
2005 : Year of HD...........yeah, how about NO.
2006: Year of PPC to Intel transition........I will believe it when I see the entire Macintosh line there.
As you can see Apple never hits the nail on the head.

1. Most of what Leopard is supposed to be is dual processor architecture support PPC and x86. As the transition will take some time, however more code optimized for x86.
2. Streamline the apps.
3. Resolution independence.
4. Bio-Security.
5. Server oriented enhancements for the DoD.
count me on the "home media" bandwagon. something to do with video downloads/ streaming, etc. then again, year of HD was gone and forgotten about 5 minutes after last year's keynote, so maybe the whole "year of" business is pointless..
