Looks spooky. And also quite . . . boring.
I licked him once, on a train. He tasted like banana. Not like a real banana, but like banana-flavoured things. You know, nothing like banana.on another note, anyone else think he is quite tasty?
It is good to know that when the documentary comes out that Macrumor folks will analyze every frame and quote for clues.
OH MY GOD!!!
I think I see a tablet in the background.
And the iPhone Nano.
And the new iMac.
And the new Mac Mini
And the new Mac Pro.
And the new netMacbook.

I've had a crush on Ivesy (what I call him) for quite some time. And hearing him speak just makes me melt.
Oh, and um... really looking forward to that documentary too!
Only thing sexier than Ivesy is the thought of getting a sneak peek into behind-the-scenes at Apple!
Reading the tea leaves here, this interview was done a week ago, after all the Jobs drama had unfolded. I feel like this unprecedented access to the executive team of Apple is a conscious effort by them to start getting some of their "next in line" out in front of the cameras and to start to build some cult of personality around them as natural successors to Jobs.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but if we next get a "day in the life of Phil Schiller" or "Cooking up software with Tim Cook" as a news puff piece in the next few months, mark these words

If you've haven't seen this guy's documentary "Helvetica," I recommend it, it's pretty fascinating. The Wilco one is great, too. I'll see this new documentary for sure, and not just because of the Apple stuff!
The display in the background looks like it could be a prototype of an Cinema Display. This could be a replacement of the 30-in Cinema display and might have a touch-screen on it. (by looking at the size of the buttons and knowing the fact that companies are offering a touch screen upgrade for the new 24-in)
Apple might be putting in a touch screen to eliminate the need to hire another company to do so. Also, Apple needs to offer the Matte option for the Unibody MacBook displays like they are offering it for the new 17-in MBP.

I know what Oompa Loompas are. I just thought that there would be a running joke among Apple fans or something...like PowerBook G5 and "snappy" and ridiculous things like that.
What I meant, I guess was, what do oompa loompas mean in the Apple fantasy world? I think...
Oh and by the way, I am 19 years old. Thanks.
You are joking right? That is the control console for the machining tool behind it.
The point of the "oompa loompa" comment was referring to the usual secrecy that Apple places on their creative and design areas in much the same way that no one knew that the oompa loompas existed in WW&TCF whose inner workings were shrouded in secrecy. There was no "specific" meaning in MacLand of the oompas.
ooh this looks interesting. I'm looking forward to the release.
... and Gene Wilder is the bee's knees.

My father works in a secure facility (classified) and when they allowed families in once (and only once) everyone had to clean their offices of anything classified and lock it up the day before. I'm sure Apple is the same way.
Nope, it's just a Fadel vertical machining center control panel.

Yeah I kinda got it now after reading through the thread. People thought I was asking what the oompa loompas were. One member even went through a huge amount of trouble to teach me how to use google. So helpful!
