on another note, anyone else think he is quite tasty?
Oh yes, he sure is. And he has such sexy hands...
Youngsters refer to the Johnny Depp version ...
We "old" people refer to the Gene Wilder version.
One could also refer to the actual book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
It almost looks like an iMac keyboard, but with black keys, at the very bottom left corner of the picture.
I wonder when/if they will ever change the iMac keys from white to black; I think that would look much better. I've used the iMac keyboard with a plastic skin overtop, making the keys look black, but the plastic covering made it feel not good. Plastic (or latex) coverings always dampen the experience...

I don't see why they would care honestly. They offer Boot Camp for crying out loud. Apple isn't competing against Windows (despite what the ads seem to say). Apple is competing against Dell, HP, Acer, etc. They're a hardware business first and foremost.
I'm sure Apple bought the right hardware for the job regardless of the software it runs on. A lot of these dedicated devices have stripped down versions of Windows that run quite well. I'm forced to work on Windows XP at work but it's extremely locked down. So much so the servers never crash. The workstations only occasionally have due to failing hardware.
Now did they legally purchase that iTunes library or are they running limewire on one of those pretty computers of theirs.
I love Gary Hustwits "Helvetica" documentary.
I'm really looking forward to "Objectified".
Cool that Hustwit has been allowed to give us all a peak inside the most sacred part of Apple.

I wonder if he has learned how to say "aluminum" properly yet or not.
Eh, probably not...
He is pronouncing aluminium correctly.
You mean how they say it across the pond, the way he says it having been born there?
Perhaps those people were tailoring their speech to their audience.
I am a Brit and we most definitely pronounce it aluminium, the way that Ive says.
The difference between the pronunciations is due to difference in spellings between the two countries:
aluminium vs. aluminum
Not really anything to get worked up about though.
As it is now, the iMac is some sort of a bastard design-wise. The white mightymouse and white Macbook were already there. Only the premium Macbooks ($150 surcharge over equivalent qhite model) were matte black, but the iMac is targeted to consumers, so white had to be used. Keyboard with black keys next to a white mouse looks bad.
I own a black Macbook and the aluminum wireless keyboard. When my Macbook's top case died (half a cup of coffe, the actual computer works fine after drying for weeks), I swapped the white keys on my Wireless Keyboard for black ones. I didn't like it. The contrast between the black keys and a (usually bright colored) desk surface is irritating. Yet it somehow works for aluminum Macbooks because there's a large aluminum surface around it and the display bezel is also black so it's nicely balanced. If the iMac was build to incorporate the keyboard and pointing device (trackpad), black keys would look perfect. The bluetooth keyboard would look great with black keys too, if only the aluminum frame was larger. Black is too dominant a color to use up more than 99% space on a multi-colored device. If turned off, the black plastic Macbook does stand out quite a lot, the bright display helps.
I suspect Apple will kill the mightymouse eventually and replace it with a large trackpad. The aluminum Macbook's trackpads have way more functionality than the mouse anyway (hot corners, swipe for next and previous, zoom), all of which cannot be done with Apple's mouse. Besides, the Mighty Mouse's tracking is really awful and the scrollball is hard to clean. Apple is known for abandoning standard technology a bit prematurely (floppy discs, VGA, Firewire 400) so abandoning the mouse seems probable. Everyone knows how to use trackpads anyway and if you still want a mouse, Microsoft and Logitech make some great ones, as well as some smaller brands for the design and gaming market. It will also be easier to transition to all-touch computing this way.
I simply read the comments section on the original article's page.Wow, that's AMAZING how you were able to tell what that was
I would love that! After using the MacBook trackpad it's very hard to go back to a mouse. You're right, there are a lot more functions you can do with gestures. I love it.

Mac Pros make up a "small percentage" of Apple's desktop business (the company has long since dropped per-model shipment breakdowns).

Cook said, "the Mac Pro segment of our desktop business isn't large, it's primarily iMac. The Pro segment was down year over year as you might expect because small businesses are cutting back on expenditures in this current economic climate."
All the desktop sales are down and I know Apple and all computer companies are selling more laptops, but Apple would have sold more desktops if they would freaking refresh them already! Either way I don't like hearing that
Or if looking at the more common end of CADD scale Vectorworks which also now uses the siemens parasolids modeling kernel.
Apple has many options for the full range of CAD/CAM work on Mac if they need more power then I'm sure they would go to the other Unixes instead of being frustrated by any of those Windows only CAD packages.
That looks very similar to Apple's HW Q&A labs; I got a tour of them once.
Very interesting to go through, even though they wouldn't let me into several rooms and had black shrouds up everywhere.
