How long before Apple gets criticized for missing the beat of the market, for poor pricing strategy, for unsatisfactory looks and functionality, with its as-yet-un-announced product, based on a hard drive that isn't even on the market yet?

That thing is amazing...I understand micro-manufacturing techniques at some level, but when I see it in practice, I'm always just...wow.

Well, I thought I'd put it out there before anyone else had the chance

Really though, I thought that this was an amazing picture, and the fact that it's 8gigs really blew my mind.
