I hope they don't because making it a talking point is just further proof that we're backward. It's a non-issue. The fact that anyone cares about his sexuality is the problem.

It's not an issue it deserves recognition.

That's like ignoring racism

Not talking about it is about the Worst thing u can do
 
I hope they ask about his homosexuality and What If anything he would like to do to continue to progress the gay acceptance in society.

It is an amazing thing that he is a gay powerful CEO.

Sure some may argue so what but guess what? Many gays don't have the ability to come out - sports - military etc

Huh, I didn't know that was a technology issue. :rolleyes:
 
Allthings Digital can't afford black, Aeron Herman Miller chairs for their guests? Who wants to sweat unnecessarily on the traditional Herman Miller leather chair?

WTF? Really? There is a time and place for everything. That's like getting pissed off if the President doesn't shake your hand and say "Hello, I am Barack Obama, I'm black." :confused:

Why are you using a tech blog as a platform? You either love Apple or hate Apple. I am not going to bash you for anything on here, except maybe your opinion on Apple, but thats different :D
 
Kara Swisher? Is she that really annoying woman who interviewed Steve Jobs & Bill Gates together, and knew absolutely nothing about technology or their companies? She was relentlessly annoying please don't let it be her.

Jesus that woman needs to shut up. Steve and Walt constantly ignored her dumbass comments, and at one point I specifically remember Steve looking at her like,"Are you seriously this dumb?" after one of her questions.
 
While it is unlikely Tim would "announce new products", it is not entirely outside the realm of reason he would state openly Apple intends to release updates to particular product lines with particular ranges of processors, such as Mac-Mini with new low power Intel i7, iMac with new Intel i5 and i7, MacBookPro with new Intel i7, and MacBookAir with an interesting new ultra low power Intel chip, and one more thing, yes we will be updating MacPro sometime this year.

That would not be a stretch.

I would like Walt to ask the question if a spin-off of the mac line, which is mature, would be a possibility to free it for lower margin continuing operations.

Please don't ask about the AAPL stock price or Facebook stock. It is outside of his wheelhouse.

BTW with 1000 channels and nothing to watch, you're telling me this guaranteed top 20 rated TV show for its time slot isn't being televised ANYWHERE? Seriously?

Rocketman

Does anybody find it odd that Apple's main PR person and marketing chief are there ?

Were they there the times Steve was interviewed ?

No. They were likely invited by Mossberg and Swisher. They've each been there every time Jobs was interviewed and Schiller was even supposed to speak at D Asia, but Steve died.

Katie Cotton kind of stays of the spotlight, but she's a force in the media/PR world. You don't get to interview anyone big at Apple without going through her. She's essentially Apple's gatekeeper.

Is an interview even worthy of a liveblog? Surely a post summarizing the interview should suffice.

Dude, those are Steelcase chairs and Herman Miller is soooo 90's bubble. Get with the new tech, k? And those chairs cost a bit more than a Herman Miller. $2200- $3100 depending on options.

First question I would ask: "Why haven't the Mac Pros been updated in 2 years?"
 
first it says "live coverage' then at the end of the paragraph it says "they wont have live coverage"......WTH ?
 
I wish he'd come out so he could truly be listed as the most powerful gay man in the world.
 
Noob here, but what actually goes on in these conferences? Is it just about the state of the company or is product release information a possibility?
 
Who is John Galt?

Just in case you're not being rhetoric....

John Galt is a character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). Galt is acknowledged to be a creator, philosopher, and inventor who symbolizes the power and glory of the human mind under capitalism. He serves as a principled counterpoint to the collectivist social and economic structure depicted in the novel.

But perhaps you asked the question as this is part of the novel... in that case, forget it.

If you wonder about the literary value in Rand's writings, don't. They are rubbish in its purest form. Most of the present economic debacle is based on her ideas, implemented by clowns such as Alan Greenspan, who was a disciple of hers... so go figure.

cheers!
