I wonder what's up with the new Wifi Store icon?
This is during Phil Shiller's bit, in the first 8 minutes. Its probably nothing more than an icon, but now it represents music, rather than just a down-facing arrow.
Yeah, i was thinking the same thing.
The video quality is really good right now. I'm guessing that a lot of people haven't tried watching it yet. Usually, right after an event, I get blocky video.
And thus, I see this as a mistake. If a regular average person loses their iPhone with all their contacts, songs, data, etc. shouldn't they be able to go home and remotely wipe their iPhone, as well? Sure, there may not be truly sensitive data on the iPhone, but there should always be that option. Certainly if I lost my phone for any reason, I wouldn't want some random person knowing all my contacts, etc.
Strange irony, then, that by December of last year, Apple had surpassed HP's market capitalization, is outpacing their growth, and recently purchased about 50 acres of HP office space no longer used because of layoffs. Apple is in the process of building a second campus on that land to house around 3500 more employees.
If ever there were a pitch for a "Pirates of Silicon Valley II: Apple's Revenge" that would be a great footnote in the same spirit as the "Microsoft now owns part of Apple" footnote on the original 1999 TV movie. Almost funnier than when in 1997 Michael Dell suggested that, were he in charge, he would break Apple up and sell off the parts.
