in The Apple Keynote Leaves One Question: What Are You Living For? on LifeDev
Thanks for the link and all... and sorry for being in such a crappy and cynical mood today...
... but even without the "mood" I possess, this "event" has bugged me for the past few years. For the exact reasons you mention; why should a PRODUCT launch from a COMPANY mean so much? Yes, I fully embrace the knowledge that we all need meaningless distractions in our lives- especially in our current world- but I do ask the same question; what ARE we living for?
I have an immense amount of respect for Jobs and Apple, but they haven't produced a cure for AIDS or stopped world hunger. He's a great guy, but he's no prophet.
Maybe today (and next year) I should just unplug for the day... I'll be less likely to be offended by the news of a new phone that will NOT save the planet from itself.

My sentiments exactly!

I don't care that much about these new things, or let's say I don't let them influence my life that much, but somehow, as an Apple user, I can't get away from the Reality Distortion Field lots of Apple fans are experiencing. It makes you want what they make, and it makes you find reasons to want it. Even if you're a positive minded treehugger like me.
If you're a Mac user you probably know what I mean, and if not, you probably never will...

It was a great show and I am really glad I was able to make it.
Could Yeager be BSNYC? Nothing would surprise me when it comes to Sky. For sure.

Does Sky commute in NYC? If not, she can't be Bike Snob, I guess. But
could he/she be another industry insider?
