Steve Jobs Keynote highlights. There's a good one and it's not Randy Newman.

Ok, so yes, I'm pretty much a Microsoft guy, but I can appreciate innovation in any flavor. It was in that spirit that I decided to watch the keynote. You know, I almost forgot how charismatic Steve Jobs is. He talks up a good game. He even ribs MS on one hand by reading the accolades for Leopard from someone at PC Magazine, and thanks them almost in the same breath for releasing Office natively on Intel.

All of that aside, he jumped into a product called Time Capsule that I wish like hell that we had on the MS platform. It works with Time Machine to create backups of your system WIRELESSLY to a WIRELESS SERVER GRADE HARD DRIVE!!! Screw the Macbook Air, screw the updates for the iPhone and iPod, and screw Randy Newman. This announcement alone was worth the entire keynote. There's a 500GB model for $299, and a 1TB model for $499!!

Did anyone else notice how the free update for the iPhone will cost iPod users $20 and it's not even the same feature rich upgrade as is on the iPhone. C'mon Steve, who do you think is going to pay $20 for this update, when they can jailbreak their iPod and make it do so much more than that?
