I found myself unexpectedly in front of the Apple Store on Michigan Avenue today. Flowers, balloons, cards, candles, apples (each with a single bite taken out of it, of course), post-it notes all over the front window, and a lot of sad people gathering in front. It was as solemn as any church.

Some, not unexpectedly, have negative reactions to the sleek'n'shiny new MacBook Air's lack of an optical drive (that's a CD/DVD drive to most of us). Okay, I won't try to convert you, but I'll take what Steve Jobs had to say about it and go into further, personal depth.

Remember when the iMac appeared in 1998 and had no floppy drive? )

Am watching Steve Jobs's keynote address from Macworld 2008 (linked from apple.com, which I understand is breaking the internetz with the volume of people rushing to see it), and it's a Mac fan's wet dream. The thinnest laptop in the world fits in a manila envelope. Eeeeee. I wouldn't trade my gorgeous MacBook Pro with its 4 GB of RAM for that little thing, no I wouldn't--but, damn, it would be a fabulous accessory computer. I would get it just so that I could pull it out of my purse and show it off.

And Randy Newman is SLASHING BUZZ LIGHTYEAR AND WOODY. NOT MAKING THIS UP.
