It Fits In a Freakin’ Envelope!

So, who else was geeking out to the Apple keynote today? I took lunch at my desk, and dissected the MacRumorsLive coverage with a friend.
Interesting… None of the announcements was earth-shattering, but Steve Jobs is a master at building buzz and product reveal. Me? I’m hoping for a price drop on the iPod classic or […]
