My Macworld predictions were wrong!

I’m stunned. Really stunned. Darling Wife just finished the piece of cake, which I didn’t think she’d eat. :-(

Oh, wait. I got off-track. I meant: I’m stunned that none of my Macworld predictions came true. I thought wireless Pudding would have been a winner. But then again, pudding is already wireless – you can take it wherever you want.

If you missed Steve Jobs’ keynote (aka, the Stevenote), check the CARS transcript (just because it’s funnier than the real thing).

But seriously. $1.00 extra for HD downloads? Does it cost extra to make them? I know the high def DVDs are more expensive (I’ll let the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD folks fight to the death before I get a new player), but I didn’t think there’s be more to it for a download. Mayhaps a little more strain on the servers and my Internet connection, but is it worth $1.00? I dunno. I’d probably have to get an Apple TV first.

Oh, and the MacBook Air does look cool. I am looking for a new computer. But is it worth $1800? With only a 13 inch screen, no replaceable battery, no included optical drive, and no Ethernet port? I dunno. If I go with a laptop, I’m leaning towards a MacBook Pro – more bang for the buck. Doesn’t look as cool, but still…

Some last-minute Macworld predictions

Some last-minute Stevenote predictions:

  1. Ponies. With Pants as an accessory. (Hey, if iPods can have Socks, why can’t Ponies have Pants?)
  2. Pudding. In three varieties: iPudding, Pudding over IP, and wireless Pudding.
  3. One More Thing: Sexbots. Late 2008. As long as that bitch Sarah Connor doesn’t screw things up again. Do you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to keep time traveling to stop her from stopping us? If we could just get her toothbrush…
