Waiting for the Shock and Awe
My co-worker who sits across from my cubicle condo here in The Oklahoman newsroom claims that I drank the Kool-Aid that Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs has been pouring for the last decade. He calls me an Apple “fanboy” and worse.
Well, I admit that I’ve viewed the products that Apple has introduced in recent years with a certain childlike sense of wonder. So, it’s with great anticipation that I await Jobs’ keynote address this week at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. I will search out the live bloggers tomorrow and follow the speech as closely as I can without actually sitting in the Moscone Center.
Later, I’ll watch the two-hour Webcast of the event at my leisure, and even invite the infidel sitting across from me to watch it with me. Anyway, the world awaits the latest high-tech gadget that Apple will introduce this week.
Rumor-mongers are speculating that Jobs will introduce a flash-based MacBook. Or a product line that uses WiMax for long-range wireless reception. The iPhone is expected to be upgraded to 3G technology and at least 16 gigabytes of memory. And Apple TV should become even more DVR like. 
But what will the “one more thing” announcement be that takes everyone’s breath away?
I’m betting that it will be word that The Beatles are finally on iTunes. We’ve been waiting for what’s left of the Fab Four to finally give in and let Apple sell digital versions of their music. And Jobs will bring down the house when he brings Paul McCartney onto the stage to seal the deal. Wish I could be there. Business News Reporter
