- MacBook Pro battery life should be "about the same"
- Jobs does not feel that PowerMac sales will suffer greatly during the transition
- On the lack of iPod killer products at CES: "What's going to happen is that Microsoft is going to have to get into the hardware business of marking MP3 players."

- On the lack of iPod killer products at CES: "What's going to happen is that Microsoft is going to have to get into the hardware business of marking MP3 players."
Agreed. The only way to do it is to do both the back end end the front end of the device and its software. There is where Microsoft has failed. Its OEM's pretty much make crap. I'm pretty sure if Microsoft makes the whole kit it could become a fair competitor to the iPod. Beyond that when they say point I'm assuming they mean a tenths of a percentage or are they talking an actual percentage “point”. :confused:
Oh and this was interesting:
Your new iLife software has a blogging application. When will you start your own blog?
(Laughs.) After I get a few days of rest.
Wouldn't it be funny as heck if he quoted someone who was talking crap about the new PowerBooks* on Macrumors. Ah oh. Steve Jobs is gunning for you!
...Jobs states that the Mac market share has increased by a point this past year (approaching 5%)...
We're movin' on up (*movin' on up*), to the East Side. To a de-luxe apartment in the sky!Sorry, couldn't resist.:D :p
...when they say point I'm assuming they mean a tenths of a percentage or are they talking an actual percentage “point”. :confused:
Now that's what I want to know.
Oh and this was interesting:
Why? Are you referring to his previous battle with cancer? Or just because of his coughing during the expo that implied he was ill in some form or another?
Phew... Relieving news on the MacBooks... Definitely getting one for college now!:D
Almost. It would have been interesting to hear Steve's response to:
You downgraded the new MacBooks to single layer DVD drives. What was the reason.
[if size]
So is the hair's difference in your opinion worth the loss if the drive?
Why? Are you referring to his previous battle with cancer? Or just because of his coughing during the expo that implied he was ill in some form or another?
No that he is going to have a Blog.
No that he is going to have a Blog.
Oh.
He strikes me as the type that would just write one big book after leaving Apple instead of blogging his day-to-day routines. It would be neat though.

I heard a couple years ago that 1% of market share is equivalent to about $1 billion in gross revenue. Of course, as volume goes up, net profit increases as well, as R&D and marketing (both of which are high in Apple's case) becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of expenditures.
