Keynote Day – Andy Ihnatko's Celestial Waste of Bandwidth (updated)

Today, Apple’s showing off MacOS 10.7, iOS 5, and iCloud, a new service that glues everything together. Overall it feels less like “we’re coming out with the next version of an existing thing” and more like “Here’s how we’re defining the direction of the company for the next five years.”
Andy Ihnatko is one of my writing heroes and a damn fine technology analyst to boot. Plus, he wears a Red Sox hat on a regular basis, so he can't be all that bad anyway.

He has a way with words like few writers do; he is an extreme rarity in the blogging world for this reason alone.

Plus, he just seems like a nice, interesting guy. Check him out at his personal blog, professional gig with the Chicago Sun Times and his weekly podcast with Leo Laporte on MacBreak Weekly, please.

Edit 1: Andy adds clarification to his post I linked above here. I think his insights into the coming announcements are good and logical.

Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994.  Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience.  Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now.  Well, sorta.  This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware.  Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
