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.

The size and shape of the device, the soft, contoured back, and the touch screen are all exceptional bragging points for the new Nook and I really like the improvements over their first generation device. I wish Kindle took as large a leap for...

The Smart Alec Backpack is cooler than you. Even cooler than: TOM BIHN

Photo curtesey of Tom Bihn and user maverick Ordered a new backpack . I'm kinda geeky excited. I've owned one of Tom Bihn 's messenger bags before, and I can attest to the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. I went with the Smart Alec over a Timbuk2 H.A.L. 2011 for both the simplicity of design and more importantly, molecularity of the inside; I can attach dedicated laptop protection or remove it for maximum empty volume for hiking or other activities. Now I have to wait for it to arrive!
