I'd feel better about that whole Beatles thing if they'd used a snippet of one of
their song lyrics (instead of the Stones). In addition to gently letting us know not to expect a tablet, it
also might be their way of saying "don't expect any Fab Four/moptop/Sgt. Pepper/Walrus crap today either."
Also, we can discuss the possibility of Mr. Steve participating or not. He's back at work, he's got his fingers in the various pies (Apple, of course), etc. What better way to say "I'm
not dead, you ghoulish, rumor-mongering sons-of-bitches" than to show up, jeans and black turtleneck intact, and pegging the RDF into the red?
And watch Apple's stock go up eleventy zillion percent.
