Blogography: Snowplowed - David Simmer is crossing his fingers for an iToast toaster announcement at MacWorld

Snowplowed

Posted on January 5, 2009

Dave! This morning I woke up to a fresh 9-inches of snow that magically appeared overnight.

Needless to say, I was not thrilled. I had to wait over an hour for the snowplow people to come dig me out so I could get to work. Not a good way to start the week.

In other news... OMFG!! TOMORROW IS THE MACWORLD KEYNOTE!!! I'm totally excited, even though his Royal Steveness won't be the one delivering it. Even worse, Apple has decided that this is the last year they'll be participating at MacWorld, which is a sad passing of a long-time tradition.

It may be my last shot, but I'm still crossing my fingers for iToast to be announced!

iToast

But I'd also settle for a $1000 price cut on the MacBook Pro.

Or maybe something new, like a MacTablet.

But mostly an iToast.

how about an iMonkey. It can jump on your back and make you want an iToast real bad.

Oh wait. You already have that.

And Steve Jobs only has a hormone imbalance. So rejoice, or er, something.

After just buying a MacBook Pro, I'm going to be pissed if your $1000 price cut dream comes true.

Pissed I tell you.

I could go for an iBeer.

It wouldn't taste any better than a regular beer or have a higher ABV, but I sure would look cooler holding it in my hands. :)

Keynote: looking like a 17 inch macbookpro with NO internal battery!!!! I think it's a bad idea. But I'll have to watch.

The minis might be nice machines. Better if they had blu-ray.

I want iPhone tethering for a decent rate $30 and the 5gb the phone gets dose not impact that normal data.
I want more phone storage and connect my keyboard via BT

Good luck with those wishes!!! Except for the iToast, I have the same ones.

Did you see the open letter Steve posted on the Apple Home Page yesterday? That was a very un-Steve thing to do.

Since my wife bought a new toaster that's less than stellar (burns one side of the bread and hardly toasts the other), I would buy an iToast in a second.

Considering I am in the market for a new laptop, I actually cannot wait for the keynote this time. Mmmmm, Mac.

Is it like...once you go Mac, you never go back?

Not being an Apple whore, I always assumed that MacWorld was an expo run by Apple. Will it even survive without Apple there?

Steve Jobs.

Like James Brown.

Is dead.

(Really... you think that deal with Disney was for kicks??? That was for an animatronic Jobs while the real one is frozen in the basement of Cinderellee's Castle... really)

The MacWorld people seem to think that they can keep going without Apple... and even without animatronic Steve Jobs. Personally, the only real reason for me to go was to see his Holiness address The Faithful, so I don't know that I will be back. If enough people feel that way, MacWorld is doomed.

DOOOOOMED!

Steven really wants to buy us both iPhones, but is waiting for the keynote to see if they are realeasing something "better." I didn't realize it was tomorrow! Thank heavens.

Um..... what's a Mac? Also... what's an iPod? I have none of these things and suddenly I feel quite off the grid, so to speak.

tee-hee-hee (no, it's not a rickroll).

I would only buy an iToast if it burned the Apple logo on one side (like the Darth Vader toaster).

iToast? I like it.

What about an iToilet? That's what I'm thinkin'.

Do you get to touch Steve Jobs if you go to MacWorld?

I'm holding out for a $1000 MacBook Air... and an excuse to buy one.

iToast makes me hungry for toast, with jelly. yum.

Posted by Sarah on January 06, 2009 | Reply

I'd be pissed at a big price drop on MacBookPros after I just bought one. I would like to see an iPen: no internal ink.

Why hold out for iToast when you can have actual Hello Kitty Toast RIGHT NOW. Just go to Amazon, my friend. It's real and it's there.

I'm shocked :) that your graphic doesn't show the iToast with an apple impression on the bread. Hello Kitty puts a kitty face on your toast.
