My thoughts on Apple Let’s Rock event

Yet another Apple special event day went down lastweek. The supreme overlord, our beloved cult leader, Steve Jobs comes down from the mystical mountain of supreme divine innovation and gives us mortals his legendary keynote speech.

As usual I was not invited. However that doesn’t stop me from following the event live. Tracking tweets from Twitter, lurking in IRC back channels and refreshing Engadget as fast as I could click the refresh button.

Right after the event is over, I wrote a short report of what when down on MyMacBUZZ, the Malaysia based Apple blog I co-blog once in a while.

Here are two things I had noticed on the keynote.

First is the use of the world ‘cloud’. You know a buzz word will pick up when you see Apple starting to adopt it. Cloud computing deserve a post on its own, which I will write some other day.

The second thing I notice is Apple’s (or Steve’s) obsession on ‘thin’. Surely this anorexic culture is not healthy.

Steve Jobs introduces the new iPod Nano dub as the thinest iPod ever created. Other iPods like the new iPod Touch also gets thinner.

First was the MacBook Air now is the iPods. I hope this anorexic culture only apply to its product line and not the people working on it because I don’t think its healthy.

However, as Apple product gets thinner and thinner I can’t help but to notice that Apple’s beloved CEO, Steve Jobs is also getting thinner and thinner.

I would like to think that he is fine and healthy and it is just due to his new diet, but Bloomberg had already drafted Steve Jobs obituary, which was accidentally published recently.

With this I had to wonder, who will replace Steve Jobs once he is really gone?
