    Which triggers the (unevitable) question, what a real "Boom" is compared

    to a Steves "Boom".

    Let me guess, it presumably changes the odour of the air?

    If I were him, I'd start using a different word altogether. Apple seem to like doing what you least expect no matter how ridiculous. How about 'boing'? Said with a tone that would describe a comedy erection.

    Ah, but Steve-O knows how well known "one more thing" is in the Mac community so he's gotten to the point where he'll throw in more than one in a keynote...just to be cute.



    It used to be that he'd precede it with thanks for Apple's staff, their families, and wish everyone well. Those were cool -- more unexpected. He'd save it to release a brand new mouse and mention that there's a free one for every person in the room. Stuff like that.



    Now it's just a thing to follow all the other updated products in a new product's line. "Those are the updated iPods, but there's just one more thing. People want an iPod with a touchscreen...." Yawn.

    Nah, that will get you nowhere. However, I can manage to imagine,

    that there is a (visible on stage) female (and/or mixed?) chorus, that's gonna

    pitch into all the "Boom" situations with a crisp and deep "Boom".

    (Think a capella Bass Drum "Boom")

    Not really, after thinking more about it, I'm going to amend my guess to about 9. If they do release something with a multitouch trackpad, when he starts showing off the resizing and rotation pinches, there'll be a lot more 'boom' going around than most peoples' guesses of around 5.

    All right, good point. I see, it is very hard to predict. So many unknown parameters here.

    But I agree that the "Boom"-rate rises when he tinkers with the Touchpad.

    However, as someone else mentioned above, Hardware alone doesn't prove

    for "Booms". It's the software, stupid?.

    Ultimately, the software for Multi-Touch would have to be on the computer, so it is a marriage of the software and hardware in this case that would cause the boomage.

    Boom, you're spot on. (*grumble*)

    I cannot wait for the day that every nugget of marketshare/sales info is so far ahead of expectations, and every product announced is so far advanced from the current offerings; the entire keynote would consist of nothing more than El Jobso clicking through clear & concise keynote slides & saying "BOOM!" with each new slide…!

    That probably counts for more than 10 "Booms".

    One more Thing is: .Mac for everyone, now it's free of charge.

    .Mac and Movie rentals work Hand in glove. Rent a Movie, store

    it temporarily at your iDisk, watch it at your leisure.

    Jobs demos the feature by draging a Movie onto the

    enhanced iDisk. "Boom."

    Someone above promised to report. still awaiting his/her voice.

    Personally I counted less than 10, but I can be wrong anyway.

    Disappointing.



    I have only counted one "boom" (during the talk about Apple TV Take 2) and interestingly, a "schoom" (nearer the beginning, can't remember exactly where but I'm sure I could find it).

    I probably missed that thing. However, how'd you pronounce that

    particular word? scoom as in scant? Or else like in schedule?
