The keynote is now partially available. they only put up 12 minutes or so, including the powerbook and wireless gear intro's. you can see his lack of hair in motion now
As made painfully clear with each keynote webcast, quicktime has a few serious problems left.
As to be expected, it craps out and only a restart will allow quicktime to play the stream again. This has been bitched about for years on nearly every discussion board.
How the hell are we supposed to keep tabs on job's hair and still maintain our uptime?
I think he's just got an ultra-short, clipped cut going on. Yeah, he's got a high forehead and perhaps some top thinning, but it's more like Phil Collins than Joe Biden...receding gracefully as opposed to clumping out.
And he's doing the right thing too: guys getting thin or losing their hair ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS look a gazillion times better when they crop it close and keep it neat. There are few things on the planet worse than some guy doing the futile "spaghetti wrap" thing or growing a stupid "ape cape" in the back to compensate for what's going away in the front/top.
Have some grace about it. You look better with a short, trimmed look when you're at that stage. Low maintenance too. AND it sends a subtle signal that "hey, yeah...so what?" that combovers and forced bushiness just can't (and don't) convey.
When/if mine starts to go, I'll gladly adopt the "clipped/trimmed" look. Much nicer.
Is there no' a lesson tae be learned here? Look my brithers and behold the futility o' building up treasures on Earth whaur moths may devour and thieves break in and steal. For a' the man's immeasurable wealth and power the fickle fingers o' fate have plucked him damn near bald as an optical mouse. When once he micht hae snapped his fingers in the face o' destiny wi' the rash imperiousness o' the computer magnate (or King Canute) he - like a' before him - has been humbled: Brocht tae hirsute ruin as the sands o time run oot.
Surely his lang, winding path through the years is strewn as much wi' his erstwhile lang winding hair as his computer products. Like thistledown in the wind the richly flowing locks o' his youth hae blawn far, far awa' upon the cauld winds o' time as he enters his autumn, and neither piety nor wit nor running Quicktime backwards can bring it back again. Therefore let those o' us whose scalps are still cossetted neath' richly woven blankets o' finest follicular thread reflect on the fact that even the G5 cannae stop baldness.

Speaking as one whose hairline has begun to wage a slow and steady retreat, I can say that Mr. jobs is dealing with it well. It is a complete fashion CRIME to grow your hair long when you are loosing it. Can you see anyone buying a Mac if Jobs demoed it with a combover? Talk about used car salesman...

Then Phil always asking to use his bathroom and whatnot.
Is it just me, or is Jobs losing his hair?
Wouldn't we have to see a picture of your head to answer that.

Now see, this is why I love Mac fanatics. We follow Apple so closely we're even watching the CEO's HAIRLINE. Too classic. :-D

Hah! That was the first thing I thought when I watched the keynote stream this morning.
Obviously he is!
That always cracks my up...he has like 4 water bottles at every keynote.
