Timing

I've always kind of wondered what exactly Al Gore brings to the table by being on Apple Computer's board of directors. At the very least, you'd think he'd be sorta up on current events and could raise some red flags.

Some current oddities:

Apple's WWDC (worldwide developer conference) has been announced and scheduled for June 30th, 2004. If you aren't aware, that's kinda sorta when sovereignty over their country is supposed to be handed over to Iraq. If I were a betting man, I wouldn't be surprised if something might happen that caused technology announcements to get... a little drowned out. Unless Gore knows something we don't, and gave Apple the big thumbs-up. Yay.
They've code-named the upcoming release of Mac OSX "Tiger", which does keep in their current tradition of product code names involving cats. Unfortunately round-about the time that Tiger will be released, a certain flamboyant las vegas magician who, you know, got bit in the neck by a white tiger will be starting to make the rounds on TV and giving interviews... and you just know they're going to be running that clip on TV millions of times. Start making your jokes now, I can already picture the desktop wallpapers we're going to see. Unfortunately they're already linked in my mind.

Anyways, just a thought. Then again I'm the guy who held onto his 667MHz Powerbook because the real CPU frequency was 666.666, and, you know, having the devils laptop is a good conversation starter.
