Did Jobs fake a health illness to avoid announcing the new Shuffle?

Wow. Today’s announcement of the new iPod shuffle was really something, wasn’t it? Just push a button 10 times, and your iPod will speak a list of playlists. Press 11 times, hold once, then press again, and you can turn it off. It sounds a little too much like this parody of the Mactini by Peter Serafinowicz.

What, too soon?

OK, now that we’re all supposed to not worry about Steve’s health, is it OK to laugh at this? Cause I did.

Giant video of Steve Jobs’ head to pass the torch to Schiller on Macworld’s stage?

So far the only regret I have about my new MacBook Pro is the lack of a FireWire 400 port. It’s not a huge deal, but its absence became immediately apparent when I began attempting to transfer the files from my old white MacBook (which has FireWire 400) to the new MBP which does not.
