mac os x 10.5 leopard is out. i’ve been using the GM for 2 weeks, and it’s great. not revolutionary, but really a nice refinement of tiger, which was already great. leopard has enough cool features out of the box to make it worth it, but more importantly it’s laying the groundwork for some really amazing software to be made.
the iTunes Store team moved into a sweet new building, and it’s *all* offices! the last place was so cramped, most folks had to double up within a cube. now i’ve got this beautiful view of the condo’s being built across the way.
PLUS, they just started a commuter coach direct to/from SF. it’s a luxury bus with leather seats and wifi, direct between Cupertino & SF…and it picks up 2 blocks from home! and it’s FREE.
PLUS, we get the entire weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas off with pay.
PLUS, the stock is at $183.
PLUS, i got to play with Leopard the day it GM’d.
i like my job. =)
exactly 6 years ago, steve jobs introduced the ipod from Town Hall on the apple campus. can you believe the ipod’s only been around for 6 yrs?!
earnings were announced today, and it was another record quarter: Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
notable stats:
AAPL is up $12 in after hours trading to $186. unless profit takers come in tomorrow, our market cap will have passed that of Intel and IBM(!).
Steve is holding a company meeting at 10am to talk. presumably a pep talk for the holiday quarter. =)
