OK boys and girls I will spare you the fanfare, hype and waiting. Were going to get right down to the meat and potatoes of today’s Apple Press Event (It’s Only Rock & Roll.) Thanks to theappleblog.com & gdgt.com for their live coverage of the event. Without them I would not have had this info or these pictures to bring to you.
Steve Job’s is back and did a large part of the presentation. He has the liver from a 20 something male who died in an unfortunate car accident and donated his organs.
