'Tis the Season...

For many of us, 2010 has been a challenging year.  Starting a new enterprise like this one has certainly come with its share of "opportunities".  While Ken and I have a lot of fun with this site and our podcast, this time of year reminds us of what is really important.  We spend a lot of time and effort discussing and reporting what’s going on in Cupertino, but I want to take this opportunity to remind myself and everyone else to keep it in its proper perspective.  After all, while we are continually amazed and sometimes mesmerized by the never ending stream of Apple products, they are just that. And while we can sometimes be tricked into believing they are almost magical, the real magic resides in the people who created them.  None of the toys they create will ever bring us the lasting joy that comes from family and loved ones.

What’s under the Christmas tree isn’t nearly as important as what’s on top.

Merry Christmas.
