We met with Apple many times, but not with Steve himself. For the record, I think I first saw Steve demo a product about 1980 or so (it would have been an Apple II variant at the Boston Computer Society). I vividly remember the Boston Computer Society's east coast premiere of the Apple Lisa, and its east coast premiere of the NeXT--gak, was that more than two decades ago?--is still the most memorable Stevenote I've been to. Over the past few years, I've been to most Stevenotes (I did, however, miss the original iPhone debut). All of which is a roundabout way of getting to my point: If I've ever exchanged words with Steve before today, I've forgotten about it. So I was neither surprised nor displeased to hear him call me "blue shirt." --Harry All of eh I used to be the editor of PC World–no more! We met with Apple many times, but not with Steve himself.

I thought you were an editor-in-chief of Macworld? How does he not know your name? Or is that some other guy in a "blue shirt" that I"m thinking of? Steve called you the guy in the “blue shirt”?!?

Admittedly the motion sensing would be tricky, I don't think you'd want to have to tilt your mac, go ahead and just let that functionality fail. I'm picturing either a Mac who's touchpad is a slightly larger the the Iphone's screen, (to accommodate running apps designed for both portrait and landscape mode), or just a mac with a large touchscreen.

I hope Apple keep prototyping touch technology and develop something special for desktop and notebooks that's as intuitive to use as the iPhone.
