I laughed when he projected the estimated percent increase in trees. I hope this filters into future presentations. "We're here to announce the iPhone 5, but first...we've been really, really happy with the growth of our tree population here at Apple."

  I grew up in Ontario, where McIntosh are king (and deliciously awesome!). I was surprised, when I moved, that a lot of people didn't know that the MacIntosh computer was actually named after this apple (trademark, or something, prevented them from using "McIntosh")

    It was probably the trademark for McIntosh amplifiers (http://www.mcintoshlabs.com/us/Pages/Home.aspx http://www.mcintoshlabs.com/us/Pages/Home.aspx).

    "Macintosh" was also chosen because it's acronym-proof

      Still doesn't stop people from writing MAC instead of Mac; its an abbreviation, not an acronym!

        Things like these help separate the clueless from those you should pay attention to. It's a Good Thing.

    Also, McDonald's like to sue people for using Mc-, kinda like Apple likes to sue people for using i-.
