You all can debate the merits of the keynote goodies but let me tell you why the answer to the question "Did Steve Jobs just sacrifice Phil Schiller?" is "Uhhh, no." When the original clamshell iBook was introduced, Jobs did the keynote. And Phil Schiller's role in all this was to jump off a ladder into a stunt bag, holding the candy orange purse-looking thing, to show its sturdiness. Do you think Steve Jobs would ever do such an undignified thing himself? And this was what... 8, 9, 10 years ago? Schiller is considered a joke. He always has been considered a joke. He looks and sounds more like he should be a cast member on Full House than a presentation guru. Jobs claimed they were pulling out of MacWorld years ago, but went back on the idea for whatever reason. He doesn't have to "sacrifice" anyone. He's Steve Jobs, for crissakes. Y'all don't have historical perspective on the man and the company. You can't make these kinds of assertions without it. Note: Schiller has a tough row to hoe and he clearly works very hard to do a good job. I don't personally think he's a joke, but he's treated like one. "He's no Jobs" is hardly a damning statement.
