Now we are told Rhapsody will be MacOS X and that it will run only G3. I could've sworn Steve said it was targeted at G3's and their immediate predecessors, but maybe I misunderstood. -travis

Apple really needs to get more coverage or upgrades from Analysts or the stock will go flat or down until the next earnings report is released. Well now that all of the news is out..It might be time for the shorts to resume their feeding.. I am thinking about buying Apple again but not really sure it is justified based on the amount of move the stock has made in the last few weeks considering the amount of news released on Apple. hmmm?

I think today's news are bad. Rhapsody joins the long list of yes-no stop-go projects from Apple. Apple has little credibility, and all of this fudging does not help it at all. On a different note, today's crowd was really tough. Mostly only polite applauses (I counted only three times where the audience really applauded). This is also really bad. Developers are not emotionally committed to Apple (contrast this with the audience last week). Jobs said that nobody wanted to develop for Rhapsody. I assume used hyperbole here, but that indeed the vast majority of developers refused to develop for Rhapsody. The stock price gave back a good chunk of it's earlier advances and I think it will gap down tomorrow morning. Long term MacOS X might be the right way to go, but after so many fumbles who knows, and most importantly, who cares?
