Seri­ously, it’s so white that it actu­ally seems to give off light itself. It stands out so harshly against the rest of my room because it looks so clean and min­i­mal. It’s like a work of art sit­ting on top of a rubble pile in Cher­nobyl. It’s so clean and pris­tine that I feel like I’m sul­ly­ing it every time I lay my grubby fin­gers on it.

Some of you may be won­der­ing why I’d now be a Mac owner. Those of you who know me know that I’ve never been a fan of Macs gen­er­ally speak­ing. I find them overly simple, their mouse scares and dis­trubes me, they have some extra keys, and Mac users tend to be just so damned snooty. Have I sold out?

Yeah, I’m aware that every­one and their mother has prob­a­bly talked about this by now (it has been at least 24 hours; a life­time on the inter­net) but like every other tech nerd on the planet, I half-​feinted work as the live feeds came rolling, or in many cases crash­ing, in.

I could talk about every­thing that hap­pened, but that would be retarded. This is my overview and so I’m going to talk about the things that inter­ested me the most.
