60 seconds versions of Jobs’ keynotes: nice tradition

This could become a nice tradition: the 60 seconds versions of Jobs’ keynotes at Apple conferences. The last one was pretty funny and so is the new edition. You get to know the most important news and, at the same time, see how weird the keynotes really are. The Mac crowd often has been referred to as a cult and each time I see a Jobs keynote, I can tell why. A standing ovation for ear buds? Come one! Anyway, enjoy this creation of Mahalo Daily.
