As soon as you said that I heard...

"sproing, sproing, sproing, bibbibbibbetibib, sproing, sproing...."

...and imagined the little iMac doing the moves.

I wonder if the chrome arm would allow the full range of movement needed to animate it in place of Luxo Jnr?

Both have character, certainly!

I've never seen anything (cool) like it. What's steve going to invent next? A kleenex box? Oh wait...that's already been invented. How about something like the shape of an Apple. Heheh. He'll call it the "iFruit" or something.

What do you think the next generation of iMac's after this "iLamp" should look like?

I'd love it if the imac really did do what it does in the quicktime movie

The rapper announces it and it spins around bobbing it's screen up and down... OH YEAH!!!

Anyone know of the name of the tune that iMac dances to in the beginning of the ad? . . .
