Apple.
I think we can all guess, by the title of the invitation emailed to media this morning, what will be occurring in Apple-land a week from now. An iTunes movie store (finally!) seems to be a sure thing, with a strong likelihood of the “true video iPod” that has been discussed for months.
After a somewhat unexciting year of Apple in the consumer space, seeing this invitation has got me truly excited. The iPod line has remained largely unchanged this year because of the recently completed Intel transition. Seeing a preview of Leopard was cool, but we have to wait until 2007 to get our hands on that.
The phrases and artwork on these Apple invitations are true genius. It’s Showtime. We’ve been holding our collective breath for a while, and with two words we now know that there is only one more week to wait. Apple, start dazzling us again.

From the Urban Dictionary:
Snier: [1] A deep insult, short for snier-bread, an even worse insult. If one is called a snier, sni, or snier-bread, they should be hurt and felt hated by most and disliked by all.
Clearly not a word to be taken lightly, snier is one of the worst insults that anyone could possibly use. The word snier and its derivatives have created many problems throughout history, most notably being the cause of the American Revolution. The British were not happy when the Americans called them all sniers for taxing them without their consent. Parents everywhere have warned their children never to call anyone a snier or snier-bread, promising fierce consequences if they disobeyed. The first recorded incidence of its usage occurred in London in 1893 when a mother made her son eat only soap for an entire week after he called his father a “snierbread roll with orange marmalade,” a particularly severe insult.
All kidding aside, I hope you enjoy the writings of the snier…
