The quietest 30th birthday ever.
Apple turned 30 on Saturday... and nothing happened. (So much for my Great April 1st Apple Prediction.)
I get that there was probably no super-exciting new product quite ready to announce yet (like the iPhone or "real" video iPod or Mac Mini DVR or iTunes Movie Store or whatever) and that they still need to clear out existing inventory, but they didn't even bother to commemorate the milestone on their own damn website - much less in the Apple retail stores. I went to the Apple Store Barton Creek expecting a sale or maybe some commemorative t-shirts or posters. Nothing. I mean, would it have killed them to have at least served sparkling apple cider and apple pie or something? Very odd... and very un-Apple.

The birth "day" may have been quiet, but the after-party has kicked into high gear.
