Out inventing the iPhone, perhaps?
Yeah right...snickers.
no
Delayed by a snowstorm?
...at Krispy Kreme.
by the way i hear Cisco is sueing Apple :
Apple Inc.'s much-ballyhooed iPhone was unveiled this week after 30 months and millions of dollars in top-secret development. But the sleek new iPod-cellular phone combination could wind up costing the company a lot more.
Cisco Systems Inc., the world's largest networking equipment maker, sued Apple in San Francisco federal court on Wednesday, claiming that Apple's iPhone violates its trademark.

at Krispy Kreme is very plausible.
I just looked at the picture of "Tipper" and the pictures of "Al" further down the thread.
Could someone with HTML talent post the Gore couple side by side for comparison.
I fear the answer may lie in another question. When was the last time anyone saw Al and Tipper together?
Do I wonder where Al Gore is? No.
Do I really care? No.
Do I think he took a private jet to get there? Of course.
Do I hope he stays there? Absolutely.
Tipper not looking so well, actually looks like a male crossdresser! Ewwwww!
#11 is for you....
Where ever Gore is, I hope he stays there, permanently.
Sofia, I directed your question to the moderators.
That's not Tipper, it's Al in a wig!
I saw that.
My read on that is that Jobs figures he'll go with the ubiquity argument, or perhaps challenge Cisco's ownership of the mark (Cisco actually got the mark when they purchased another company)
I've also been involved in situations where a deadline is imminent and an aspect of legalese is not solvable contractually before the decision needs to be made. In such cases, the petitioner (Apple, in this case) simply goes forward. If they can show good faith attempts to settle with Cisco prior to going to market, they might get a favorable ruling
YMMV.
Democrats, all.
Reminds me of a Douglas Adams scene where *they* declare leaves as the new currency, so everybody is now wealthy, but due to inflation, they'll have to burn down all the deciduous forests.
Probably delayed due to a psychotic break.
