Touchscreen – nah, Apple won’t half-arse this like HP have. It’ll be Cocoa Touch all the way not on the screen (RSI anyone?) but on a…
Mighty Mouse replacement touchpad – the mouse is dead, long live Gestures and speaking of dead…
Bluray RIP – down with silver-discs as soon as your collection gets scratches you’ll know what I mean besides who really watches full-length movies on a computer? Train delayed?

I still have a Microsoft Intellimouse with a functioning scroll wheel, and that’s been used on my PCs for nearly 8 years!
