Here’s a couple more clutch screen caps from the streaming video of Phil at the Special Event:
Phil was in the audience with his iPhone submitting photos to the .Mac Web Gallery Steve had just built with iPhoto.
Here’s the wacky photo Phil uploaded!
There’s been much brouhaha over the guy (Bob Keefe) who asked Steve Jobs why Apple doesn’t put Intel Inside stickers on Macs, but here’s what Phil had to say on the matter:
“It’s not just about Intel Inside. When you buy any off the shelf PCs, the boxes are covered with confusing logos, and messages, and icons. You open it up: there’s stickers to peel off displays and keyboards; they’re all over the place. And then you start it up and you find junkware all over your desktop and in your menus that they’ve littered with it trying to up sell you on junk and that whole philosphy: we try to just give you a great product that you’ll love and you don’t have to peel stuff off to make it look better.”

Here’s a pic of Phil talking to the Press outside of Apple’s Chicago store on North Michigan Avenue. Can any Chicagoans provide links to what those cameras recorded? I would love to see that piece from the local news.
Dude, Phil was on fire yesterday at the WWDC Keynote! While the Keynote itself may have been a little tame, I knew we were in store for a great Schiller show when John Hodgman’s PC character claimed to be Phil.
In the humorous opening video in the style of the rest of the “I’m a Mac” ads, PC Guy at first posed as Steve Jobs but then thought better of it when confronted and claimed to be Phil Schiller. I don’t know, it was funny when they did it.
But the real meat came 54 minutes later. After the Keynote had been rolling along without much life or energy, Phil popped on iChat AV as Steve’s only buddy. For the next several minutes it was pure Schiller hi-jinx as Phil demoed the many cool new features coming soon to Leopard’s video chat. First he showed the new iChat Theater, but he really hammed it up for the fun special effects. Schiller hanging upside down arms waving and then sipping coffee! Star Wars hologram Phil! But he saved the best for last, pulling a Conan O’Brien mouth cutout, first with George Washington and then with Steve Ballmer. It killed, plus it brought a lot of energy back to the Keynote.
Go Phil!
