Q: Why aren't you participating in the "Intel Inside" sticker program? A: We like our own stickers better. We love Intel, and we feel most people know that we use Intel processors. We'd rather customers not have to peel stuff off.
Q: What about the Mac Mini? A: The Mac Mini is being refreshed today with faster processors.

Q: You have Multitouch on the iPhone. What about on the Mac? A: It doesn't make a lot of sense right now on the Mac. We'd classify that as a research project.
