How awesome is Snow Leopard? Like, so awesome, right? Hold onto your hats, friends, because it just got awesomer: check out that virtual keyboard!

I don’t know. For whatever reason I’m not too keen on all this touchscreen stuff. It’s going to take an extra special Steve Jobs “…and one more thing” announcement to change my opinion. Not that any of you care, of course, which is how it should be. Just sayin’.
