That was my EXACT thought when i saw the keynote. When you prepare for a presentation like the keynote at WWDC you think hard about what you are going to wear. This dood thought he was looking sharp which amplifies the douche factor by 3.

All this nonsense because some guy wants to wear two shirts, and a bunch of Apple pricks who pay twice as much for an "innovative unique" laptop want to ostracize him for some tawdry attire... Get a life. The irony that half of what apple produces is a stupid garish eye sore that makes little sense should more than nullify any comments on this page. Consider context, he is attending a meeting hosted by the same company who brought us proprietary "blueberry" colored non-upgradeable computers with a single button mouse.

Yeah, everyone I was sitting with at WWDC saw him come on stage and were so floored by his shirt they couldn't pay attention to his pitch. Someone in front said "I was gunna try that out but now i'll think of this ass-hat every time I use his software. Pass…". Ouch. Why would anyone wear that on stage in front of 5,000 people?

We were told to market the polos that way - especially Ralph. Guess they really want people to buy two.

I know this has been said a couple of times, but I think the guy is trying to look like an apple. He put on the shirts, thought it looks kind of gay but the idea is cool, and went with it. That's actually kind of hot.

he couldn't decide which polo to wear, so he just wore them both. I wonder if he wore the green one on top and the pink one underneath the next day.
