The internets are buzzing tonight while Mac fanatics get nostalgic about a little robot. Hell I’ve believed that Macs were sentient since 1993. Over at the Unoffcial Apple Blog they are mentioning that Disney-Pixar’s new movie WALL -E boots up making the old standard Mac startup sound the infamous “sosumi”.Come to find out they report that Apple has connections with the movie. Steve Jobs is apparently the largest single shareholder of Disney-Pixar and he’s on the Disney Board of Directors.
WALL•E’s job is to wander around an abandoned Earth, pick up trash, and compact it into small blocks. However, when he finds something that he likes, he keeps it. It didn’t get past me that one of the things he likes is a 700 year old iPod that he has rigged up as part of his makeshift music system. 
WALL•E’s girl friend, EVE, was actually designed with the assistance of Apple Senior VP of Industrial Design Jonathan Ive, who apparently spent a day with the Pixar team in 2005 consulting on the ultra-sleek floating robot who bears a startling resemblence to my Apple Airport Router…
This movie has a very romantic and sentimental theme. It’s a perfect date movie. If you are a Mac fan, a Star Wars fan, or a Star Trek fan you will love this movie. It’s good green fun, and it has an important message delivered with just the right ammount of humor and sensitivity. Go see it and bring friends.
