We should say, he didn't sit and say "You know, I want to sit and talk to CBS about this." This was an interview that was scheduled because they have a big announcement that they want to announce tomorrow. It is not a new product, we should say, it's not a new product. It's something I think bigger and better than that. So we did an interview, and we did it at the Apple Store here, and he's at his headquarters, and he agreed to answer other questions. But that wasn't the purpose of the interview. What we're going to tell you about tomorrow is very exciting.
No further information on Apple's announcement has been made available.
