Biz Journals had the headline “Apple stock down on no Jobs’ surprises” which Microsoft’s MSN Money site was more than happy to run. The business world wasn’t moved.

In all, the day ended with no bang. No great stunning new gizmo that no one even thought of but rather, everything — for the most part — that everyone anticipated: a PowerMac replacement running Intel chips with some Leopard highlights. That’s it. Wow, is Jobs losing his touch?
