Apple's top 10 'belly dance' moves

apple and the mighty mouseWas it when Steve Jobs announced that smaller, more portable laptops would never be popular among consumers, later to go all mini, all the time with the iBook? Or, when Apple finally let its consumers have more than one clicker on their mouse, despite a decade of insistence that one was the loveliest number? Which is your favorite of Apple's many marketing flip-flops?

Wired has a highly entertaining (and not a little enlightening) trip through what they call the "belly dance" moves Apple has made over the years. Number One: when Jobs announced that Intel's processor would be the wave of the future, contrary to his insistence, in November 2003, that the PowerPC would never die.
