Is it possible that Steve Jobs is a thereminist and soon announcing the iTheremin?

I am sure the famous Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_distortion_field) would help convince us he was an [i]insanely great[/i] thereminist.

And, speaking of insanely great thereminists, I have been looking at some of Clara Rockmore's recordings under the Audio Lab (http://www.rustykat.com/) microscope. Early results seem to suggest that either Clara had a Reality Distortion Field every bit the equal of Steve Jobs's, or (more likely) that my methodology or understanding is at fault.

Can anyone either point me to a very clean recording of Clara playing a cappella, or offer some guidance as to how I can isolate the theremin in a recording and remove any other sounds, as it may be that the presence of accompaniment in the recordings I have is corrupting the results.

I heard a similar rumor, to the effect that Apple's follow-up to the MacBook Air would be the MacBook Ether.

The interface certainly fits the company's trademark elegance of design. A rod for pitch, a loop for volume, they sense the proximity of your hands... what could be simpler? (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/apple_introduces_revolutionary)
