I'd ask him how he's going to deal with potential conflict of interest between his two (ultra-cool) companies.
On the one hand he's Apple. He should be giving us ways to store and use our digital world.
On the other hand he's Pixar, and is adamant in protecting his intellectual property.
Will his interest in Pixar prevent us from unregulated, iTunes like storing, playing, and streaming [editing] of our legally owned movies on our terms, rather than this DRM crap that he's pushing to the MPAA?
We should be able to rip DVDs (HD-DVDs) to our hard drive. We should be able to stream them over the wireless network to our entertainment centers, along with the HD streams we record (and convert to the new Mpeg codec) onto our macs from our Cable carriers. This is what an Xserve Raid is for.
I'd ask him how he plans to deal with that.
