    CEO's don't need to write essay's, they can write curt, to the point answers.


     


    Read, digest, decide, answer, sometimes one word may be enough.

    I would love to see that.  I'm boring and wear clothes.

    You just had to go and try it to see what it would be like - well now you know.

    He's not into clothing, he's into computers.

    See the trouble touchscreen keyboards can cause!

    Thankfully you can buy Bluetooth keyboards.

    Are you missing some fingers? I'm trying to think of reasons you wouldn't be able to type on an iPad…

    I find typing to be easy, obviously not as fast as a physical keyboard and dictation is always an option and it isn't too horrible, I tried it out a bit yesterday while talking to a friend on FB.  Seemed to make more mistakes / completely miss words more often but the tradeoff is it's much faster, if I were composing something long it'd be worth the time saved to go back and fix any of its mistakes.  Of course for some situations dictation might be .. not the best choice.

    Anyone happen to know if there has ever been a worse physical keyboard than the one Apple provided with the G5 iMac?

    That's the first thing I thought as well. He should have been rocking an iPhone 5 months ago.

    Maybe he needed the maps to work in NYC.

    I got the ZAGG keyboard when it went on sale cyber Monday but just the other day I had to type something up that I didn't have the keyboard yet (was still in route) and I found no troubles at all typing along with the split keyboard. Started wondering if maybe my desire to have a physical keyboard was really misplaced.

    I replaced my laptop a while ago with an iMac iPad combo and have never looked back, for what I do it is actually far better because the battery on the iPad lasts forever.

    He is neither a programmer nor a content producer, so iPad probably works great for him. Hopefully he realizes that is not the case for 100% of all Apple customers.

    Hopefully his light use of computers doesn't blind him to the fact that there are those who still use keyboards with computers to actually DO things besides chat.


     


    I can only imagine Cook's communications within Apple:

    I know I'm not the only one who hates the semi-literate correspondence imposed by touchscreen keyboards.  Half the time I don't know what the fu[k the other person is even talking about.
