I see he removed 'Cook' from your quote, I hate that when people edit what someone posts then make some snarky reply to the now totally different meaning.
SolipsismX heavily edited his post after I submitted my reply.
Here is SolipsismX's original post:

How is this possible when Apple hasn't updated anything since becoming CEO. [sic]
In this case, it is SolipsismX who is attempting to rewrite history by editing a sloppy comment.

Let's see if SolipsismX tries to edit this one again.

So where exactly am I trying to rewrite history? I thought my comment was clear. Since Apple only has one CEO I thought it was clear I was referring to Cook and the naysayers that claim Apple hasn't released any new products because they haven't released any new product categories. My initial comment may not have been as clear as it could be but you also made an erroneous assumption, which is something you have yet to admit.
PS: You've edited your last two posts. Does that mean you're trying to rewrite history? :no:
This is absolutely accurate. Apple has been coasting on past products, and Cook has delivered precisely nothing thus far. I very much hope these fall launches are amazing, but Apple really bet the bank on it.

Shhhhh. They don't count. Cook hasn't been CEO of three companies!!! /s
Still analysts will always gloom the next qtr: Can Apple keep it up? The underlining meaning is: analysts want to be the first to predict Apple's eventual doom even if they have been wrong for 15 years. One day they might be right.

That probably won't change since that's what they said when Jobs was CEO. Only after he died did the asshats move the goalposts to say, "Sure, Jobs could do it, but now Apple will crumble."

Hmmm, I don't remember Apple promising anything with the iWatch as of yet. How can it promise futuristic speech recognition, when it hasn't even been announced?

SolipsismX's response was exactly right, except that the original poster's name was "ManFromMars". In other words, he was sharing his perspective with us, which indeed looks like the perspective of someone living on a different planet

No, the rumored iWatch does not feel PDA-ish to me. Apple touted handwriting recognition on the Newton, but no one has heard what Apple will tout for the iWatch. I speculate that the iWatch will be very Jobsian, meaning they're thinking about how it can enhance our lives by applying advanced electronics technology to human lives. In contrast, the Newton always seemed geeky to me, engineer-driven with insufficient consideration of the humanities. Newton seemed like something Microsoft or Samsung or Google would have created. The iWatch seems like ... Well, I don't know what it seems like. I, just like everybody else, have to be patient and wait for Apple to share their vision.

I bet even had you used the [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] codes you'd have gotten bites.
Perhaps a bit funny, but in no way representative of the final Newton OS release. Perhaps we can next start making jokes about how the iPhone doesn't have a copy/paste function.

Well, Tim Cook was dropping hints about the importance of speech interfaces earlier this month:
If it did have a touch interface, I'm not sure a watch face would have room for more than 1 or 2 buttons. Remember Apple would not make a big silly sized one, it would be small and elegant. My bet is for speech as the primary interface, backed by Siri and/or some Watson tech from the new IBM partnership. And I just think there is a striking parallel there between the first product released by the last man to take over from Steve, and this one. It's almost like they feel they have to really push the tech limits to live up to him.
Journalists leapt on the handwriting recognition errors in the Newton, and it will take a modern Microsoft-loving journalist about 10 seconds to find a voice query where Siri/Watson powered iWatch gives a nonsense answer, and plaster it all over the Internet.

We will have to wait and see. I think the PDA wasn't too geeky, it was just business focussed instead of general purpose. And the iWatch rumours suggest a health focus instead of general purpose.

Take the high horse back to the barn now, please. Thank you.
He replied 9 minutes before you, explaining that you did not misquote him.
Nope, just reporting what actually happened. Admittedly, around here that's a bit unusual.
Note that my first unedited reply (post #17) includes SolipsismX original comment (post #16) which was the one that was subsequently altered.

Ahahaha, your comment wasn't even clear to you, that's why you edited post #16.
I edited my last two posts to correct some typos. Regardless, it still doesn't change why you went back to completely rewrite post #16.
It wasn't clear to me? That doesn't even make sense.
