The outrageous views from all sides are frustrating. 1. As fond as I am of the company, Apple has to take the lion's share of the blame for today's events. I would not expect Apple to respond to the Gizmodo rumor, but as I posted at the time (L…

I worked at a Whole Foods Mkt. for a few years in the late 80's/early 90's. There is a certain stereotypical vegan health nut; they can be both thin and a bit crazy. But this is a stereotype, and it's no more true that all vegans are thin and/or c…

Here's a quote from the Gizmodo article: "This is why Macworld is a no-go anymore. No more Steve means no more hype. Saying they are no longer needing [Macworld] is the cover designed by the worldwide 'loyalty' department." The claim is being …

I'm a long time Apple fan. I've always said that one thing I like about Apple is that it's not merely a money-making endeavor. I really believe that Steve Jobs doesn't put money first. Instead, he's motivated by certain ideals. He's concerned ab…

Why are so many dismissing the relevance of the Beatles? The Beatles catalog was never remastered for CD, but that's been going on behind the scenes over the last several years. When the albums are reissued, along side the new Rock Band game and i…

There were three key ideas behind my initial post: 1. There is definitely a future for television/internet convergence. 2. Hardware from Microsoft, Sony, Amazon, Netflix and others will all be competing with the ATV to enable elements of that …

When the comments come so fast and furiously and the opionions are so extreme I'm always a bit distraught until I have summarized the situation. Usually I just do this for myself, but I have some time this afternoon, so I'll post. 1. Many posts …

On every college campus on the planet students take notes in class. In meetings all over the world people take notes. The overwhelming majority of this note-taking is done with pencil and paper. Taking notes on a laptop with a keyboard sucks. Wh…

I like analogies, but it seems to me that you're missing the key issue. Nobody's asking Apple to lower its standards, or even to cater to the masses, just to fill in an obvious gap in the lineup. I admire Apple's good sense in ignoring the bottom …

From a customer perspective an xMac would be a good thing. No one in this thread has denied this point. More flexibility than the iMac or Mini at a better price than the Pro - what's not to like? What people have argued is that from Apple's persp…

The more I think about this "conspiracy theory," the more plausible it feels - I guess that's the way with conspiracy theories. But I think some of the replies here actually lend support to the idea that resolution independence is behind the missin…

As I understand it, the main advantage of resolution independence is that it will allow us to take advantage of high resolution screens. With sufficient resolution we could have screens that are as crisp as magazine pages. But without resolution i…

I certainly agree that DVR capability would be an awesome feature for customers, especially if it was controlled on the iPhone/Touch. But I don't think that Apple or anyone else can expect to offer this feature and still maintain a working relation…
