How many of you have 0% hype for today's event?

I've been disappointed so many times the last 3 years at Apple events. So many disappointments the last few events:

1. releasing the iPhone 6ss
2. Apple Watch crappy interface, nothing really innovative
3. AppleTV. Nothing new. Just a roku
4. No home hub
5. No touch screen Mac's
6. No Apple brand TV display

Its going to be the same old crap.
Tim Cook, Eddy Cue, and some other random Apple executive spouting about how 'amazing' something is.

Apple is getting stale, boring, no excitement.

Don't get me wrong. They still make the best quality product and very reliable. Just like a Toyota.

But Apple use to be Ferrari. They use to be sexy, cutting edge, and make your blood boil. Now its the same crap with a tiny bit of improvement.

IMO, its a reflection of how lazy and self satisified the executives have become.
Cook, Cue, Shiller, and Ive are all established. All are worth more than $100 million and are fat and happy. They are not willing or motivated to take risks because they got it made.

Apple needs a serious shake up. The old guard is just..........old. We need new blood that is excited, innovated, and willing to fail miserably. We need younger execs who are hungry, have vision, and want to make a mark in the world.

I can't be alone in this. Can I? 

You want proof of how far Apple has fallen?

Do you think 5 years ago Microsoft or Google would even dare release a product to compete with Apple's premier products? Hell no.

But Google bringing out the Pixel at the same price as the iPhone is a sign. Google sees how weak Apple is now. In the past Google always had to compete on price. Same with Microsoft and the Surface book and Surface Studio. That's how weak and feable Apple looks to its competition now. 5 years ago that was UNTHINKABLE.

You are not alone.

With all the research being done indicating a likely correlation between EMF radiation that's being emitted right next to one's head and various brain cancers I think these Bluetooth AirPods are a bad idea. With most people ignoring the dangers of placing their cell phones with their associated RF radition right up to their ear's constantly, Bluetooth will be adding an addition threat to one's health. And please, don't tell me there's no substantial proof of the dangers.

I'll say it again ... totally botched the removal of the headphone jack. Essential transition technology should have been ready day one, not a month and half later, and now with no ETA at all ... really inexcusable, especially considering how much time they've known this was going to happen. Probably won't affect sales of the iPhone 7 substantially, but really poor form considering all the other compromises customers who made use of the headphone jack have made since upgrading to the iPhone 7.

Ever work on a drafting table or an easel?

Yes. The Microsoft Studio idea looks great, but I can't imagine that screen being able to support any weight at all, especially at the top. And if there's one thing I hate when working on a drafting table is when things don't feel solid under me.

I imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to create a brace for the top and/or sides.

Microsoft out innovating Apple in PCs. Never thought I'd ever say that. I was looking at getting an iMac but the Surface Studio made me pause and reconsider. I'm intrigued. Will definitely test it out when it comes out.
