Tom imagines a lot...now he is imagining a world where everyone is
controlled. Typically, people like this are really the ones being
controlled...as Apple does to it's users.
Hey Mike--Tom, too -
Cut out the hyperbole.
We use Macs and iPods/iPhones because they're good products, in spite of
the reality distortion fields from Jobs and elsewhere. I remember the
good and bad products.
The new Maxi iP[a/o]d is a niche product, like the Mac Cube, but even
less practical, like the MacBook Air. Some people will love it, some
will hate it. Unless Apple deals with some serious issues, like a
nonstandard SIM slot and only a dock port, it will remain a niche toy
with lots of happy consumers, but not much practicality. Wireless--WiFi,
3G, EDGE--isn't "everywhere"--and do we really want to search for a
McDonald's or other place just to transfer pix from our cameras, or
carry a variety of extra cables that fit only into the dock port?
Nah. Silly. A few covered ports could eliminate the need for all those
extra interchangeable dock cables--you'll need plenty of nonstandard
cables to make up for the lack of basic connectivity. Don't be snarky,
Tom, I don't mean floppy or Zip disks either.
We're not zombies...not zombies...not
zombies...zombies...zombies...zzzzzzzzz
