Mac Mini and iPod Hi-Fi Over-Hyped?
RX8 writes "Analyst Michael Greeson takes a look at Apple's new products, the Mac Mini (Intel based) and iPod Hi-Fi and explains why they were over-hyped and how that can damage Apple. Michael explains that when you are 'an industry innovator - when your products fall short of being truly original, your own success becomes your worst enemy.'" Update: 03/04 00:07 GMT by Z : As many posters have pointed out, the article here has little to do with the synopsis. This article is mostly about the design for the mac mini and its remote, which is a fairly interesting topic. Mea culpa, folks.
Zonk's an idiot
And so am I.
Also, the author is unable to spell "Occam's Razor", although they are able to parenthetically explain that "Ockham's Razor" is also known as the 'principle of parsimony' with only a hint of patronization.
:)
Ahh, having one's intelligence insulted by idiots - what a way to wrap up the week.
But what does my opinion matter, I just vote here. It's not like I have any money or anything.
I have just set up a new website to talk about all the different iPod Speaker Systems. I have not had chance to look at the Apple option up close. But with its price tag it had better sound pretty darn good.
Has anyone had a chance to hear it yet?
Check out iPod Speaker Reviews If you have any iPod speaker system it would be great if you could post a review. I am just getting the site started and all input is appreciated and welcome.
Dr. Retarded Check out what they have done now.
Ghetto blaster is no longer a politically correct term .. boombox would be more appropriate.
Shouldn't the paranthetical (principle of parsimony) be a more common term than what it is describing? If I didn't know what Ockham's Razor was I'd be more confused, not less by parsimony...
But I guess while you're patronizing you might as well do it up right.
-1, Off-topic... I guess I should have belittled the person I was correcting. That got the guy right after me modded up as Insightful. :/
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
"Hype" is short for "hyperbole," and thus already implies an exaggeration or embellishment. It is redundant for something to be "over-hyped." Might as well say "frigidly cold" or "homeland security."
