I agree. For crying out loud when will people realize that they are putting their lives and the lives of others in danger. After all, why do you *need* to drive your own car? Take a bus. Take a cab. Take the subway. Let a state licensed professional drive you around. I've never understood why people feel they have a right to choose to do something dangerous. With mandatory black boxes in vehicles the state will be able to show that the professionals are the ones who should be behind the wheel.
Apple is now getting in bed with Sony Music, among others, for streaming. Streaming music from Google and Amazon's cloud for no additional charge was nice too until Apple...
I would like it if all apps had to get vetted through an app store process for OSX just like the iPhone/iPad. The solution is to give up control to Apple. Steve Jobs is the smartest person. And routing all decisions through him will make sure that the best decisions are made quickly and then pushed out to all Apple controlled devices ASAP. I never understand why people want the ability to make decisions that will harm themselves when Apple is telling them that they'll handle it. The nerds need to get a life.
And so you're going to tell us that this will revolutionize everything now, right? And what a visionary Steve Jobs is? And how Apple is the only company capable of being innovative these days? And the stock price... Got it. Thanks.
Naw. Just Apple. According to Steve Android is fragmented and it will just wither up and die. So no point in having Google show up. They're just as good as dead already. And Steve thinks the best Facebook user-experience is through Safari or the iPhone app. So, once again, no need to grill Facebook. Just grill Apple.
As long as Apple is in bed with the labels and Hollywood they will bleed customers. iTunes epitomizes this. iTunes broke the ice. But now Google is making the iTunes model obsolete. Apple carefully works out cooperation with the big labels before it takes any action to ensure that Apple gets a nice cut as well as the labels. Amazon and Google just say we're going to give the people what they want. They don't bother courting the approval of the Labels. Freedom to be device/manufacturer-agnostic feels wonderful. Call it fragmentation if that makes you feel better. If I never hear the word "keynote" again I wouldn't be missing a thing.
Agreed. Not so well. Although technically we never asked him to be specific about what kind of "change" he had in mind. We just placed our faith in a really sharp looking candidate. What we need is a wise leader. Not intellectualism.
My goodness, yes. My father in law has no concept of common sense, thinking critically or of using his own memory to answer questions anymore. He just Googles everything and then reads off the first search result that catches his eye. Don't even get me started on Snopes.
They are also famous for their secrecy. OS X Lion isn't out yet. So, no, Apple will not be saying anything about their plans now. But just wait, Apple will announce that that's where they are going. And they'll tout it as revolutionary; just like they always do.
And my blood pressure will skyrocket just like it always does when Jobs casts Apple's control-hungry behavior as revolutionary.
How cool, thanks Steve! We get a new agreement too! That old legality-ridden "contract" concept they used to use felt so restrictive. That's just Apple for ya. Filling the world with agreement.
Yea, really rare. Apple just doesn't make mistakes. That's why we just buy anything with an Apple on it and ask no questions. It's even a bonus when the antenna doesn't work and our calls drop. We're so blessed that Apple bestows these quiet peaceful moments of silence upon us as random acts of kindness from Cupertino. I just wish Apple made everything. The world would be a perfect place.
Don't worry. Steve's just looking out for your user experience. If you really understood what this was about you'd be amazed at how Steve is just doing this so he can wow you and revolutionize your life. Now put the ear buds back in please.
Sure, I'll comment on my own post. All but guaranteeing that nobody else will add anything else to this. The first tip-off was the use of the phrase "horse's asses". Right off the bat the commenter was going for the sensationalized colloquial rendition. Red flag #1. Second there was no way the poster would have any personal experience with what standard the Romans used since he wasn't alive then. So he had to be passing on some knowledge from handed down wisdom. Red flag #2. Anyone who's got any experience with units of measurement knows that no 2 horses have the same ass width. Red flag #3. This could go on forever. But if a person uses their brain (not snopes) they can flush out bad logic. Unfortunately all people do now days is Google the answer and then depend on Snopes to back it up. It's just sad. Also, nobody uses their own words to prove anybody wrong anymore. They just lazily spam everyone with some Snopes link.
(And, seriously, people don't spam everyone with links you Googled about how arbitrary the choice the weight of kilogram is or the inch, or any other crap about how arbitrary just about every unit of measurement is; or examples from history about people using anyone's ass for a unit of measurement. We know.)
I'm so sick of people sticking their "snopes" nose in the air. I swear, nobody knows how to think anymore. All people ever do anymore is "Google" and then "Snopes" what was Googled. Go do something people. Learn from experience!
So in 1000 years people will falsely credit the USA Government with the invention of the light bulb? What a shame when credit for all inventions, discoveries and accomplishments goes to whatever government had authority over the actual inventor. Why can't you wrap your mind around the fact that individuals are the source of all ideas. A government has no wisdom of it's own. It's wisdom comes from from the individuals who make it up.
I can't believe the number of people that think the only by-product of fossil fuel is gasoline. Even the roads you would drive your no-fossil-fuel vehicle on are made out of by-products of fossil fuel. The resin-molded arm-rests. The insulation around every wire, the rear-view mirror enclosure. The window tint. The lubricating oil. The foam in the seat. A vehicle that has "nothing to do with fossil fuels" would not be a winner.
What I want is the ability to toggle between stock Android (aka NexusOne) and the manufacturer's interface (if I happen to prefer it). This way it can stay just as open as before but allow users the easy choice to go the clean stock route too. One more requirement I'd like is a requirement that manufacturers support and push out the latest OS update as soon Google releases it.

This explains Apple's product strategy. Their products look so glossy and shiny. Even a mac book air suddenly becomes an impulse buy.

Detecting a pattern?

Thanks AC. Here's a hint for you: Please put the ear buds back in.

Yea, no wonder iPhones seem to be multiplying like jack rabbits.

YouTube is Google's product. They can encode their video as dog poo if they want to.
What's your point?
Don't worry. Steve's just looking out for your user experience. If you really understood what this was about you'd be amazed at how Steve is just doing this so he can wow you and revolutionize your life. Now put the ear buds back in please.
Exactly. I was expecting to see a comparison between the A5 and the ARM A9. That would be an worthwhile comparison.

Or even, "With the advent of this revolutionary technology Apple is considering it for the iPhone6 and the iPad3."

Aren't we all supposed to be talking about whether the marketing people should have claimed "60%" improvement in comfort?
