Recently at Town Hall at One Infinite Loop, Steve Jobs attacked Google and Adobe. He called ‘bullshit’ on Google for their Don’t Be Evil mantra. I wonder why he’s so upset about it? Maybe it’s because Apple IS in fact an evil company. With their hip ad campaigns and yuppy marketing you’d never know how evil they are. Case in point, deleting songs off of your hard drive that you paid money for and never telling you.

Jobs then took a jab at Adobe stating that they were a lazy company. Lazy? Lazy for giving us some of the best media tools for both on and offline use? Lazy for helping to push the standard of FLV video which enables slower computers to watch high quality video online? You wanna know lazy? How about spending R&D money to give the public an oversized, overpriced iPod Touch. Yeah that’s lazy. You wanna know lazy? It took them 3 years to add MMS to the iPhone. 3 years ago I could buy a $20 phone at the grocery store that supported MMS. Was Apple’s head up their corporate asses or did they purposely not give us a feature that pretty much all cell phones have had for years?

Apple is pretty much the laughing stock of the industry right now. They just took 4 steps back as far as I’m concerned. Everyone that buys an iPad will be walking around with a huge brushed metal scarlet letter on their chest. The base model $500 iPad has 16gb of memory, no camera, no expandable memory or SD card slot. A 3G model will be out 30 days after the wifi model and will run you even more money. I like the no contract data plan but it’s just not enough. I think that fans wanted this tablet so much that Apple had to deliver something. The problem is that they had no idea what to do and based their whole design off of an artist rendering found on the internet.

Well the new iPad will start at $499 for the base 16gb model. This is great news for true geeks that want a reason to laugh at die hard Apple fanboys. Whenever you see somebody with one of these, just smile at them.

Looks like the iPad was announced today. Think of it as a tablet sized iPhone without the phone features…wait…a tablet sized iTouch. Yeah that’s better. I can’t wait to see pricing on this thing.

I’ve been using iTunes for years. Once it was available for Windows I jumped at the opportunity to use it. I loved the interface and the organizational tools. It gave me a reason to start purchasing music online with the iTunes store, which was a welcomed alternative to buying plastic CD’s. After realizing that the iTunes store deleted songs that I owned off of my hard drive, I left Apple for my new love, Amazon.com. Read the rest of this entry »
