Hi,
I have been thinking about the attack on Charlie Hebdo and attacks on people saying their piece. I stand in solidarity with the writers and cartoonists but I don't share their talent in graphics. I also think that the Islamic bear is being poked enough right now, but there are other "holy cows" out there that need poking and I think that there is enough much room to poke things in the technology industry.
Of course there will be some easy targets and the fanbois of those targets will get upset and that is OK, preferred even and hopefully they will respond with words and argument rather than threats and bullets. I also hope to make this into a series, if I remember and no-one guns me down in the street.
Lets start this off with everyone's favorite half eaten fruit, The red delicious of computers, Apple.
The maker of the PC that runs the prettiest version of Unix, the Macintosh.
This is a company that so reveres it's founder that when he bit an apple, it tasted bad, he threw away the apple and they made the logo from it. Lucky for us not the piece he bit out of it. Just think, if he liked the apple their logo would be just the core.
Apple has always been the company that makes the simplest easiest to use computers and over charging for them. They even had mice before Microsoft did but like every thing else they made, simplified for easy use by say, bloggers, so only has one button. Maybe Apple users can only handle one button, I'm not sure.
Apple also makes the iPod, a really good easy to use, over priced, MP3 player, and the iPhone a really good easy to use, over priced, MP3 player, with an add-on cell phone, and the iPad, a really good easy to use, over priced, MP3 player with a big screen.
Steve Jobs made a huge impact in the PC world in so many ways, pioneering many different things both at Apple and for the period he was away from Apple that I for one am very happy he did create computers and software and the devices he made. But it's still fun to poke fun at the company he made.
Assimilation over Evolution, you will be Assimilated!
This is my journey from human to Borg and you are invited along for the ride.
