Let's look at the big picture!
Guys, let's put this into perspective.
What Apple has unleashed today is truly the revolution it is hyped up to be.
Realistically, I'm not the kind of user who would be attracted by this machine (except that it looks very cool), but I'm a professional user.
Big picture:
There is absolutely NO other manufacturer, XPiece of crap or not, that is thinking this way.
We are witnessing an historical shift, and our beloved Apple is at the heart of it. That shift is away from the mentality of "it's a computer, I need to expand the snot out of it, make sure everybody knows my MHz rating, and generally geek out". This is the WRONG way to think, Steve sees the future WAY BETTER than we do.
Don't think of it as a computer, think of it as the real future of the digital lifestyle (stolen from Steve, but totally true). Apple is lightyears ahead of beige cases, dumb buttons that say "go to the internet" and so on.
Can you imagine this future? Tis a future of homes where you use your computer as a natural part of your appliances...just like you would your toaster, TV, and so on. It is a future where the computer has a REAL PURPOSE in the home.
In short, it's a revolution. I'm disappointed by those of you who don't see it that way. We should all rejoice that Apple even THINKS about this future. Screw Gig this and Ghz that...it DOESN'T MATTER! It's what we do with our computers and how they FIT OUR LIFE that matters. Not just to those of us who use computers on the job, but to those out there who don't.
This is every bit as important as the LISA or the 1984 Macintosh. Think about it. It changes everything.
I mean, damn! A computer that RECOGNIZES a camera when it sees it? That's incredible!
OPEN YOUR EYES!
Good work, Steve. Innovate on, we're still here. 95% to go.
