I knew there would be plenty of losers here making fun of Samsung, crying like babies because someone made fun of their favorite religion, I mean technology company.
They probably also cheered and howled just like the morons in attendance when the shocking announcement was made that both the iPhone 6 and 6+ are thinner than the 5c. I mean, come on, less than 1mm is worth mindless cheering? "Thinner" is about the only thing that Jony is good for so "thinner" was expected whether "thinner" was needed or not.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Macs, OSX and my iPhone. There all simply terrific products. Two MBPs, three minis, three iPhones and one MP since 2008 are my claim to fame. I will buy more of them, maybe even an iPhone 6+.
The excellent products in no way make up for the endless, overstated marketing bullsheet that Tim endlessly lisped his way through as if he was describing the second coming firsthand. The hubris and the arrogance were only slightly muted by the fact that the live streaming went so poorly.
That the streaming was all goofed up is not really a big deal at all. It's technology and sometimes it doesn't work very well. I don't not hold tech glitches against anybody.
But of course this is Apple, the get it right folks, the it just works gang. For that reason I really enjoyed trying to listen to Tim and his homies while simultaneously trying to not listen to the Asian audio translation bleeding in.
And I never knew what I was watching; right now?, ten minutes ago?, two minutes ago?, maybe from the future? Very exciting, avant-garde entertainment if you ask me.
It was hilarious and I commend Samsung for pouncing at the opportunity. For what it's worth Samsung is OK too. My HDTV and the monitor connected to my mini that I am writing this on are Samsung. Samsung is no match for Apple in some areas but they make some pretty good stuff.
