I just got an iPhone 3GS as a gift from my dad (maybe 2 weeks ago) and he refuses to return it for an iPhone 4 (I have the money). And my prom date just stood me up.
Week=terrible

I think Gretzky and Jobs own it, not us!
I just mentioned that it applies to the design too.
Which btw all these android pads are missing the point on. They can't match the build and quality at the price of the current ipad so they make a poor imitation with a faster processer at a higher cost.
why not look ahead? they are stuck with googles software but not their own design, make something jetsons looking, something cool on its own merits, something *gasp* girls might want then they could maybe compete on some other angle.
My point being they haven't even managed to match up with iPad and iPad2 is going to be announced today with if reports are true a third version later this year so how the hell can they catch up? They can't they've got to take a punt ahead.
I wonder if that's what MS is doing or if they are just really that clueless. Win 8 for tablets sounds, well, lame.
WebOS has a chance but they have announced something for 6 months away. Ipad 3 territory perhaps.
It's crazy, iPad has been in development since before iPhone, and these OEMS expect to match it in a year or so? Can't see it myself.
As for the playbook. Jeee-ZUS! You have to use a blackberry for email and calendar linked to it? RIM have announced not one, not two, not three but four versions and released a grand total of.....NONE.
So while I am doing a bit of a rant it is also quite lucky that Apple actually have innovation in their DNA. Or at least Jobs does. They keep revising and updating and iterating. Even software, we usually get at least one big upgrade and a couple little ones of our iOS devices then one that pushes the limits of the previous device power wise but by that time new devices are soooooo desirable.
Brilliant tactics of course for continued purchasing and some say they leave features out of version one on purpose to sell version two, the counter argument is they wait until a feature is absolutely perfect and essential before adding. They start from a perspective of 'what can we leave out of this device to simplify' where others start from 'what can we stuff into this?'.
That leads to fundamentally different approaches.
And a $300b company it seems.

I got fired this week.
Feel your pain.
My first thought upon being fired (they are paying me for 6 months so all is not that bad) was 'cool I can watch the keynote live if there's a stream'.
Fanboi? Moi? How very dare you.
If people understood this way of thinking there would be a lot more successful and paradigm shifting companies. But they are unable to see forward, so most businessmen think more along the lines of "if it's worked for someone else it will work for us" not realizing what worked was the originality of the idea. This applies to film, science, music, etc - not just tech and design fields. Sad but true. But all the replicas make the new ideas all that more impressive.
Actually its 2011
OMG! So it is.
What' happened??
I went to be last night and it was 2010!
LOL.
Edited accordingly.
**** I just got home from the bar and it's still not up? Looks like I'll be watching in the morning. Not as many spoiler free-ites this time round. Last year we were itching and squirming by this time, talking about old simpsons episodes and movies whatever to keep our mind off things.
Gotta admit it's tempting to take a peek. Where's my al anon coach?

The persistence till the end just makes it ridiculously hilarious.

Man, I'm living dangerously. I just ordered pizza online, and accidentally hit home first. Google page with all my feeds on. Gag. Managed to blur my eyes enough to to not read but not too much that I couldn't find the link.
Logged out of google then of course.
To be even more dangerous I just refreshed voidness's tab. Even though I shouldn't. Take THAT 'the man'!

I had to use dominos 'cos the locally owned one won't deliver and I'm too lazy today.
Their online tracker thing is awesome!
Come on Latisha! Don't be stingy with them mushrooms.
Latisha began custom making my pizza at 17:12 and it is in the oven by 17:16, efficient or suspiciously quick?

As a catalonian I'm supposed to be stylish? OK, thanks
And the snickers
Yes, as I was writing that I knew It wasn't right, but I didn't felt like going to the dictionary to check it out I can't believe what happened to me, I've heard a spoiler of the keynote during the news flash on the half time of the soccer match! and they only talk about the 4 or 5 biggest news of the day, come on! really? with all the things happening on the world? that was just to annoy me!
See you later
