seriously, this is front-page "news"? geez, will every response by steve become a headliner? tell us something we don't know...
 
Promises are cheap, especially when there's no punishment for not keeping them. And with every new "sent from my iPhone" mail that's being published I more and more believe that Apple is run by a five-year old megalomanic.


No surprise at all someone like you would believe that.
 
Why would anyone email that to Steve Jobs? Do people have nothing better to do than waste his time?
 
Is nobody else thinking this beef between Apple and Google is contrived to keep the Antitrust groups off their backs?

All this scrapping between them seemed to kick off almost overnight as they had spent many years coexisting peacefully. Jobs and Schmidt still meet up in public places. It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me at all...


Yep. Great theater.
 
Which will (if history is a guide) get 2.5 hours of battery life running that Flash and get hot enough to fry an egg on. :rolleyes:

...

Can you people stop with this stupid battery banter?

All video is tough on battery life. So why not ban all video?

Even if we take your assertion of 2.5 hours at face value, this is still one whole movie I can watch, instead of staring at a blue lego piece.

And this Brian Webster thing is just too dumb to be a lie - the man is as eloquent as a ghetto 10-year old. He didn't like what Google said at the I/O?! Did he hear what Jobs has been spewing in the past few months?

Anyway, the answer is canned and meaningless, and most likely from the graveyard-shift secretary. And Mac Rumors is starting to lose credibility.
 
I kinda enjoyed the email. It's just a huge Apple fan saying "Google has really been doing some smack talking at their IO conference. Hope you've got something in your back pocket".

Yeah that is exactly what it was. Thanks.

Agree with you re iPhone and Android. Android is for tinkerers who don't care about design. Said as much in my twitter feed last week when I was using an Android device exclusively for a week (although I only lasted a few days before I had to go back to iPhone!)
 
The potential Apple TV has is unreal. I don't know why they don't do so, so much more with it. A revamped version with bigger HD (although we get so much from streaming now), better processor (for 1080p), etc would be enough for me to get one. Until then I live in quiet anticipation of the Boxee Box.

Yo bitch u spelt my name wrong :p

Also I think it was lunch time in the states when the reply came back. He was probably on the toilet.
 
mobile me will become a free service...and wifi sync with itunes will be enabled. i think apple has to move forcefully into cloud-based services. they may not be the best at it, but it needs to be something they do. the days of tethering via usb to a mac should be going away...soon.
 
Apple better figure out how not to suck at cloud services - even free MobileMe would be weak.

if apple figures out the cloud then it would be over until google struck back.. thats all apple is missing and with data center being built i see them taking care of that issue
 
The following will be announced at wwdc:

- iPhone os 4.0 immediately for iPhone, and later for iPad, both free;

- free MobileMe for all, premium version with other features;

- iTunes streaming;

- new iPhone with better camera, more memory and faster proc;

- new versions of pro apps and autocad announcement;

- quiet refresh of macpros;

- zero news about other macs.
 
Why would anyone think it's okay to curse in an email to a commercial address. To friends or family, sure. But in this instance it just seems like such a white trash thing to do. NO I'm not some holy roller who never curses. I do, but never in a professional setting like this.

As for the content, I think we all knew and now know that big things are coming every year in June.

I agree with you.

They know that there is enough for the two of them, and they'll endup up with a dualopoly... Every one elese mere peons in the game...

hmm, not sure how one does a "quiet refresh" via an announcement...

Not necessarily true. I can still get 10 full hours of battery life on iPad watching videos the entire time (same as if I were web surfing or word processing or playing games or anything else), and the Netflix and ABC streaming apps don't seem to drain it any faster (although I haven't run a full battery charge on these).

Adobe keeps promising this mobile Flash that's going to solve all the problems with battery consumption, heat, and crashiness, but they've been promising it for years now and still haven't delivered it.

Even if we take your assertion of 2.5 hours at face value, this is still one whole movie I can watch, instead of staring at a blue lego piece.

Fair enough. But I think it's also fair to say you're free to buy another device/OS if you need Flash that badly, Apple's quite clear about that, they're convinced most people won't care enough to hurt their sales.
 
Cool. Now I can repost :)

For those of you who still think that Google is the evil empire, only copies Apple, and aren't innovative, take a look at the keynote from day one (not the one exclusively about Android). For anyone else, take a lot at it anyway. It's available at http://www.youtube.com/googledevelopers#p/c/02292AD8CFFE1349

If I'm to summarize it (it's quite long), the message is this: Anything you'd have to use native apps for now and in the past (like on the iPhone) you can soon do on the web using Javascript, HTML5, and a number of other technologies (not excluding Flash). Google, Spring, VMWare etc. will provide you with great tools and platforms to do it. Anyone can write these tools as most of it is based on open standards and open source.

If you're a developer, take a look from part 9 and prepare to be wowed. For me, I'm especially excited about the GWT stuff and have been since Google released 2.0 last december.

This keynote encapsulates a lot of what Google is actually doing as opposed to what you might think they're doing. Note that this in no way excludes Apple's devices, and you'll see both Macs and iPads on the stage.

i enjoy most of your posts. they are not over the top like most i read. my answers are in bold.
 
If Jobs is replying to so many mails like this, he's also aware of the press publication of and concerned about the response to his mails. So: hi, Steve; what's on your mind?
