Caption Competition 2:27pm on 22 May 2008 Back to work? ....but he hasn't told us our coffee-break is over!!
Bright future predicted for Apple 1:30pm on 22 May 2008 always the same negativity, always the same ill-informed people dismissing Apple out-of-hand!
Why? What is wrong with a company that is aggressively promoting open standards?
rather than follow the herd, and just buy what everyone else buys, why not buy something that 'does what it says on the tin' without having to reach for a manual every time?
Apple devices DO look cool, and have a good UI. but they also WORK first time too! - what is wrong with that?
pop into your local PC shop, and try to get an all-in-one windows PC with all the same features an an iMac, without paying more for the privilege.
(check one of the main-brand online stores, if you haven't looked recently..)
And as for 'openness' on music tracks - it's the music companies, not Apple, who are restricting their sales by insisting on DRM, whilst they then allow companies like Napster to sell the same tracks AT THE SAME PRICE without DRM.
Unfair marketing practices? - who can say, but it's also unfair to blame Apple for it - especially after all they have done to create a revenue-stream for the music corporates.
