Dose Steve Jobs Hate Computers?
As everyone is in iPad frenzy right now, I thought I would post my 2 cents. Now, I am not a fan of Apple by any sense of the word, but Jobs and Company make very good if not excellent products, I’m just not sure they meet my criteria of a computer.
When you look at the most recent product lines such as the iPod Touch, iPhone and now the iPad, these may fall into the Internet Appliance category more than a computer category. Part of this is that all of these products are extremely restrictive by design. This is not a bad thing, necessarily, as there is a segment of the market who are perfectly happy with this concept.
I view this somewhat like the car enthusiast, where they want to maintain and tweak their machine to their particular liking and push the envelope on what it can do. In this case, otherwise know as Geek’s or Technology enthusiasts.
Apple is about control. Steve wants you to use his devices the way he perceives the devices should be used. There is nothing wrong with this concept as there are plenty of consumers who just want a device that works and has no desire to look under the hood. I am just not sure these latest devices fall under the definition of Computers, they seem more like Internet Appliances.
For me, when it comes to a phone, you can read my post: My Perfect Mobile Device. As far as computing, I will stick with my laptop running Windows 7. I just cant help it, I like to look under the hood and get my hands dirty.
Now we sit back and watch all of the Android and Windows tablets hit the market. Thanks for the innovation Steve.
Well if you’re going to use Windows 7 your hands are going to be dirty most of the time ;o)
y’know I totally got a free ipad here: FREE iPad! here.
As a rule, we dont delete comments, even though this comes very close. It has been my experience that there is no such thing as Free merchandise. I have found that by the time you get done signing up for all of the sponsor offers, it would have been cheaper to purchase the product outright.
For once I find something useful

This was really interesting, with most of the credit to you the editor. Would love to hear more about this from you. If you would not mind would you email me, I believe you have my email with this comment and we can talk that would be awesome. Thank you so much look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for writing about a very relevant topic. Most tenderfoot entrepreneurs nowadays promote and offer and sell whatever they can without even having a concrete idea of what things to prioritize. Keep them coming!

I had been recently shopping around everywhere for the actual genuine back pain relief program though experienced incredible difficulty getting it. Ultimately I unearthed the top tailbone back pain blog which probably was just about all I was in need of! .. Back Pain Above Tailbone

Glad to see that this site works well on my Blackberry Bold, everything I want to do is functional. Thanks for keeping it up to date with the latest.
After reading a few of your posts I must say i found this specific one to generally be really good. I have a blogging site as well and would choose to repost some snips of your articles in my blog website. Would it be alright if I use this as long I reference your site or build a backlink to your article I took the snip from? If not I recognize and would never do it with out your authorization . I have book marked this particular article to twitter along with myspace account intended for reference. Anyhow thank you either way!
