Ever notice that the anti-Mac crowd is a lot more vocal, than the pro-Mac crowd?

To quote Tom Clancy “Never ask a man what kind of computer another man uses. If he uses a Mac, he’ll tell you. If he doesn’t mention it, why make him feel bad”.

It simply works ...

Another Apple v. Whatever thread? Sigh. I liken these arguments to Ford v. Chevy v. Dodge. What does it matter? Get what you like ... something that works for you ... and forget the rest. No need to argue.

My daughter, grandson, granddaughter and I all have Ipads. We are very, very happy with them. I have a fairly new desktop and laptop but I use the iPad more than the other 2 put together. My 2 great granddaughters have games on my daughter’s and they are learning so much on it. They are 3 and 2. I was with the 2 year old last week and I could not get over how very smart she is. The 3 year old is the same way. My daughter’s friends will not allow their kids to even touch theirs which is a huge mistake.

Joe Wilcox claims he lost his enthusiasm for Apple now that Steve Jobs has left, and has rediscovered the Joy of Windows computers and Anfroid phones!—but some how he had this epiphany BEFORE Steve Jobs left, and it ignores the fact that he's been a nay-sayer about Apple throughout his career! Amazing!—PING!


Pundit claims he's lost his enthusiasm for Apple!

I think this person was much more attached to Steve Jobs than he was to Apple tech.

In my opinion Apple the company has absorbed the lessons of how simplicity and elegance can lead to success and premier tech products.

Apple and its products will be a fine legacy for Steve Jobs for decades to come. In fact perhaps his letting go will be a good thing, and allow Apple to release products to fill obvious gaps in its lineup.

A prosumer mini-tower desktop, for instance. ;-)

I feel the exact same way. With Steve Jobs out the thrill is gone. Apple will be just like a Hewlett Packard or Dell clone. I don’t own any Apple products (rip off prices) but I’m in mourning and the thrill is definitely gone without Chairman Steve leading this Cupertino gang

In other news, I’m writing my first iOS app right now. Objective C isn’t the greatest language, but he standard libraries and the way to work data with the UI is awesome.

This guy makes no sense to me. Why would anyone care who heads up a company? Does the equipment work the way you want it to work or not? Does it do the job better than others, or not?
