Newsweek's Dan Lyons says the Macintosh is DEAD...

Steve Jobs' terse reply: "Completely wrong. Just wait." PING!

Newsweek says the Mac is Dead!

The Mac is dead says the Mummy...

Apple sucks! Oh, wait, no, it’s Microsoft that sucks. Or is it Google? I’m confused.

Heck no!

Apple Machintosh is still alive and active!

I should know, I am using one right now!

As one Mark Twain was famous to say,

“the annoucement of my death was a bit premature”.

RIP, Macintosh—Is Apple ignoring its signature line of computers and laptops? Yup.

FUD from Danny Boy? There were major improvements within this past year.

They’ve never really “got” Jobs nor Apple. They still don’t. Might there come a day, when there is no longer a visible, big honking desktop “tower?” Yes, of course. We’re almost there now. Elegant minimalism has long been the guiding philosophy.

Does that mean no more Macs? No, it doesn’t. Not by a long shot.

This article makes little sense.

First, a lot of the things does with an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (e.g. iTunes) really require a Mac or Windows PC.

The Mac handles these functions better than Windows boxes. Apple apps on Windows are typically bloated and clunky (e.g. Quicktime).

We are at a point in PC desktop hardware, where other than processors getting faster, little earth-shaking stuff is going on. The industry is relatively stable. The current Apple lineup remains competitive although pricey.

Apple has already narrowed the Mac product line. The results are a better Mac. Gone are the GM style lineups (Performas, LCs) that made Apple look like a GM style company with 5% market share (thanks Spindler and Amelio).

Apple has gotten OUT of the printer business (remember where anything but an Imagewriter or Laserwriter on a Mac was considered avant-garde?). No more little Appletalk boxes. Etc. Dropping these entire lines has made Apple a better computer company, and has not signaled a weakening commitment.

That leaves OS X development. Because a subset of OS X is the heart of the iPxd/iPhone lineups, that will be serviced.

Daniel Lyons? I’d almost forgotten about this fraud.

He does have one saving grace though. After four years as an SCO cheerleader he finally admitted he was wrong.

I thought this was just more Apple bashing and then I read this line "ads like some ugly stock car circling a NASCAR track?" and now he has a price on his flat head!!!

Tomorrow!
Big things are happening RIGHT NOW at Valve. Things involving cultivated tree-fruit. BIG things. Things that rhyme with "grapple." Things that rhyme with "Speem Gortress zmavailable on the Babac."

Not today. But tomorrow. BIG THINGS. Stay tuned...
