I agree. Check this out: http://theregister.co.uk/content/39/34736.html
I think this guy is right about almost everything. I still think the 4Gb
iPod should be $149, but people are sheep and everyone loves Apple
products in fruity flavors, so they will probably sell a ton. Doesn't
change the fact that they are overpriced. The guy who wrote the article
is right: it was pointless to pitch supercomputers to a bunch of
consumers. The supercomputer nonsense should have been pushed at a
seminar like SIGGRAPH instead, where people need that kind of power (and
can afford it).
This is the second year in a row where StevieJ has pushed this music
crap. I, for one, don't care about Apple's music prowess. I am an artist
not a musician. This is the 20th anniversary of the Macintosh, and the
only thing they did to commemorate it was make a rehash of the original
commercial. That is not thinking differently.
Peace,
Nate
