An Atypical Life

People seem to have gone nuts over this new phone thing from Apple. I am not really getting it - it’s a convergence device, sure, but I don’t see anything revolutionary, except perhaps the multifinger touchscreen, and the fact that it’s an ultraportable running OSX. I’ll avoid listing the positives and negatives in detail, because everyone else already has done….

I wanted to remind people of what innovation from Steve Jobs & his crew used to look like…and also a poignant reminder of the fact that these keynote addresses are about 20% technology, 80% showmanship.

Oh, and Woz, if you’re out there reading this, Apple ][ Forever! ;)
