I was getting goosebumps while watching this incredible work of Kobi Shely - Director/Writer/Editor of very inspirational - maybe - movie MacHEADS.
Interesting and touching experience, but…
Once they moved into the ‘dark side’ of Apple, c’mon, give me a break!
What older Mac community does not realize is that the beige box they had on their desk, that changed their world, their way of thinking and inspired them for new, creative moves is now can fit in the pocket.
Sure Apple moved from making just computers, but they are still making computers: iPod - best musical player out there. I remember my days when I hated Windows Media Player and praised toWinAmp, iPod and iTunes have done even better. I remember when I’ve purchased my Philips DVD player because it can play Divx movies, so I can record 2-3 movies on a disc and watch it, rather than playing one per disk on my Sony player - Apple TV did the same (wvell in my case it’s MacMini - more storage with external drive, more flexibility with things like Sapphire and Plex). I loved Nokia phones and ease of using their interface - hated Ericsson and Sony, Samsung - garbage. iPhone won my heart in cell phone niche.
You ask me today if I would look at the kettle Apple designs, microwave Apple creates or car that Apple influenced - I will be more open to than Windows’ ‘whatever it’s called‘ thingy bob in Ford.
Seriously people, it’s not about computer on your desk anymore, it’s about computer at your life.
And secrecy behind Apple - go ahead, look at MS beta releases, preview versions and crappy outcome of it. Let professionals work out kinks and bugs, and let them release wow when it wows people, rather than saying: I had beta version a year ago.
Moral - simple. If you want something that works without making it into cult or religion - at the end, computers is a tool, not your best friend, stick with what really works (psst, buy a Mac and get real friends, who have names, not nicknames)
All for now, cheers!
