Apple Has Jumped the Shark
Sep. 10th, 2011 01:17 pmI love my Ipad and Iphone, but I think Apple is on its way down.
With the human urge to blame everything on heroes or villains, I'm sure people will say this is because they've lost Steve Jobs. I'm sure that doesn't help, but the real problem is they seem to have given up on innovation.
Notice that they now devote more effort into unfair, anti-competitive tactics than they do to new products. They are big into suing anyone and everyone over silly patents, such as the case in Germany where some idiot judge has apparently decided Apple holds the patent on the rectangle.
Notice also their much-anticipated new products. The iPad THREE. the iPhone FIVE. The iPod.. six or seven? The Mac, version 15 or 20? And at that, the iPhone is nothing but an iPod with cellular capacity added, and the iPad is just iPod Extra Large.
Oh, and they also had a huge media to-do about bringing out some of their products in white instead of black. Big whoop.
You read it here first.
