Just an old fart who thinks Macs should be Macs. Simply the best computers in the world, with the best OS on them.
Apple forgot that. Spreading from phones to tunes like butter over too much bread. Messing up quality. Getting infected with the WIntel virus. Shipping beta software. Losing apple keys on their way...
Guess someone has to remind them: Macs First. OK?
iPhone Beta Testers. Why unhappy?

What's up folks?
To be honest, I have a big fat mean smile on my face.
Started yesterday evening (my time), when El Jobso was getting closer to the great joke about this "hot" whatshername singer and in a sidenote revealed a 200$ price drop on the 8GB iPhone.
I was waiting for the outcry, the protestors, the REVOLUTION in the Apple universe. You have not disappointed me.
When Apple cancels a symbol, like the Apple on the Apple key, most of you "have no strong feelings about this", like Walt Moron Mossberg.
But when it comes to 200 bucks of their precious MONEY they happily gave away just days ago, folks go nuts.
What's the deal? You wanted to be cool, you wanted to be hip, you wanted to be the first. And you were. Some even more funny people applauded and envied you. You had your show.
Now its over.
I always felt that this hyped-up over-featured phone was some polished brick I would not touch before the second or third generation. And I thought it was WAY overprized.
Sometimes I hate to be right. Sometimes not.
This time I just have to smile.
Calm down. Think again.
You had your six weeks of feeling proud and edgy.
This phone was WORTH it's outrageous price to you, otherwise you would not have bought it, right?
Is it worth less to you now?
Take responsibility for your feelings, your actions, your vanity and your greed.
If you love your Precious, it does not matter if other value it less.
