There's been enough anti-MS commentary over the years. Now let's see if Google gets its comeuppance any time soon :)

Oh, its just the latest fashion amongst the digerati

to proclaim its the beginning of the end for Apple. OMG! Jason Calacanis gave up his iPhone in protest, did you hear? It all must have some deeper meaning, right? Let's all parse his statements to death on our blogs. And then more bloggers will comment on on our blog postds on their blogs and so on and so on and soon the whole thing seems like seismic shift to a very small number of people who all read each other's blogs.

But in the end these guys are all easily distracted. This anti-Apple meme will stick around until bigger, juicer news comes around.

Ain't that what you want. I suggest that you don't listen to TWIT because Leo has been hating on Apple and SnowLepard and has call this an upgrade and should be free check out TWIT 210 for his rant about why Snowlepard should be free and not cost $30.00 at all.

Better listen to Mac Break Weekly 156

When Leo came around based on the arguments that Alex Lindsay and Andy Inhatko so eloquently presented.

It's just Molly

Much prefer it when Tom and Tong talk about Apple, more objective.

Oh I love me some Molly

but she is a bit.. shall we say "hyperbolic" (and sometimes just downright reactionary) when it comes to her positions. The wild mood swings make for good theater though, which I guess is part of what podcasting really is about.

It's good for the fanboys though

They are the ones hurt most by the app store and other restrictions on iPhone. It's the fanboys who should actually be complaining most. I sure do.

Perhaps... but

Perhaps not an "Anti-Apple" turn but an "Anti-Company that doesn't allow for flexibility and demands their followers do things their way.. turn"

You don't need the Nano to take Pictures, just Video, or you can wait another year and your Nano will also take pictures because now it's ok too.

It's not just Apple either. There are numerous companies that do the same things. It's just Apple is low hanging fruit (pardon the pun).

About that one

by Nicholas Buenk - 9/21/09 6:21 PM In reply to: Perhaps... but by MagnumVP

The camera in the nano is only 0.3 megapixel, or 640x480. Apple doesn't want to put their brand name behind terrible quality pictures. It makes perfect sense.
