how often do you think people who work at Apple want to son him but they can't since they still work there

Trying to describe the difference in usability between the iPad Air and its predecessors is an exercise which puts my wordsmithing skills to the test.

This paragraph strikes me as the central thesis of the entire memo. In a nut, it’s a sincere version of “Don’t be evil.”
*barf*

Some Classic Claim Chowdhry ★So much to choose from, but here’s a good one from 2009:
Investors should not think the upcoming version of iPhone 3 is going to be as successful as iPhone 2.0 because it will have solid competition from Palm Pre, developed by ex-Apple designer Jon Rubinstein.
Palm Pre has a superior operating system than iPhone. It runs on a better network — Sprint CDMA — versus iPhone which runs on GSM.
I mean, obviously, the original assertion was comical, but dragging up things in 2014 that someone said on the internet in 2009 is a deeply, deeply vindictive and fearful tactic often rooted in deep personal insecurity. If this guy was a co-worker I'd steer around him.

in general it seems like the book isn't worth it. wish she'd distilled the new info into a solid article or something though.
check out yesterday's wsj piece about the original iphone. i'll see if i can find a link for slock so he odesn't need to take any time away from youtube

markers, you're sounding disturbingly like one of those dudes who posts to fan sites for anime or w/e who think somebody else is a moron for not remembering which episode of Sailor Moon involved some incident

and the tone was just returning the volley. anyway if i'm being an apple defender here ok but i'm not even sure i am really but who knows
i don't think apple is fucked
― markers, Thursday, 27 March 2014 01:50 (ten years ago) link
assuming that we would know the significance of that post in relation to apple historythat we would know what 9to5 mac is, probably a blog or something?that we want to go to some other site to read about what is probably a passing anecdote
― have a nice blood/orange bitters cocktail (mh), Thursday, 27 March 2014 01:52 (ten years ago) link
well the first thing was just in the news, it's not old. i'm surprised you're not aware of the second, at least due to mark gurman's scoops, but i guess i could be super down the rabbit hole here. lastly, you guys do spend a lot of time talking about fedoras and other useless shit, so i'm sorry you wouldn't want to spend two seconds on this
― markers, Thursday, 27 March 2014 01:54 (ten years ago) link
and yes, this also qualifies as useless shit.
anyway, we're friends, lets not fight
― markers, Thursday, 27 March 2014 01:55 (ten years ago) link
I have read a lot of random apple stuff in my day but I have no idea who mark gurman is, as far as data points go
I'd say that crafting a cool post tying that anecdote in would be neat!
― have a nice blood/orange bitters cocktail (mh), Thursday, 27 March 2014 01:56 (ten years ago) link
he broke the healthbook stuff the other week and has a lot of other apple scoops. sorry, i guess i really *am* down in a rabbit hole here, even in respect to you guys. i should probably spend less time following the minutae on twitter and elsewhere, but for now and the past couple years i really have, at the expense of other interests too

i read gil amelio's memoir last year ffs
all im saying markers is "go look up a blog post" is a bad look, why not just post a link to it if you really think its that interesting
