Not to bag on you, but this is exactly how apple comes out with a product that blows people away and reinvents itself. All the stuff you're thinking of is exactly the shit people said about the ipod and the iphone. Just because you can't imagine what they might do doesn't mean much. You're one person and they're a large number of people thinking much harder about it than you have any incentive to.
- mikeash 11y agoI can't fathom the point of this comment. Someone asked for opinions. I gave mine. You think I don't know I'm just one person and what I think doesn't count for much here?
- habitue 11y agoI wasnt taking issue with you giving your opinion, I was taking issue with the reasoning behind your opinion. Your comment amounts to "I have concluded they won't be able to do anything new. My reasoning is that I cant think of anything new they might do." "I can't think of anything" is a pretty poor reason to begin with, but the entire topic is something new they might do. Almost by definition, that hyoithetical new thing is going to entail something you haven't thought of. So "I can't think of anything" is even worse evidence in this case.
- mikeash 11y agoBefore, there were markets Apple might move into. For example, smartphones and tablets. And yes, this was seen as a possibility before the products in question were released. Now, I don't see anything similar. I don't know what kind of reasoning you expect beyond that. It's tough to prove a negative. I don't know why you take such issue with my opinion.
