OS X is easy to use ... compared to other PCs. But this thing is easy to use the way your car is easy to use.

- moron4hire 17y agoMy mother and grandmother would be insulted to be told that they need a "simpler" computer. This idea that regular computers are "too difficult" for "normal users" is nothing but pure condescension. Why should we believe that now, after all of the other "simplified computer for 'normal users'/internet appliance" devices to ever hit the market (including Apple's own AppleTV) that this one is going to make it?
- roc 17y agoIt's not about needing a simpler computer. It's about wanting one. Not all people; not even all mothers or grandmothers. And not all the time. The iPad has, in a sense, already made it. It, despite some people's protestations, is just a big iPod touch. Whether this form factor works or not, people have responded extremely well to its abstractions and simplifications, despite the limitations.
