This is ridiculous. The article spends 9/10ths of it explaining the current video infrastructure, then takes one paragraph to say "Apple has to create a youtube killer. Expect it to be called iVideo and unveiled at WWDC."
Maybe this guy has sources he doesn't want to burn, and he wants to be able to point out that he was right, but for us readers, the people the guy should be writing for, he's burning us w/ conjecture and a story about the recent changes in video, not about the future.
- esmevane 16y agoAlso, why does everything get called a "Killer"? Not only is the terminology getting beaten into the ground (see "solution" in the early 2000s), it's rapidly becoming associated with products that are flat, and could never hope of dethroning the product they're supposed to rival.
- randall 16y agoHeadline-bloat. 'Killer' expresses a concept really quickly (ie this aims to displace that) which has some utility, but you're right, eventually it loses its actual meaning. Solution doesn't actually seem to have any real meaning, or at least the buzzword bingo quotient (see the new up-and-comer: Agile) makes any headline using it lose credibility.
