It's interesting that the author just assumed Apple didn't do this, even going so far as writing a public letter to the CEO without doing a basic web search first.
- njloof 15y agoTime for the author to write another letter complimenting Apple on implementing his idea.
- protomyth 15y agoQuite a lot of people seem to believe if they haven't personally heard about something, then it is not happening. It seems quite a lot of those same people like to write letters to important people expressing their ignorance. It does provide an interesting case for the whole Wisdom vs Intelligence debate.
- joezydeco 15y agoI think it's just something that has to become part of your nature given enough time and experience. These days, however, the tools are much better and orders of magnitude easier. It's pretty easy to throw a phrase into Google and see what comes out. It never used to be this way. I joke around but it pretty much verifies a rule I have these days: New Ideas are Rare. If you've thought of it, chances are that someone else has already thought of it and it's on the internet.
