This.
I'm all about fun, pointless apps that just let you waste time for hours on end, but he's got a point. Apps are going to come in left and right that are just, overtly DUMB. And when it happens, I can't wait to hear the faint giggle of Steve Jobs sitting in his office as the blogosphere starts to erupt "what's the deal with all of these dumb applications??"
The general population has a seemingly insatiable appetite for dumb shit
Furthermore, this made me chuckle because the first two comments validate the sentence so easily.
- callmeed 18y agoHave you browsed a magazine rack or TV listings lately? Most of it is pretty far from intellectually stimulating. What makes the app store "sacred ground"? If there's a market for dumb stuff, let people sell it. If it's both dumb and unwanted, then it should get buried at the bottom soon enough.
