And faking being sick so he could clap at Apple marketing events. He kinda lost me there.
- RattlesnakeJake 7mo agoHe's looking back to a time when they were still special. When every keynote brought out a new, interesting product, feature, OS enhancement, etc. Back in the Steve Jobs era, it was still worth tuning in every year to see what was new.
- raincole 7mo agoThe whole article is about how Apple is still special just like when he was a kid. But anyway, I find it funny that author implies if a kid gets a MacBook Neo they will explore all the possibilities to use and customize it, but somehow the same kid won't try to push a Chromebook to its limit. It 100% matches my stereotype of how Apple fans view machines.
- creshal 7mo agoYeah, you'd find out about it all in the newspapers a few hours later, and none if it was "clap to yourself in an empty room" impressive anyway. I was around back then and I didn't feel the need to act like a drug addict whenever Steve Jobs opened his mouth.
- orsorna 7mo agoWere you a kid then too? :)
- criddell 7mo agoLighten up. He was a kid and he knows how silly that was.
- izacus 7mo agoIt's sick even if it was a kid. Being so brand washed should trigger a parent intervention.
