I'll agree with the iTunes rant but the rest is pretty shallow. You can't call Apple the 'copycat' when their products are superior. And trying to compare MS tabletop UI to the iPhone is like amateur hour. We all know MS stole that UI from the Grad Student who's been showing off his touch interface on YouTube for 3 years. People hate MS because they are successful for making poor products. People hate Apple because they are successful for making great products and they aren't shy about flaunting it.
- aston 19y agoOn a semi-related aside, Microsoft has had that multitouch interface in the works for more than three years. I saw (touched) a productized version of it two years ago.
- Readmore 19y agoThat's interesting, I didn't realize that. I really like the tech, I would just rather have it on my coffee table than in a bar. I need to charge my friends for eating and drinking at my place ;)
- hello_moto 19y agoApple product is superior only from the outside. It's like this analogy: "Dumb hot blonde".
- mynameishere 19y agoAbout fifty people will downmod you for criticizing Apple. I, however, downmodded you for criticizing blondes.
- hello_moto 19y agoI wouldn't mind. It's the mentality of YCombinator's crowd (Apple, hate MS, hate features bloat, short-attention span) and I'm ready to be downmodded. Outside YCombinator's, tons of people would agree with me (and I've met some of them personally that share the same mentality). Some people just need to think (or look, or hear) outside the box perhaps?
