You mean besides fitting ten CD cases worth of music into something that fit in your pocket? What a silly argument.

You mean besides fitting ten CD cases worth of music into something that fit in your pocket? What a silly argument.
- palish 19y agoWe're talking focus. The iPod wasn't especially innovative, but it was extremely focused on exactly one thing: playing music. And that focus was executed perfectly. Having an extremely narrow focus isn't a bad thing, so to use the statement "it doesn't do much" to suggest that Jottit a bad product seems weak.
- rms 19y agoand the iPod was the first hard drive based MP3 player to use the new 1.8" hard drive.
- thomasptacek 19y agoAll due respect to aaronsw, but, the iPod's "one feature" was EXTREMELY FUCKING IMPRESSIVE. Help me understand what's impressive about this site, other than that it still has me talking about it hours after its launch?
- palish 19y agoI said exactly one thing: Suggesting "a product has a narrow focus" == "a product is bad" is lame. I didn't compare Jottit to the iPod, I compared the number of features. There's a subtle difference. Also, sorry for the 'hominem, but it's people like you that turned Reddit into Digg. Keep your fucking language clean, your caps lock off, and your rhetorical questions to yourself, or get out. This is not Slashdot. It's really sad that you act like a total troll since you're an excellent hacker, judging by http://www.matasano.com/log/thomas-ptacek http://www.matasano.com/log/thomas-ptacek I know you have more to contribute to News.YC than your ego and your snarky remarks. Try harder.
- thomasptacek 19y agoGrow up. You compared Jottit to the iPod. Ludicrous.
- rms 19y agoWhy can't we all just get along? This argument is about nothing. Jottit doesn't have to be the greatest thing since the iPod. Aaron doesn't need the money and he wanted to do something with his code wizardry. Here we are.
- thomasptacek 19y agoI apologize.
