Allright, I love the MAC. Ever since I’ve converted, I have found little or no reason to switch back to Windows. But at the same token, I refuse to be taken into the group of these Apple fanboy and fanatics who seem to thrive on every single news item that comes out of the infinite loop office. “Jobs took a leak today – Oh wow!!”, “Oh look, there’s a new shiny mouse that supports double click” and such.
One such stupid event happened yesterday. The topic, according to Jobs, updated iMacs.
I can’t fathom a reason why changing the color on a computer merits a full blown media event with almost every news worthy blog out there whoring over each detail. Real time photos must be provided, real time data must be presented, heck every single small quark must be deftly given to Apple fanboys to their appeasement. As far as I know this is what the whole media event was all about:
“Look Ma, the iMacs are in aluminum colors!!””
“I can split my iPhoto Library – oh wow!!!”
“Mac Minis get core 2 duos” (Oh wait, aren’t core 2 duos like, the norm these days? Whats new…)
“Look Ma, the iMac has a sleeker keyboard!”
“I can send movies to Youtube directly through iMovie – OMG – and get it on to my iPhone – OMG OMG!!”
And of the types – I fail to understand. What was this whole event about? Why such hype and hoopla over a change of color of an iMAC. Why so much fuss over minor updates to software?
Apple fanboys need to get a life! That said, I demand that Apple release a touch sensitive keyboard immediately!
