Re: Goodbye MacAddict It's true that without a Jobsian approach Apple could do stupid things like
- licensing FairPlay
- licensing OS X
- spewing out a huge number of products with crazy names like the "iMac 2751CX"
- renting songs and movies
- letting the iPod play WMA
- making a cheap tower that lets the user "expand" everything
- wasting money on "gamer" things that nobody would buy
- selling copies of Windows with the Mac hardware
- adding idiotic features like FM radio and dictation to the iPod
Any or all of which might be advocated by clueless executives who listen to people who have no idea what they are talking about.
And any or all of which would spiral Apple into red ink.
But hopefully Jobs has people ready to step in who aren't stupid enough to do those types of suicidal things.
The October financials are estimated to be stunning. Can't wait to see them. We already know they at least hit the estimates because they haven't warned. |

1 edit | said by Johnny:- adding idiotic features like FM radio and dictation to the iPod Actually, being able to record to the ipod would be nice. The iRiver is the choice for podcasters on the go because they can record into it and (assuming decent mics) get a good sound. Having the ipod able to do something similar would be a huge plus, IMO. |
