Why Apple's Distortion Field Works
nudone:
that serial rapist bit was classic. i knew i hated apple; and now, after reading Renegade's rant, i'm glad i can hate them even more.
Renegade, you should do a blog just ranting about Apple, if nothing else. I'm sure it would be a big hit. i'd love it.

Renegade, I still feel you were holding back.....you should tell us how you really feel....
BTW, you probably could have increased impact by increasing font to, say, 20 ?
;D
I really want to see when you get into:
<rant mode="NUCLEAR">
Mind you, I'm not sure I want to be in the same country.

Successful would be one thing. :up: ( stock price Nov 2003 = $9.85 Nov 2010 = $ 317.00 )
Sony invented the Walkman it was a success but not like the iPod is a success. And despite many attempts to copy the iPod nobody has done it
Apple didn't invent the cell phone but they made the iPhone, priced it higher than a kite and made it a success. Now everybody is making an " iPhone" with touch screens and apps. I mentioned the Tablet PC before, but only Apple has make it a success ( iPad )everyone else has failed.
Innovation is not only in the creation of a new and exciting product but the making the public think they need it. Apple seems to excel at the latter.

But I already have~!

That's my blog about transitioning to developing for Apple.
I must admit though, I have toned it down a massive amount. And I never really let loose all that much. Still, earlier posts contain a fair number of bloodthirsty rants. :)

That's the thing. Apple isn't a technology innovator in the least. They are a marketing/cult/desire/lust innovator that casts their dark magic over people. They fool people into believing that less is more. They pimp out other people's innovations, calling them their own and even "revolutionary", then demand fellatio from their followers.
Their ability to pimp out old news is godlike. (The desktop "app store" goes back to 1998, and Apple is calling it "revolutionary" now.)
I won't deny them the credit they deserve for their amazing ability to market their products. But I won't sit silent while they lie and try to take credit for other people's work. If this were school, they'd be expelled for plagiarism.

The thing is that it's got NOTHING to do with copying the technology or the interface or anything about "the product". It's all about copying the marketing and the ability to make people feel good about their purchases.
Business isn't about selling a good product. It's about making people buy your product and feel good about it. (THAT is pure truth.) I cannot emphasize that enough.

That's what Apple does well. They "get it".
They don't produce a superior product. They produce a product that makes you feel superior.
Ahem...
