Bill, don’t listen to it. We don’t need a new Macintosh Computer
This week at PCmag.com I run my photo essay of the Macworld Show. In the process of making the photos I ran some plug-n-filters including the reality distortion field removal filter.
I began by wondering why this huge crowd was so mesmerized in the Apple booth.
It was a lame demo of some rather tame photo editing software. Or so I thought.
Here is the real image after running the reality distortion removal filter. My goodness!
Slow news day, I take it?
This is deeply funny! Thank you.
My god Dvorak, you have uncovered the iGod….
Listening to Engadget’s broadcast of Steve’s keynote, I must say it was 70% BS. Who are these people, giving a standing ovation for video editing software that can add a background track? “Wow Steve, will it let me render to quicktime, too? That’s so innovative!” These people actually clapped when he said that he’s charging $50 to upgrade your software for native running verions.

That’s hilarious! They must have implants going into their brain, feeding them a load of instructions transmitted by controllers, who mostly command the audience to give standing ovations. Either that or they’re just a bunch of sheep.
paralleljohnny: You have to realize that many of the software cost hundreds of dollars and when Apple lets you pay just $50 to update it, that is cheap. Its like as if you moved from Windows to OS X and Microsoft offered that you could pay only $50 to change your Windows Office disc to a Mac Office disc. Many companies simply say “Pay full”.
That’s funny!

Not really, you see there’s a choice in that, here you’re talking about peoples current applications and hardware having become legacy overnight. It’s easy to say “well you gotta pay something” which I agree with, but it certainly isn’t worth a standing ovation or even a clap – a simple “well that’s ok then” would have sufficed. It’s the mentality of the Apple Cult that makes me laugh, I think they would give Jobs a standing ovation if he just walked onto the stage, grabbed a mic and farted into it quite frankly. Plus he is only talking Apple products surely, I mean he can’t possibly guarentee that 3rd party developers are gonna agree to a flat upgrade fee for their development costs, unless Apple are gonna subsidise them..
Funny and insightful…
Speaking of which… what happened to Triangulations? DO MORE OF THEM! Who cares what the critics say, who cares if it’s a new, untested formula, who care s if it needs to be tweaked – that’ll come with experience, not reflexion and meditation!
BRING BACK TRIANGULATIONS! Or else you do a podcast! But you’re better when you’re going up against somebody else 🙂
