[Jim Giberti] “Allow me to summarize.
Anyone who likes the program also likes Kool-aid a lot
Anyone who doesn’t like the program eats gruel from wooden bowls.
The rest is just a bunch of boring technical stuff”
Nicely Said…But I enjoy My bowl of Gruel….

[Jamie Franklin] “The hard ware is probably next. They are just lucky their products can perform even in the laptop level today to meet professional needs. But now the price doesn’t justify their deceptions and discontent they have shown the professional user base they were happy enough to spooge off branding their products for years…”
Couldn’t Agree more…After Lions release its CLEAR where Apple is heading, NO more Desktops, Imacs or laptops, Just, iTV, ipad,iPhone, and iFridge…..
[Jamie Franklin] “Randy should be fired” /agree

A bit too flawed in my estimation because of the use of two “old school” references trying to describe two things neither one of which is essentially “old school.”
Perhaps…
Anyone who likes the program also likes Sushi a lot.
Anyone who doesn’t like the program likes Steak a lot.
Both are rational choices. Both will keep them from hunger.
But they approach the issue of “feeding” people from very different perspectives.
Yes, it’s lame, but I think closer to accurate than the original.
YMMV.

Sorry Bill, I forgot to mention the people who over-think things.

I could start a list…
Because you want to signal an existing base that something they love IS changing…
Because you don’t want to double- answer questions about what will happen to an old thing AND a new thing simultaneously…
Because you already own lots and lots of perfectly defensible IP under the old brand…
Because you don’t have to change the engineering teams’ business cards… (yes haters, this one’s a joke.)
Because while you will damage a lot of “good will” in a particular segment of the market – the counterbalancing good will the brand brings to the new product is perceived as solving more problems for the overall enterprise than it creates….
I can go on and on, but it’s all pure speculation.
Heck, maybe it’s because mighty Apple is just like the rest of us, searched a hundred alternate names and discovered that ALL of those names were already grabbed up by domain squatters…
(yes, that too was a joke.)The truth is that we’re OUTSIDE. So we will likely never get an INSIDE view unless someone on the team writes a book – and then we’ll only get their view.
Such is modern life.

Yeah, you’re correct.
I stopped writing my magazine column years ago, and sometimes it’s almost like I’m compelled to type even when I don’t have a real reason to.
Personal flaw I’ll readily admit to.
But also, it’s a personal habit that when I see an endless steam of thinking in one direction, like lots of people, I try to see if there’s another view worth articulating.
Contrarianism?
Probably.
And not meant to be personal at all.
Peace.

“LOL. Well, you got me there. Of course, I’m very fond of tempura and teriyaki, so that moves me at least a little more to the middle.

I’m with ya Bill.
As a creative director and head writer I’ve spent a career either critiquing or defending ideas.But I wasn’t going in any one direction. To the contrary, I was taking the middle road.
Besides, using your metaphorical standards, meat and fish have been around a bit longer than flavored drink mixes.

I would kill to read that book.
I would quietly kill a cat to read that book – humanly – but, for the pages, I think.. I would kill that cat.
