What I love and hate about Apple
June 11, 2008 //
In short, I love Apple products. I hate Apple corporate attitude.
Why I love Apple products
mobileme, Apple’s rebrand of .mac is truly remarkable. It appitmises epitomizes everything about its products. They just work. They’re extremely easy to use and interoperability between each product is seamless. (mobileme is a simple way to keep your office/home computers and iPhone synchronized all of the time.)
Check out the video demo of mobileme not only for insight to the service, but for the best explanation of ‘the cloud’ I have ever seen.
Why I hate Apple corporate attitude
Steve Clayton summed it up beautifully on Twitter by saying
if I go work for Apple this would be our last convesation. only one steve allowed to talk at Apple and it’s a 1 way convo! Check out his original message on Twitter.
This is extremely uncharacteristic of Steve. Every presentation I’ve seen him deliver includes plenty of Apple and Google slides. In fact, he uses Apple iTunes as a way of explaining in plain English, what the long tail means. Have you ever witnessed employees at either Apple or Google say anything positive about Microsoft, let alone use its products in a presentation to demonstrate a point.

@slothrop - thanks! If only I could spell. Who would have thought I’d have such intelligent people reading my ramblings
At least you’ll know that I’ve hired a blog-gimp when the writing is perfect.

The interoperability between Apple products and software is amazing! Well thought out and easy to use.

Clearly wasn't using MobileMe on launch…. It did NOT”just work”
… In short it was an unmittigrated disaster
