I'm not being sanctimonious about it

Made the oh-so-long drive from Denver to Boulder Saturday night to see the one, the only Janeane Garofalo. Just down from the Aspen Comedy festival, she rocked a full house. The worst part of course being a tie between a) some crazy chick approaching the stage and being very zombie-like in her declaration of love or something for said comedy star and b) the fact that we were in just about the last row of the theater and my glasses perscription being over 3-years old and me barely being able to recognize our beloved entertainer.

I guess YOU should be head of product development, then?

I love it when know-nothing people decide that they know far better what Apple should do than Apple itself. Regarding the iPod:


1. Put a 40-GB hard drive in it so it would have been head and shoulders above its numerous competitors.

2. Added AirPort wireless connectivity to it.

3. Included digital video features.

4. Made it PC-compatible.

5. Sold it for at least half the price.

Right. And they didn’t do this out-of-this-world stuff because it absolutely isn’t possible to do all this for half the price AND keep it about the size of a deck of fucking cards. Jesus. They could have done this, sure. But you would have had to wait like 5 or 6 years for it all and by then who knows where things will be and the iPod would be regarded as behind still.
