Ken Segall's The ever-arrogant  + TMW's Antennagate





Ken Segall:




This company was practically founded on arrogance. Imagine, two guys in a garage thinking they could out-compute companies like IBM and HP. In later years, they’d tell us to abandon the standard PC interface and use some silly mouse to control our computers. With smug superiority, they’d cut out the floppy disk we’d come to love. Errgh.

If only we thought to stop them then.







The Macalope Weekly: Antennagate



One wonders how the Bertoluccis and Lyons of the world explain the conundrum that if you want to buy this tragically flawed phone you have to wait longer than it takes to get a machine gun.

Probably involves the words “reality distortion field.”



Why is it Apple that’s always expected to conform to some magical set of rules other companies need not pay attention to?

That’s a rhetorical question, by the way. The Macalope’s painfully aware there’s a double-standard when dealing with Apple. It’s his raison d’être.
