Down the line I think Apple has a game-changer, because they can smile I think the universe wants this to get over, because a lot of universes need it. Publishing certainly does - Newsday (which cost 650M to buy, certainly needs it, for they got a lousy 35 frigging subscribers over the past three months when they put up a pay wall smile . Google of course wins with anything that increases TCP/IP traffic. A lot of people win.

85% of print is erroneous and 99% of the internet is erroneous, and the internet is abyssmal because it's cheap or free to publish garbage, and everybody and their dog is enthusiastic to verify to the world how stupid they are smile . So, the iPad is a narcissist's wet dream, with a lot better killer interface to a CMF/CMS/scraper/blogger (or just 'comment' your stupidity) whatever front end, than a puny smartphone or a clutzy netbook whose friggin lid ya gotta flip up to spin up a head-crashable HDD from sleep (although most goons probably aren't aware of the headcrash susceptibility, but the wait time is a PITA).

So, whether you upload junk to download, or just download junk, the iPad seems a narcissist's wet dream.

The only thing that sucks, but I think the light of day will be seen, and Flash will die.

I don't really know about this thing, but I'd want real apps. Everything else I can do on the cloud (for mobile stuff), except for I'd like an outliner. Apple really hasn't gotten with the cloud, and really this is the ticket for them to get into the game that is going to be the big show. They really need cloud apps and maybe (not necessarily, with storage space) have it locally cache for offlining/whatever). Apps, they need killer apps, and not these toy jackoff things like on the iPhone - Lack of apps is what killed tablets all this time - They need apps, and they know how to do online apps. And it's in line with their money grubbing. It's about apps - Linux rules servers, but it'll never grab the desktop because it's not a real profitable business case to develop commercial apps for a constantly moving target - Apps is part of the iPhone success - It's about apps - It's always been about software.

I watched it on Reuters.com and they had interesting comments throughout.

they were disappointed in several things, and raved about others.

mixed bag, but the bottom line mostly positive.

Flash not only drains batteries and likely causes more crashes than any other plugin, but as Reboot pointed out, it's a security risk as well. Since Apple doesn't have the source code they would need to rely on Adobe for patches. Not good.

Seeing youtube already starting to support HTML5 video is beautiful. I think Vimeo is doing the same thing. Keep up the good fight Apple!

If you read it I don't get why you use that as a comparison. Apple has nothing to do with HTML5, not like FW was their baby. Comparing HTML5 to FW is Apples to Oranges. smirk

I'm just speculating that Jobs sees the future of the internet, and it doesn't appear to be Flash etc, it's more towards standardized media content rather than the potpourri there is now. That's why Apple and Google are a couple of the major promoters, they have nothing to do with the technology development though on this. It's not just a passing fad, it's the way to standardized web content. It would be nice not to have to install this or install that to have online media work correctly.

This isn't exactly off-topic (since we were led to expect it in this keynote) but... where's the promised iPhone OSv4 announcement??

How can a rumor be a promise?

You were led to expect this in the keynote by rumors, not by Apple.

Sure, but I haven't fulfilled my 'whining mac fanboi' quota for this quarter, so I felt obliged to comment on the lack of hearing something in the keynote that's actually relevant to me personally, y'dig? wink

Yeah, yeah, I've been rising above that one. See, if they *had* called it the iPadme, they'd have got the strong woman/Star Wars geek market sewn up - though they might have found themselves in copyright battles with Lucasfilms - or with Lotus for that matter.
