Let the iPad festivities begin

Putting Steve Balmer to good use

I was wondering about this, and of course, amongst the Steve-obsessed, I am not the only one (via MacDailyNews) INSERT IMAGE Oh yes, he has put on a few pounds of Jobsian goodness

Well I don’t like much about the obama-mination, but I do like this

The iPad needs native multi-tasking like a man needs a built-in vagina.

I have had it over the anti-iPad whinging. And while the iTampon jokes are a flying, I am almost surprised that there isn’t a groundswell of complaints that the danged thing can’t be used as a tampon. It would make about as much sense as most of the current crop of complaints which amount to nothing more than having a hissy fit because the iPad isn’t a MacBook. It isn’t intended to be. Just like men weren’t intended to have vaginas. They might be better off in that they finally could find a way to live without wimmin, but that simply is not what they were intended to be. The iPad isn’t intended to be a geek workhorse. It is intended to be a very simple and seamless portable device that simply works.

And I have to ask… has any of these prima donnas actually tried to multi-task on a typical netbook? Yeah technically you can, but you could also technically surf the interwebz on most pre-iPhone cellular phones, and we all know what that was like.

Here’s is to remind all my readers about this awesome site, all about Steve Jobs. The address has changed due to the godawful vistaster of a movie, All About Steve, that has been a frequent target at the Photoshop Disasters blog. One feature is the image of the month. Here is your February Jobsian pin-up. Grrrr…yow! Yummy.

I just love this image

The world’s deadliest man-purse and the iPad. A perfect match. (please no metrosexual girlie purses)

Check out this old Rolling Stone interview with Dear Leader, described as,

These days Jobs rarely speaks to reporters, except in short, carefully managed bursts and Apple-boosting soundbytes. This wasn’t always the case. Sixteen years ago, I sat down with him for a few hours in the sparse offices of NeXT Computer, the company he started after getting booted out of Apple in 1985. It was a different world then. The personal computer revolution seemed played out, the Internet was still just a playground for academics and computer geeks, and Jobs himself was struggling to regain his creative balance. The NeXT computer, a high-end workstation that was beautifully engineered but ridiculously expensive, failed to find a market. Nonetheless, this interview is fascinating because it provides a rare public glimpse of Jobs’ mind in action — here he is at one of the lowest points in his career, but still still displaying as much confidence as ever in his vision of the limitless potential of personal computing.

PC World asks, Are iPad Skeptics as Wrong as iPhone Naysayers Were?

Y.E.S.

I dig this book cover for the MacBook.. even cooler than a manilla envelope. Well … maybe not, but it’s cool nonetheless.

Via Cult of Mac,

Support for a bifurcation of computer sales has come from recent comments by an NPD analyst. Apple sold 90 percent of computers costing more than $1,000 during the fourth quarter of 2009 while the average Windows PC price is $475. The data illustrates Apple practically owns the “premium” U.S. computer market.

Let the cheapskate whining begin!

Yummy…

Here is some exciting news. I have been asked to bring i drank the koolaid to the front page of MyAppleSpace in the near future. I hope to write more opinion[ated] pieces at that time rather than just the sippy cup fodder. The blog will remain here as well as I fiercely clutch my dixie cup of apple goodness.

Remember, don’t take me or yourself too seriously, and no one will get hurt.

The blue shirts pictured on the window stiffs neatly match those currently worn by every employee, making the perfect camouflage for any worker bee desperate to sneak in a few extra minutes of break time.

awe.some.

Legos and Apple.

OH MY GOODNESS…. I HIT THE ICON HALL OF SLOBBER GLORY OF DEAR LEADER! I think I am going to faint.

From MacDailyNews, The Boy Genius reviews Google Android: Half-baked, fragmented, poorly executed, lacking, a mess

“Android still feels half-baked even after two years. And you can’t prance around smiling without raising the bar. You can take your non-multi-touch device and shove it — it’s inexcusable,” Boy Genius writes. “There are so many fundamental issues with Android’s OS that still haven’t been addressed and it really makes my head spin. Uniformity is not a word you’ll find in Android’s dictionary… How do I copy text from non-editable field like an email, webpage, or SMS, or even a 3rd party application? Oh, I can’t. Say what you want about the iPhone not having copy and paste for two years — a joke — it’s the single best implementation on the planet for a smartphone and Google’s approach is almost as bad as RIM’s with the Storm-series.”

Can you say… bag of hurt?

Meanwhile, the iPhone is a bag of childlike wonder:
