Well he's got brutal pancreatic cancer, so if your wish is for him to die, this is probably better than your wildest fantasies.
I kept that in mind. But the bus thing just has a better ring to it.

Actually, I'm sure he
has given millions of pounds to growers over the last 40+ years, just not publically or for so-called "research." Heh. But yeah... I know what you mean.

The biggest reason why Jobs is a nob-jockey:
Seriously, fuck off! Nothing says I am a smug pseduo liberal capitalist cracker more than a rollneck sweater, the cucking funt. I bet he fucking reads the Guardian with a skinny-latte-to-go and eats sausage wraps instead of butties, the tnuc.

Since he's american, he's probably even more of a joke and reads The Huffington Post on his macbook air

So after being initially completely dismissive of it and knowing my housemate would try and talk me round, we ended up having a great discussion about it last night.
I still don't reckon it's a "game changer", which is how Apple try to make their products seem, but if they can get people moving on the Apps front it could be massive. We were throwing around some ideas last night - he designs mobile and web apps for a living - and got rather excited.
Basically, Jobs did an utterly shit presentation. Web browsing will definitely not be what makes this thing cool.
I still reckon it'll be blown out of the water in a couple of years once we can make a device that size/weight which contains a proper computer.

It's actually 1024 x 768. 720 is a widescreen resolution.

Not sure how that's possible seeing as full 720p resolution is bigger than the screen resolution.

I think that means it has the ability to play a file that large without stuttering, but obviously it will have to either be cropped or letterboxed, like the iphone does.

i've got something interesting to say:
on my exam economics (christmas 2009) we got a text about apple and comercials. We had to make a SWOT-analyse of it but that doesn't matter. The article said that apple, has never, ever, given out 1 cent on commericals. They have this way of hyping their products causing every single techmotherfucker on the internet to write a fucking page, blog, or post a fucking review or unboxing video on youtube. Can you believe that? I couldn't. But try this: find a fucking tv-commercial for any apple product. And it has to be from apple itself. (because in Belgium we have an iphone commercial but it's financed by fucking mobistar fail, facefalm,) NO really try it. I've been googling for about 15 minutes and i couldn't find a thing but the little pc vs. mac vid's on apples website (-> which means, no expensive costs) Jobs is a fcking sleek bastard.
