Tutto qua l'annuncio di Steve Jobs?
I G3 e l'Apple Store?
Molto rumore per nulla
Sigh... un abbaglio collettivo, che sa tanto di presa per i fondelli da
parte di Steve Jobs... sta a vedere se alla prossima megaconferenza
ottiene la stessa attenzione

Aram, non t'incazzare...
Meglio cosě. Umax e Motorola hanno sicuramente piů frecce al loro arco.
A me che Apple ed Oracle si fondano non piace proprio niente.

Is Apple Thinking Different?
----------------------------
(...)
More interesting is what didn't happen at the press conference.
  Apple didn't merge with Oracle (...) Apple didn't announce a
partnership with Lucent, and
  Steve Jobs didn't accept the CEO position (or even the coveted
  title of Dictator for Life). None of the widely circulated rumors
  turned out to be true, as is so often the case, and life goes on.
  Apple should be both commended and condemned for their handling of
  this situation. On the one hand, by allowing the Oracle buyout
  rumors to persist (and one wonders if they might not have been
  intentional), Jobs managed to turn a fairly interesting
  announcement into a public relations coup. There's no way that
  Apple could otherwise have generated such interest for new
  machines and an online store, and for that Apple should be
  commended.
However, I don't believe it's healthy for the Macintosh
  world to sustain such intensity surrounding Apple's possible moves
  and by encouraging that intensity without delivering (...), Apple does
its users a disservice. I'm
  seeing people burn out and cease to care what happens to Apple or
  the Macintosh, and Apple can't afford that right now.
(...)
I'm willing to concede that the Apple Store and
  providing customers the opportunity to customize their Macs are
  radically different ways of building and selling computers, at
  least for Apple, if not others in the industry. And, the G3 Macs
  seem nicely designed, if not stunningly designed.
However, these are engineering and business details. Apple has
  released innovative machines in the past, and we've certainly seen
  numerous business changes over the seven and a half years we've
  watched Apple in TidBITS. What remains to be seen is if Jobs has
  managed to make the company _think_ differently. The visionaries
  and leaders portrayed in Apple's ads weren't the sort of people
  who changed a distribution channel or released incrementally
  better products - they thought and acted in ways previously
  unimaginable. Apple was once a company that did "think different"
  - if nothing else, Apple engineers created a system to which
  people could relate and with which they could identify. The
  Macintosh affected our lives, but Apple proclaiming "Think
  Different" from the electronic rooftops does little for me. The
  question remains: can Apple "think different" and transcend the
  limitations of large corporate culture to touch our lives once
  again?
** fine!!
Scusate, ho tagliato molto, ma alla fine e' venuta lunga lo stesso.
Siete ancora li'? :)
Beh, ciao! :)

 e' stata una grande mossa pubblicitaria ...
No, gli è andata male con Oracle, nel senso che il consiglio ha voluto
approfondire il discorso prima di decidere sul merger.
