The Apple hypocrisy re-visited
I admire Apple for their products and a lot lot for their marketing. They can turn a stone into gold by just saying that “stone is going to be the future”. Now let’s look at how Apple makes it’s move SDK
October 2007 - We, don’t need a SDK. Web is the iPhone SDK. Apple fanbois exclaim — “Yes, who needs a shitty SDK when web is awesome”
March 2008: Non-web SDK becomes cool in just 5 months. I can’t recall any technical break-thought in that period. Anyway iPhone SDK was hailed as the best thing since sliced bread. Copy-Paste
2008: We don’t need copy-paste as it is tough to implement. Yes! We do have excuse cooked up
March 2009: We implemented it as we thought “Enough arrogance”. Now let’s move over to something new for showing arrogance. MMS
June 2008: iPhones doesn’t need MMS
March 2009: MMS comes to iPhone. It is hailed as a great innovation which pushes iPhones miles ahead of other phones. Multitasking
Before 2010: I was accustomed to numerous blog posts from all nerds, geeks and pundits why multi-tasking is tough and other phone are doing it wrong and millions of other facts and figures.
April 2010: All the Apple pundits, self proclaimed Apple-ecosystem geeks were still praising Apple for not bringing multi-tasking too iPhone as it is bad. Multi-tasking is the deal-breaker for other phone. These people even had hundreds of reasons to support Apple. Suddenly Steve Jobs took out shot them in their balls. iPhone will have multi-tasking. Now all of these geeks and self-declared Apple nerds will start explaining why time has changed (overnight) and iPhone really needs multi-tasking. What next?Lastly, why Gruber doesn’t allow comments on his blog? The reason is pretty simple from my point of view. He is not prepared to bear the amount of public criticism he can get and millions of comments (stop sucking Steve’s balls) which Jesus Diaz gets for his all bullshit Apple supportive posts. I anyway prefer Ars for a neutral and thorough reviews of anything related to Apple.
