The Future of the Macintosh

It seems to me that Steve Job’s application of Ockham’s Razor will continue. The keyboard will be abolished and we will all have to communicate with our Macs in morse code using the single mouse button. Hmmm. Tags: steve jobs, ockham’s razor, mouse button, macintosh, mac

Steve Jobs the Robber Baron runs a Puppet Show, Maybe: Triple Trouble

A rather complacent comment from a member of the piccolo (8% market share) army of smug Mac users: Easy peasy. Now, be a good kid and go buy a Mac! reminded me that I had a Steve Jobs edition of “Double Trouble” in the cupboard waiting to be rolled out. Every time I see a picture of Steve Jobs being cool I think of Yoffy, who used to run a BBC TV Children’s Programme called “Fingerbobs“: Yoffy Steve Jobs   Incidentally, I also think of the Sheriff of Nottingham from the latest postmodern version of Robin Hood. That would be the one where Frodo Baggins Robin says to his Merry Men Socially Unacceptable Inebriated Persons of Questionable Legality who Make Their Living by Alternative Means: “If we do this, we will do it as a Team”. Sheriff of Nottingham Fingermouse By the way, this is Fingermouse (with Scampi): Wrapping-Up Probably Not Wrapping Up Cue a wave of outrage from Apple fans. Ooops.
