(View all)Listening to Tim Cook is painful. I think I'd rather watch Steve Ballmer jump up and down on stage instead...
Er nothing is more painful than listening to Ballmer. :eek:Well, I was no big fan of Steve Jobs' keynotes, but I did admire his showmanship. Great Keynotes, no doubt.
But... is it just my perception, or was today's presentation extremely LAME?
I mean, regardless of how excited (or not) one can be for the new iPad, the keynote performers' style, rhythm and general organization was, IMO, just boring.
Or is it that this ***** doesn't bring the same excitement anymore? I mean, the will be "new" iCrap every year, new iOS, new OS X.... all with relatively marginal improvements over its predecessors. Rarely something groundbreaking...
Any thoughts?
The rest of the world: So what?
Tim Cook: There new iPad has new apps and a very high resolution!
the rest of the world: So what?
Tim Cook: Apple, WOOHOO!
one man in the audience: -golf clap-
Seriously, there was nothing interesting about this keynote. The products were not surprising in any way. The improvements were just spec bumps as I see it. It didn't even seem like Tim Cook was excited about this.
Let's face it. This is becoming a hollow ritual in the post-Jobsian era. A high school drama student gets an audience more excited than this.
