Goodbye Steve Jobs

I know this will sound stupid to some people, but it feels like a friend has died.

I’ve never met Steve Jobs, I don’t even work in an industry connected to Apple, I’m just a consumer who’s been using Apple products for a few years.

Still I feel connected to this man, through his legacy that is Apple Inc. and the products which have made my life more pleasant and my job easier.

Thanks Steve.

Get well soon Mr. Jobs

I hope this time the associated press, bloggers, pundits and idiots alike will respect your requests for privacy.

Wishlist for the Apple press event

I’m not in the market for any Apple gear right now — I’m happy with the stuff I have, thank you very much — but I’m still looking forward to the things that might be presented today.

So here’s what I’m hoping for:

  1. “Mac OS X Lion” — I wonder if Andy Ihnatko might be right by speculating that this might be v11.0 and not 10.7, also; Facetime support in iChat.
  2. New MacBook Air — This seems to be a given and while I hope that it retains the 13.3” form factor, I’m eager to see if Apple manages to lower the price significantly. This is wishful thinking since Apple doesn’t produce anything without making a significant profit, but I’m hoping nevertheless.
  3. iLife ‘11 — I’m not really using much of the included software regularly anymore, but improvements are always welcome.
  4. Announcement of the white iPhone 4’s shipping date — As I said, I’m not in the market right now, but hey “I want to believe!”
  5. Last but not least: I want to see Apple buying Dropbox and integrating the living hell out of it.

Steve Jobs will not let the Gizmodo thing slide

This gives me the impression that Gizmodo’s activities surrounding the 4G iPhone prototype theft, will lead to them getting less to no access to Apple events and will be treated even more coldly by Apple PR than before.

Straight from the horse’s mouth; the reason why Apple won’t allow external analytics for anything other than advertising. Clue: Violation of privacy policies.
Jobs also clarifies that iAds won’t be the only advertising platform allowed on the iPhone.

This video is really worth a watch.

I don’t want to see us to descend into a nation of bloggers, myself … we need editorial more than ever right now.

Steve Jobs at D8 on if the iPad will save the newspaper companies.

Call me a sensationalistic blogger, but I think this was a completely justified jab at Gawker/Gizmodo.
