At Long Last

The editorial staff of tinytalk has decided to issue a written statement on the iPad and other tablets.

The iPad is the dumb and crippled network computer that Larry Ellison and Bill Joy dreamt of in the 90ies done right at last.

Of course it needed a tasteful ratcatcher like Mr. Jobs to get it done right. It is for well todo male 40+ guys who kinda hated personal computers because of their levelling potential. Everything else is gravy.

Whoever carries around an iPad and uses it in meetings or does similar things gives ultimate prove he or she is not smart or tough enough for real computers.

Let's just say: ulimately the iPad is for busybodies, the retired and consumers who masochistically like to be ripped off by the only company who really make you pay deerly for your participation in the cool digital society.

Table Of Recent M.E. Content

The inner workings of www distributed reader generated content (WDRGC) demand that everything is published in reverse chronological order and kept thus with standardly day based archive calender accesss (DBACA) added by the blogging or group software used.

While this is somewhat contrary to the hypertext structure assumed it caters pretty well to the generally alleged loss of attention span duration. Nevertheless, with linear logic only half but not yet quite obsolete in the field of debate in a somehow "scientific" paradigm, it can still be of benefit to forwardly read or watch serial stuff.

So for the benefit of the old-fashioned forward-progress oriented readership (OFFPOR) the tiny staff has prepared this little overview of the recent tiny implements for the incidental little recent topic here.

Why Is The Media Industry so Confused?

Finished Early

Not many people here in good ole Europe might have noticed, but today the last specimen of the most advanced and most senseless fighter plane that humanity - a small elite part of the US engineering elite part of humanity that is - has built so far, rolled of the assembly line. And most probably nobody will build the like of it again for the forseeable future. It is simply without sensible application.

Requiescat in pace, F-22 Raptor. You were and are one hell of a dangerous an' expensive toy 4 far 2 few.

May you find peace, Steve Jobs, †

He was the greatest marketer the last decades of the old and, even more, the first of the new century have seen, which surely is no small feat with so many trying so very hard in that field.

Steven Jobs was a man of impeccable taste as it seems and stamina for many. In the end he even virtually beat his eternal frind-foe-rival Gates at the stock exchange game.

He also seems to have been sort of an asshole. For one so early on searching for peace in India and other places, from the evidence we have it does not look like he found it while on this planet. "It's not binary. You can be decent and gifted at the same time", Wozniak tells Jobs in Danny Boyle's movie. Who knows.

It seems in his last years Jobs tried a least a bit to become a more decent person. May you find peace where ever you are, Steve. After some meditation we now can write this from our hearts.
