lol Apple.

The times when they were innovative are long past.

Apple were never great innovators.

Apple's strength is not fundamental research. Its strength is design, ergonomics and taking known innovations to the masses.

I've seen a few truly jaw dropping innovations come out of Google and IBM, for example this:

Apple's "innovations" are pretty humdrum and banal in comparison, like "let's just put one button on a smartphone instead of 4".

  Aye, we could build a list a mile long of companies more innovative than Apple. Kodak, Samsung, et al. But, for sheer market clout, they would certainly be at the top of that list.

  I keep neglecting the original point here to this thread. That slogan is an excellent discriptor of Bitcoin. We'd need to come up with our own, similarly quantifying "Think" type verb to kick start it.

  Gonna need more coffee for that....  *sips and ponders*

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

Why buy a good hardware for a good price? THINK DIFFERENT, buy old and fail hardware for a higher price!

Why buy a smartphone with a good display that won't break? THINK DIFFERENT, buy a smartphone whose display happily break (and then you keep using it cause ops you just spent 700$)

I just wanted to come over here on this thread and laugh at that ridiculous Levi's ad.

Thanks for the coffee. After a few sips, I came up this:

Is any statement more appropriate to Bitcoin? On a more cynical note... if any of you have trouble getting your apps into the App Store, send them this quote  Wink

They have strayed so epically far away from their humble beginnings...
