LOL

All that tecnology and there are still bellhops, valet, drivers, cooks, clerks, and all the other non-techo to facilitate the efficient techo users. What a crock of cannoli.

It doesn't matter how far you push techno... there are still 7 billion people in the world that are going to need food, shelter, clothing and the majority of them will still be doing the minimal (non-techo) jobs that no one wants to do.

Microsoft is not representing of anything, but stuff they promote. If they are so darn cool and smart why is the backend to their latest operating system still DOS, a A forty year old system software. Innovation is basically stagnant. We only have embellishments using the old technologies from the late 60's for the most part.

LMAO

Agree 100% I am no fan of Microsoft... perhaps it should be called future of 1st world countries

I was arguing with some guys at work who believe in the future of automated travel and while im sure it will be like that one day they seemed completely oblivous to the facts that you mentioned... how would the lorry, bus, taxi and aircraft drivers feel when they are given the middle finger.... It will be reminiscent of the Luddite's.

Microsoft should write stuff for Star Trek, their vision of the future is a waste of time and money, they should leave this stuff to Apple and think about releasing an OS that actually works half as good as Mac OSX lol

Jobs was damn right: folks at Micro$oft lack the vision..

fortunately Jonathan Ive is still alive and kicking, he was the conceptual engineer behind the latest series of successful Apple products, he lived and worked in symbiosis with Jobs, but the true creations were their brainchildren.

Jobs was surely an inspiration, and although his manners and attitude might have been questionable to many, he still made things happen.

The comment about putting an apple on things probably means that either you never used an Apple device or you can't afford one, cos they all work better than any other PC technology, and that is a fact.

I buy apple devices on a daily Base, today i had apple pie and yesterday i had apple juice.

Well everytime when i want to buy something the first i think is "do i really need it" and then i buy it or not, its as simple as that.
I have no use for IPhone, i just need a cell phone, so i dont buy it, but in my circle of friends and acquaintances, almost every one bought IPhones because its a "must have" to be seen with. I still have my W595 thats good for me, i dont need more.
And i dont really care about Steve Jobs, the guy is dead get over it.
I dont give a dam who is inventing the stuff i buy, regardless of whether his Name is Steve Jobs or Puppulu Frufullu, i dont care about such hype.

And btw i surely can afford Apple products, but such huge amount of money i do rather spend them for beer and alcohol and a good party.

Frankly, I'd rather live in a future designed by Raaaid than one designed by Microsoft...
