/Louie Mantia, on PC manufacturer’s futile attempts to make compelling computers:
You can call it a notebook, a netbook, an ultrabook or a sleekbook… but it’s never ever going to be the MacBook that people want.

Quote: Shawn Blanc
/It’s only a matter of time until consumers begin buying and using iPads (and other tablets) as their primary computers. Why wait until then to call the iPad a PC? The iPad is a PC today.
This past Christmas, my mother-in-law bought my father-in-law an iPad to replace his aging Dell. My friend Aaron and his siblings also pooled together and got their parents an iPad to use as their main machine. In just under two years since it entered people’s homes, the iPad is already replacing keyboard & mouse computers for plenty of folks.
Quote: MG Siegler
/All you need to know about the “is the iPad a PC?” argument: are people buying them instead of traditional PCs? Sure looks like it.
Quote of the Day | John Gruber
/Apple’s business has never been about capturing the entirety — or even a unit-share majority — of any market. They just make cool things and sell them for a profit. That’s it.
Quote of the Day | Marco Arment
/Marco Arment on the “fanboy” slur often slung at Apple owners:
Apple’s customers often get accused of unconditional devotion to the company’s products. But the accusers often have an equally irrational aversion: they blindly and universally won’t buy Apple products. People can buy (or not buy) whatever they want, but if a few hundred million people think Apple’s products are good and fit their needs, and a handful of tech bloggers loudly refuse to buy them even if they have similar needs, which side looks like the irrational one?
Quote of the Day: Steve Jobs
/Steve Jobs, April 2010:
New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.
Visionary.
