My 9/12 Apple Predictions
September 11th, 2006 by Jeremy ToemanIt’s short, and simple. My biggest prediction for tomorrow is the entire day will see every single gear and gadget blog post about Apple and nothing but Apple. It may in fact be the most boringest day on the Internet.
Why do I say that? Because Apple has gotten boring lately. I’m sorry, throw tomatoes or whatever you want at me. But I just don’t care anymore about the latest bright white plastic thing with a nice (but not original) user interface. So I don’t care if it’s a widescreen iPod, or a smaller nano, or a new Mac mini, or a new laptop, or even a new iMovie Airport Express. I’m mildly interested in an iPhone.
I think, Apple has outAppled themselves. They have overhyped the company so much that I find it genuinely hard to find their innovations innovative. I find their “I’m a Mac. I’m a dunderhead” commercials, while definitely funny, do absolutely nothing to inspire me to want to own a Mac. I don’t really have any problem with Mac owners, I’m just, well, bored of Appleness right now…
Updated: sigh. at least they have HD in the offering…

I couldn’t agree more. Apple is going the way of Google as far as “new” products. I’m falling asleep…

Most people who aren’t Mac users feel the same way as you do. It’s understandable. I rarely get excited about anything having to do with Microsoft. Those of us who use Macs along with other Apple products on a daily basis tend to be a little bit more excited as the company makes headway towards becoming a fully integrated solution in home entertainment.
