Is that a Mac in your pocket?

July 31, 2006

MacSlash reports that they’re starting to wonder if they should start supposing that Apple (the computer company, not the Beatles’ music company) will release an Apple-branded cell phone. Not us.

Very Suppositious supposes, verily, verily, that Apple (tcc, ntBmc) will release a cel computer, although exactly how soon is a little problematical. If there were only some gargantuan services company that could do all the calculations for Apple, they could just shrug off the internals of the computer, and just make a mint with cells. My uncle was a cells-man.

But Steve Jobs would probably want an Apple (tcc, ntBmc) Network of some kind. Geez, we just remembered: it could be a virtual network carved out of the existing cel and wireless networks! Wow!

So, we can suppose that almost the minute Bill Gates leaves the computer business, it starts being truly inventive again…

Gates wasn’t exactly the life of the party was he? It’s like storm clouds or something. Who was it that invented FUD? Oh, Gene Ahmdahl, according to Wikipedia (good enough for us). About IBM. And, later, MS… Well, LSMFT, eh? All three seem to be carcinogenic… Wait! we take that back! IBM seems to be curing cancer these days. We just checked out Netscape and found this story. And Bill Gates has left the room. He’s curing cancer, too. And Lucky Strike? Well, that’s so well known it requires no comment, we think.

But back to Apple (tcc, ntBmc). Isn’t it about time for the Beatles to sue them again? Or will their stock (symbol: AAPL) just keep moving up the charts?

Up the charts, if you ask us. Right into cell heaven.


The world in your pocket: It’s the phone, stupid!

Scoble, in a story on a story written by David Beers now has a comment from  sabadash trying to illuminate the kind of people that make modern computers and program them. It’s crazy to keep making these silly computers. Who wants ’em? I’d much rather have a pocket full of phone calls, Google-searches, web sites, and …

 In that comment, sabadash sez that any kid’d like to have a new flashlight – well, he doesn’t say it, but it’s obvious, isn’t it?

And if you could make a flashlight communicator for the kids this X-mas, wouldn’t that sell?

And wouldn’t you like to have a pocket illuminator that could throw the image of Jenna Jameson on the wall in the middle of the night? Or in the middle of class!?!

I’m sure that the only really hip computer maker, Steve Jobs, is working on all this now. The only question is whether the Apple iFlash will be white or black. Oh, or titanium.
