Star Bringing the Apple to the Masses - Revisited
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sun 12th Sep 2004 07:33 UTC
Apple Fourteen months ago I wrote an editorial, suggesting that Apple should create an ultra cheap machine to battle the PC world. On that article, I suggested some specs for the hypothetical "Strawberry" computer. As technology is moving on fast, I am now updating these specs. To get the idea though, please make sure you read last year's article before you read on this one.

apple's too slow

i think eugenias vision is nice, but it will never happen. Apple is too proud if their own creations, so they continue they product line like a onetrackmind. At least as long old Steve rocks the Apple... I say, they simply don't want a cheap (and headless) machine, they want high-priced nice shiny stuff.

The only chance Apple had, was the cloning era. They couldn't keep the up speed of the cloned machines, so they killed it. So, we get a dumbed-down OS, getting more than 100 "amazing new" <cough> features every release, but less bugfixing instead and hardware bound to that OS.
