iDeas that win!


PC & Mac have always been in a battle. Fighting to gain more market share. No doubt, there are more PC users, but Mac products has surpassed PCs in terms of design, reliability & branding status. It's like PCs are Giodano or Bossini Jeans, whereas Mac is Levis or Guess.

Anybody can see that the battles between the two Titans are on but we sensed no hostility. I would call them The Art of Subtleness & Grace.

Grace, something that can reflect how well one is brought up...something we lack...spore's pride - creative, is my shame.

Never have I seen such arrogance in a copycat. When zen debut, bold words were used when sim made direct comparison with iPod. Practically, stepping on Steve Job's head & spitted on his iPod.

After the recent Mac World, iPod shuffle surfaced. Obviously, the release was totally out of sim's predictions. He was caught off guard, sudden lost in direction. Yet, he put up a hostile defence. Laughing at Mac with disappointment for doing something he had done long time ago. If those thoughts of his are really true, I pity this shallow person.

To me, Mac is doing something remarkably amazing by having a backward integration.

Mac started off aggressively at full throttler with iPod, iPod mini & reached its 1st target with iPod photo. Now, while the copier is still trying to catch up, Mac turns back & picks up the market it had missed with - iPod shuffle.

By doing so, Mac can also understand & find out the real capabilities of its copier. There's no more new tech & idea for creative to copy. It's time to actually be creative & come out with something original & good, or loose the market share during coming festive seasons. Either way, Mac wins! By the way, copying...or put it nicely, improvise on iPod is a disgrace to its company name - creative! Improvement?...maybe...but definitely not creative, not by a loooooong~shot!!!

Just like during an examination - you do your papers in the fastest possible time. When you are done, you will be delighted to find out that you have time to look through it again to spot & correct any mistakes.

Anyway, 'nuff said, creative didn't pay me to give them iDeas!


ps, *psst~* do you know that nomad & zen were designed using Power Mac? Surprised?...hush...he doesn't want people to know...
pps, nomad suckz! Die on my friend in less than 10 months! Hopefully, he still has waranty...
