Have I lost my mind or are people seriously talking about the "thrill"
of watching video on tiny little screens. Where and when are people
going to watch these shows? While jogging? This is going to be a
satisfying visual experience for anyone?

Jobs himself thought the idea was idiotic once upon a time. I guess the
marketting people finally got to him, and I hope he regrets it.

This is just about the stupidest technological development I have ever
heard of. But then, I should know better than to let my judgement cloud
over my pocket book. There's money to be made out there... I'm going
to see if I can revive the umbrella hat...
