The Macalope Weekly: Enthusiasms

04.12.2010

Would it have been nice if the iPad had gotten all the iOS 4 features at the same time the iPhone did? Sure! Pandas are nice, too, but you can’t keep one in a small, unfurnished apartment (the Macalope found out the hard way).

Does Gruman think it didn’t take effort on Apple’s part to bring those features to the iPad? There’s nothing wrong with you, personally, wishing you could have everything you want right now. Just don’t expect the rest of us to consider it penetrating technology analysis.

The horny one rarely wastes his time on Paul Thurrott because he’s really more of a Microsoft enthusiast than an analyst. The Macalope doesn’t get that, but it’s Thurrott’s right and he’s entitled to his opinions. However wrong and stupid and wrong they are. Just…keep them over there.

But every once in a while the boosterism goes into full-fledged fantasy mode. You have to keep an eye on these things because, well, the Macalope cares and he’d hate to see Paul enter a spiral of delusion.
