Apart of course from with the bubble-head apple-heads.... and so it goes on...

I make no argument for the consumer end of Apple's stuff - beyond that fact that fooling several hundred million people - time after time - with some sort of sub-standard product - is no mean feat.


I find it pervy that someone with an iPhone 4 would immediately want an iPhone 5 for sure. But then I find it equally pervy that anyone else should genuinely give a sh1T!

I'm not posting to say 'I don't give a shit' though am I, eh? .. I'm posting to say that I find it pervy that other people give a shit so much.. why they get so purple with rage about the whole thing. Really, it's weird.


It's like getting angry because your neighbour owns a Ford Focus or something. Why?!

Erm..... didn't pick up any purple protestations on here meself. Like I said, I find the lemming-like consumerism mania interesting to observe, and occasionally to comment on :)

It is odd - agreed.

"[snip] phone doesn't work quite as we'll as some [snip]"


Lovely!


On the wider point quite agree, it is all very silly, but then people need to obsess over something before middle age and your looming mortality render all that vim and gusto null and void when faced with the utter pointlessness and meaningless of ones own existence and the cosmos' deep indifference to you.


That said I hope Steve jobs* burns in hell, or something.


*only joking, I meant Tony Blair obviously.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
