Ideas

Apple's 'Ideas' or 'Concepts' department (I imagine they have such departments) should consist of creative brainstormers like me... not just programmers, computer scientists, electronics specialists & wizards or other supergeeks, but also less technical, imaginative thinkers and 'ideas' people like me. Maybe they do. I think I should be a part of such a group.

Regarding technology, the "future" is only cool when you make things that are way ahead of their time for people to use now. Apple makes some really amazing stuff but it seems to me they have to hold back a lot (and wait for the larger market to play catch up) because so many of its potential customers are obsequious Microsoft robots stuck in the dark ages; not becuase they want to be but because it's all they know and are capable of comprehending. Beleive me when I say I'm not speaking out of hate, I am not a hateful person. But I really feel in my heart that Microsoft, in general, is like a thought suppressant on humanity.

This is lost potential energy and that is very sad to me. It is like keeping a child prodigy from achieving his highest or renting a sportscar with a speed governer. Maybe this has to do with what Tim Berners-Lee said in 1999 about the NeXT Computer. I would love to talk shop with Steve Jobs one day. I think I will.


I'm poor. I'm rich with ideas... and I'm hungry*.

Some freebie ideas to follow...
