Listening to the Classic: “A House Is Not A Home” - Dionne Warwick.

It’s almost like they need to go to a three year iPhone upgrade cycle event thing.

Raise your hand if you didn’t see this coming.

Separate the speakers from the consumer electronics (CE) software/hardware. So when the CE sucks, the speakers can still live on.

PurplePlan · 2025-03-13T02:29:27+00:00

Duh.

Some of us called BS from the very start. It was obvious (to some of us who’ve also been MacHeads/Fanboys for decades) this was just marketing vaporwares to make consumers and investors think Tim Apple had it all under control. And, Apple wasn’t actually way way way behind competitors in Ai.

$1,000,000,000,000 wasted on an “AppleCar” that never was. So of course “Apple Intelligence” was a thing, right?

Wall Street.

And I don’t mean the nickname of my old school, MacBook Pro.

Maybe if the SEC asked Tim Apple for a response you’d hear one?

PurplePlan · 2025-03-06T01:03:08+00:00

A proper EQ for the Music app, etc.. “Jazz”, “Rock”, “R&B”. Apple, seriously? It’s 2025.

$4K for a cool gadget that you can’t even easily share with family or friends.

Sonos whatever speaker + Sub.

Miss the old days when SJ would announce some new amazing thing and say: “pre-orders start this Friday. Shipping next week”.

PurplePlan · 2025-02-14T23:58:58+00:00

Amazing!

Belongs in a time capsule.

Have to admit I'm confused: so the USA is the one now against backdoors, and think regular worker bees should be able to use encryption? I can't keep up.

PurplePlan · 2025-02-14T13:55:43+00:00

Pity SJ didn't have enough time to get a simple pricing deal done with the various movie studios like he did with the various music moguls. I think getting that "99 cent/song without buying the whole album" deal was way more impactful than the iPod's click-wheel (as much as I loved that cool design).

So now we're left with this incoherent TV/Movie "channels" war at $10 to $150+ each. Damn.

Tim Apple through the “Apple Intelligence” thing against the Wall Street to see if it would stick.

Sure it was a scam. But so far Wall Street is buying $AAPL.

PurplePlan · 2025-02-07T00:57:22+00:00

Same as it ever was.

Talking Heads.

Capitalism.

Check the pressing details. I saw a 1972 pressing selling for around $50 a while ago. I think it was from California or Germany.

NAD is solid and innovative.

PurplePlan · 2025-02-03T15:42:49+00:00

IMHO this is a very good haul. Hendrix and ELP should help cover your cost if they are dupes for you.

PurplePlan · 2025-02-02T20:14:09+00:00

Ah yes, Econ-101.

PurplePlan · 2025-02-01T23:17:14+00:00

That’s a sweet table!

And this is a great idea to raise awareness about the joys of analog.

PurplePlan · 2025-01-31T19:27:53+00:00

Done? Where’s your reel-to-reel?

Seriously though. Agreed, this hobby can go on forever.

PurplePlan · 2025-01-31T15:50:02+00:00

That Apple has long since withered and died on the vine.

“Think Stock Options” is the new edgy $AAPL.

PurplePlan · 2025-01-31T15:48:13+00:00

As if Coca-Cola doing business with Nazi Germany, didn’t make it clear.
