“I don’t read inspiring books. I find that such books give me a temporary high, but they don’t give me the power to actually follow through. In fact, I suspect these books often serve as a substitute for actual success, rather than as a way of helping people achieve success. By reading inspiring books, you can experience success vicariously; they free you from having to achieve things yourself.”

I noticed this straight-away after installing the update. Little details like this are what separate a great app from the rest of the garbage in the app store. Cheers, Marco!

“A big part of the reason for all the excitement about the iPad is that, similar to the Nintendo Wii in the videogames industry, it appeals to segments of the market which have not traditionally been targeted. Segments which are nevertheless ready and willing, as with Wii, to buy devices in their hundreds of thousands.”

“

You “focus” on the one thing you care about, as you “unfocus” on everything else. If not for every minute of your life, at least for the time you set aside to pursue the thing that matters.

If that sounds fancy and oversimpliﬁed, then you “care” about too many things. Period.

The One True Family In The One Who Is Called Steve®:

But, if you really understood the nature of our unbreakable fealty to the “Steve Jobs/Apple distortion field,” you’d know very well that we can’t leave. Not even if we wanted to. Which, of course, we don’t. Never. Ever. I mean, why would we? This is The One True Family In The One Who Is Called Steve®.

I went back for a second helping of Avatar this Sunday....

I went back for a second helping of Avatar this Sunday. There’s a scene early on in the movie where one of the scientists walks across the lab carrying the “mobile computer slab of the future.” We’ve seen one of these in almost every sci-fi movie of the last 50 years. It comes free with a jetpack, I suppose. Except this time, one month later, my 12 year old son turns to me and whispers “Look Dad, it’s an iPad.”
