The irony, Oh the irony.

Remember when, once upon a time, Steve Jobs said that having to use stylus was a nuisance? How it was best NOT to go there technologically?


Well apparently Apple's new management chose to simply ignore their leader's point of view, and went on and made one. Not only that, but instead of making a simple pen.. why not make a $99 pen?

His face says it all.

I can't help but thing whoever is running Apple is an idiot. Their direct competitor is Microsoft's Touchpen which costs 4€. Seriously Apple? What does your pen do? Does it come up with bad ideas of it's own?? 

I bought a Circuit Scribe for my husband. A pen that has conductive ink for sketching electronic circuits on paper. I bought him the kit with all the extra fancy stuff and it was still no more than $45.

Even the 3Doodler has much more use at the same price range. There is a reason why Nintendo's Gameboys come with 2 or 3 extra stylus'es, their use life is pretty much the same as a common pen. It gets lost faster than the ink runs out. If you run out of ink, then you are a true master. The same goes for stylus'es.

Sorry, this is more like a rant than a proper post, but it's just that idiotic things bother me too much. And every time apple presents something it just feels like they target rich dumb people. Sadly enough, there is a large market in that area.

I'm not an apple person, I love my self-built PC. But to be fair I loved my old iphone 3gs, until it took a microscopic pebble to the screen and broke. All new gen phones are terribly big and thing. 

Ok, in any case, that's it for now. I should stop rambling about these things.
