http://tidbits.com/ A new 128 GB model of the fourth-generation iPad joins Apple’s product lineup, but what’s most interesting is how Apple is aiming the new model at professional users. en-us Copyright 2013 TidBITS Publishing Inc.

The fact that Apple keeps repeating the falsehood that we are now in a "post-PC" world and pushing its customers to try to get used to using a gadget instead of a real computer to complete work tasks is both aggravating and tiresome. Let those of us who prefer using a real computer continue to do so and stop trying to bully us into using mobile devices. Also, stop trying to turn our work OS into a gadget OS. The two OSs should be completely different to take better advantage of the computer's advantages.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13527?rss#comments_17469 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:27:08 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13527#comments_17469
... That said, if iPad 5 looks interesting, I'll probably "bite the green apple" as us Danes say, and get the 128 model anyway. After all I paid for .mac membership for a decade, each year hoping they would introduce something useful for me.
Mm, new term: a "green Apple": an Apple product which tastes bitter for some reason but which you have to have anyway.]]>
