How Long Can Apple Keep this Up??

Apple LogoI am a Mac user and as with any other mac user i swear by them and love every minute of using them (apart from when i break unix) but apple can no longer keep up the hype and rumor mongering that i read every day - it just simply isn’t possible.

What other company can you think of that people get all excited because there might be the off chance that a processor in a laptop may just change. As much as Apple is a market leader it cannot keep generating this much hype. On the one hand it is good at generating publicity but this publicity can be a double edged sword, Apple only has to release one bad product and it will be in trouble. Take the iPod for example if there were a new iPod to come out tomorrow and all the units didn’t work would you be put off buying another iPod for your collection??

I don’t like being negative like this and a really do hope apples success continues but at some point something has to change.

Update

Just implemented a couple of tweaks to the site over the last two days, I have finally got round to updating the about me page. I aren’t really sure i like it but I can always change it.

Also I have resurected my Feedburner account and installed a great little plugin by Steve Smith so i dont have to mess with the inerds of wordpress to get it to redirect my feed, so if anybody is using my feed it will make no difference to you because the service is redirect all by itself (no isnt that clever)
