Most people forget about the Mac clones that were available in the late 1990s. I worked for Apple at that time, and I can tell you that the clones made for all sorts of hardware and software problems. In other words, when Apple loosened up, the product suffered, and the touted Mac user experience took a hit..
In truth, Apple’s notoriously tight control is the very reason why the company is successful. It creates brand mystique (seriously, when was the last time anyone waited anxiously for the release of a product from Dell, HP, Sony, or Acer?) , reduces potential software exploitations, demands a higher standard of finished product, simplifies the user experience, and makes for easier tech support—all of these key selling points for Apple products.
People forget what happened when Apple loosened up. It wasn’t pretty then, and I doubt they want to make that mistake again.
Steve Sax (retired former Dodger and Yankee 2nd baseman) had the same problem as Zaun and I have played college ball with a catcher who also had it. In fact, I have struggled with it. What happens is that there are things (like hitting a baseball) that, over time and endless repetition, come natural…you don’t have to think about it. The same thing happens with throwing…and then, one day, you start subconsciously thinking about throwing…and you forget how to…usually you hold onto the ball too long (like Zaun did) and then you overcompensate for holding on too long by letting go too soon (as Zaun also did when he threw it over the head of the pitcher) - the way to get rid of it - stop thinking about it! yeah…right…
Thanks for the page CVXI link. Astonishing arrangements of classic hymns.
Gosh I remember reading a Wall st journal article that suggested the opposite. The article discussed Apple’s period in the late 80’s when they almost didn’tmake it. They had such specialized operations that it wasn’t compatible with any thing else. Forgive me for such a overly simplified statement, i have no knowledge in this area!
Tim,If you download the CVXI link. Their arrangement of “Joy” is the most depressing arrangement I have ever heard. Are they serious? My wife honestly thought it was a joke.
Give it a listen, tell me what you think
