Far more significant are the societal roles Jobs played. And here, despite the myriad ways his companies improved our lives, Jobs was a hero only in the Ayn Randian sense.

Video Kinect and Messenger Demo (via windowslive)
One more reason to have a Kinect, even if you don’t have room near your TV to use it to play games.

I can report that, standing on top of an operational 600 MW nuclear reactor weighing several thousand tons, all you can feel is a slight rumbling vibration like distant traffic felt through a road surface — there’s no indication that metres below your feet, hundreds of tons of gas compressed to conditions more normally associated with the surface of Venus are being blasted through the guts of a radioactive inferno.

But yes, this is how Apple has operated for years. Apple tells you how they want you to use their products. If it doesn’t fit what you are looking for, then don’t buy their stuff. You want to use Hulu via the web on an iPad? Jobs says you can’t have Flash, so no Hulu for you. Unless you want to pay for Hulu+ - suddenly that’s OK, but you get no extra features for that: just the ability to stream it to a platform that should support the Flash player in the first place. You want to have a choice of carriers for your iPhone? Not if Apple doesn’t want you to. Multiple video formats? Nope. Want Blu-Ray drives? Tough shit, you aren’t getting one. Got a problem with a product? Come to our forums but don’t piss us off because we’ll kill the thread without warning. And for years, people have just rolled over for all of the peccadillos and thanked Apple for the experience.

So iPhone reception has always been worse than people thought? And the problem now is just one with the display and not inherent in the design of the phone? Come on.
