  Neurotoxin

  őstag

  Szoktam olvasgatni néha a kommenteket a notionink.wordpress.com/ blogján, azt hiszem ezt megkell osztanom: (ez egy !fiktív! beszélgetés Rohan, Steve Jobs és egy apple alkalmazott között, de nagyon humoros)

  "I hope this doesn’t offend anyone. This is written in good humour. Apologies to anyone who cannot take it in the right spirit. This is completely fictitious. None of the events have happened yet. Some of the things written may be far fetched at the moment. If Rohan feels this is not appropriate, he may delete it.

  A senior executive from A*ple (working in the iP*d division) on his Christmas break at Las Vegas walks into CES 2011 on 6th Jan morning forgetting the fact that A*ple weren’t going to be there at CES. He looks for the A*ple booth and doesn’t find it. He tries his iPh*ne 4 to check with his colleagues and guess what due to poor signal quality he is unable to place the call. He takes out his iP*d to check the reasons on the internet, the wifi connection doesn’t work either. He bumps into a floor steward, who tells him that A*ple aren’t there at this year’s CES. Realising his folly and to make amends for the lost time he decides to suss out the competition for iP*d. He visits the numerous tablets on display and thinks for himself, these all resemble pretty much like his iP*d (just with a different OS) with no innovation whatsoever in terms of design and layout. Well! It is going to be another great year of sales for my iP*d I suppose. He feels he had enough of it and just before making his way out through the maze of CES booths, he sees an Indian with a strange looking tablet giving a hands-on demo to the tech bloggers. It looks like no other tablet out there. He is awe struck. He sees the Indian able to open apps at will and displaying three apps at a time. He also sees things, which he is most certain that iP*d will not be able to do. Now he is in a bit of a dilemma. He asks the Indian whether he could have a look at the tablet, asks for his contact details and a few moments later walks off with the tablet. Now he decides he needs to show this thing to Steve and ask him what he thinks. After a very long drive he makes his way to the Cup*rtino Headquarters. He walks into Steve’s office, shows the demo of the tablet and asks him what he thinks. Steve is impressed but doesn’t want to show it. He says this thing is s**t (just like in the old days). The executive makes his way out thinking what is s**t about this tablet.

  A few days later Steve walks into the executive’s office. This how the conversation goes;
  Steve: Have a look, I got a prototype for our new iP*d built. I think this thing will rock.
  Executive: Steve, that is the same tablet I brought to your office the other day.
  Steve: Smiles sheepishly and asks… BTW, who built this thing?
  Executive: This was built by an Indian named RS from Bangalore.
  Steve: Then let’s buy this guy out.
  Executive: It is not going to be easy. He said this is his dream. He is also not alone.
  Steve: Then buy him, his team and his investors as well. We can afford them all. For good measure buy all his patents as well.
  Executive: That sounds like a great idea. It will save us lots of hard work for the future and will make us a trillion $ company by making tiny incremental upgrades every year.
  Executive then realises that this thing runs on Ed*n + Andr*id and they just cannot buy this out and sell it.
  Executive: But Steve, this thing runs on Andr*id made by the dreadful guys at G**gle.
  Steve: WTF. Why didn’t you tell this before. Let us hire the hackers who jailbroke the iPh*ne and iP*d and ask them to port iOS onto this thing. That will stop the hackers jailbreaking every iOS update we make. Once finished get rid of those guys once and for all.
  Executive: Fine. Shall I call the Indian from Bangalore now? I have his mobile number.

  The call is made.

  Steve: Hi R. I am Steve from A*ple. I saw your device you demoed at CES and am very impressed.
  RS: It is an honour to hear from you. I am glad you are impressed.
  Steve: You know, I visited India even before you were born. I was young like you then.
  RS: I read all about you Steve.
  Steve: Well! I wish to make you an offer to buy your tablet and your company out.
  RS: I am sorry Steve. This thing is my dream and I don’t want to sell it.
  Steve: I will give you a billion dollars. I will also name it iAdam. This way your dream can stay alive. Think about it. It is not everyday does a start-up end up being bought out for a billion dollars.
  RS: I am very sorry to disappoint you, but, there is nothing in this world that is going to make me sell my dream.
  Steve slams the phone down.

  Steve: Why the hell can’t we innovate like this guy. He has so many things on his tablet that is not on our iP*d: (1) Pixel Qi screen, (2) Ability to use outdoors, (3) Swivel Camera, (4) Great Speakers, (5) Matte screen, (6) Non-glossy back, (7) Rubberised grip, (8) Great User Interface, (9) Ability to Multitask, (10) Great battery life, (11) So many I/O ports (12) Plays flash videos, and the list is endless…
  Executive interrupts.
  Executive: But Steve, you are the one who always opposes using Flash on our devices. You hate the guys at Ad*be, don’t you?
  Steve: Well! let us leave that out for the moment.

  He is now fuming and doesn’t know what to do. He says to the Executive, “You worked with me for many years. I haven’t seen anything on our iP*d that is on the other tablet. What have we got, a scaled up version of the iPh*ne, with just half its features. What are you doing with iPad2?” The executive replies, “I used our time tested approach of adding a couple of features taken from iPh*ne. I also threw in a few apps for good measure. Just demo this thing like you always do. The media will fall all over you (like they have seen the greatest product ever) and we will sell millions this year as well”. Steve is really upset now. He says “I am totally unimpressed with all this, you are fired!”

  There ends the story."
