watched some of the ipad 2 keynote event today. And jesus fucking christ, it was the most self-gratifying pretentious load of bs ive ever seen.
Its basically steve jobs banging on about how great their products are and how much they've sold, showing competitors and laughing at them... yeah real classy.
I dont know of any company that is lame enough to show competitors and show lesser sales and literally laugh at them.
He also misquoted samsung vice president in regard to the galaxy tab sales.
Apple make GREAT products, fucking great products. Its obvious they do. The masses love them and their marketing is exemplary
But their promo videos and these arrogant keynote speeches just completely ruin it. Clearly the fanboys lap it up, and it obviously doesn't affect sales but its just cringe worthy. All those sales cant buy them an ounce of class, clearly.
You'd expect a company that takes design so seriously to be culturally aware and conscious of their image and taste in these events and promo videos.
The products are fantastic, but the promo videos are laughable, cliched riddle and cringe worthy. The keynote event (ipad 2) was just self gratifying and tasteless.
- Keynotes are for the press and enthusiasts mind you.ernexbcn
- Not only do the other companies laugh at Apple when they can, they make commercials to do it. It never works.monospaced
- never works. Also, Apple wouldn't have press conferences like this if people didn't pack them like they do. Nobody else can.monospaced
- yeh mono, they clearly work. people flock to them, papers write about them. i just find them so uncomfortable.Hombre_Lobo

No other company does keynotes like Apple with Steve Jobs, you don't see in any major newspaper when other company do their events, that only happens with Apple, and yes they always begin with the current status of the company, interesting facts they want to share and then move on to product announcement and features.
I have to agree with you with some of the promo videos they run on the keynotes with all the Apple top guys saying how things are magical and made with unicorn blood, those are a bit silly, but the rest is impeccable.
- thats true, you dont often see in the papers keynote events about about anyone but apple!Hombre_Lobo

Seth Weintraub wears makeup
Getting that out of the way, Weintraub really went out of his way to technically skew and distort Jobs keynotes. With little details in hardware and sales. Even if corrected, doesn't change anything. Weintraub continues to sprinkle his troll dust throughout his article with negative notations, sarcasm and opinionated facts on Apple. The latest trend of Trolls trying to figure out how Steve jobs work.
- But Steve LIED.lukus_W2
- .. I think Apple might have turned a corner - maybe popular opinion is starting to turn too.lukus_W2
- He didn't LIE. People do not like how SJ does his math and translations.omg
- SJ has his competitors flummoxed turning over pebbles looking for shit to throw.omg
- No, I think it's simply become too difficult to ignore the stench.lukus_W2
- He did lie.. plain and simple.. wtf does math have to do with it.. Everything in that CNN article is 100% true.Boz
- yeh boz and lukus are right. sj is a lying fucktard. a rich fucktard, but a liar. thanks for sharing lukus.Hombre_Lobo
