The Bootstomp of WWDC?
Well that was fun: Witnessing Apple effectively putting a good number of people out of business today, some of whom I consider good acquaintances. I’m glad the company has some snazzy new stuff on the way, but sometimes it feels like they’re using the App Stores (including Cydia) as pay-to-play and disposable R&D department / minefield detection squad.
I’m not saying that’s the truth of the matter, nor how things “really are,” but during the keynote I distinctly felt a metaphorical boot in the stomach during some announcements.
And I do believe that many of those companies — Smile Software, for example — are down at WWDC right now.
… And still, the myopia of my concerns right now embarrasses the hell out of me.
“Adapt and overcome” can ring hollow at times, for all that it remains the truth.
