“This is unlike anything we or anyone else in our industry has made before,“… 12

“This is unlike anything we or anyone else in our industry has made before,“ said Tim Cook regarding the iPhone 5.

Let's see; 4-inch display, 8 megapixel 1080p HD camera, HD front-facing camera, 4G LTE, 5 rows of icons, turn by turn navigation, panorama photography. Nope nobody has ever done those before, least of all, Motorola, HTC, Samsung, LG, Hauwei or any of the countless other manufacturers making Android phones. Except for the LTE, I have all of those on my Droid 3 that I've been using since July 2011 and several of them were on the OG Droid I got in 2009!

All in all, meh!

Where Microsoft has more taste than Apple.

It must surely be a sign of the impending apocalypse that Microsoft’s operating systems have “more taste” than Apple’s. I’m referring to Apple’s inexplicable use of skeuomorphic design in iOS and OS X apps, and contrasting that with Microsoft’s stark avoidance of such cheesy gimmickry in Windows 8.
