One of the many reasons why I despise Apple products. They “force” you to upgrade to new hardware for no reason. It’s all about the bottom line, and how many sheeple will continue to spend money on it. This is kind of the same business model TI had with the TI99/4A. Everything for it had to go thru TI. Until the crash of the 80s did people really start to figure out how to bypass and make software and hardware for that system. Now if someone could “hack” a better OS for the dead and/or ding Apple products. Just think of running some sort of Linux, Android, or any other open source OS on it. But that would cut into Apples bottom line, and then all the fanboys/girls wouldn’t “want” to have the “latest and greatest.”

150 years before all cars are electric? How about 10 or 20! Indeed, the suckers that bought the Model S may be sorely disappointed if they find their cars won’t run Tesla OS 2023 and they refuse to charge.

And this is why vinyl never died. They TRIED to force its obsolescence, but they failed.

And now it’s BACK (and BOY, IS IT PISSED!)

As for the gasoline analogy – give them 150 years, and all cars will be electric. They will need new operating systems and your 8 year old Toyota will not be able to use the new OS, rendering it quite obsolete.

Except in the Australian Outback, where Max Rocketansky will drop a blown interceptor motor into it and hunt down murderous rape gangs.

All kidding aside, I hate this type of crap, too.

Well said, indeed. Although I have never used my C64 for a news feed, it’s nice to know I can if I want to. Nobody should have to purchase the new thingy just because it’s new and renders the old one obsolete. I still have the Ipad 2, and really it’s not too far off from the latest IPADs, a little slower, but it is still usable for some things. Great points.

Uncle Buddy could sleep with that tv on all night. Aunt Linda can sleep in silence and total darkness. I think I would even see the IPad light…but not after next week, eh?
