Keynote dissapointment

Apple, in my lifetime that was by far one of the worst Keynote presentations ever. Once again, you have chosen to ad tons of glitz and glamour to your Operating System, but now down-right new core features! Yes, you’ve made your interface prettier *heh, to some, personally I think the iTunes 7 look is hideous*, but where’s the security updates? Where are the UNIX, Java and other core updates? More importantly, where is PPC support in your future plans? So far, I haven’t seen good evidence of Apple continuing to support the aging architecture. Below is some evidence.

1. Many PowerPC users have found that they cannot install the latest Safari 3 beta, encountering an bleak error saying “cannot be installed”

2. Apple continues to make very spirited remarks about the PPC architecture, and hardly noted Universal Applications in the ‘07 Keynote.
3. The Keynote bragged about the speed of Leopard on Intel, yet failed to mention anything about Leopard supporting PPC.
4. Jobs himself said the transitions over to processors is over, which only means this: depreciated and removing the old product

These and many more reasons conclude why many PPC users feel let down, and down right deserted by the company they bought their computers from. A little over half of Mac users still use the PPC architecture, so many worry about the computer companies, *oh, wait, Apple Inc, my bad* true motives for this new release.

Now for the worst of them all, iPhone. Apple, what the hell are you thinking? You advertise this new product, that does what? A Mac pretending to be a cell phone? Are you trying to pass off another PDA, like the failed idea behind Newton? And worst is that you dedicated time in Keynote for it! I know by now some of you may be fuming, as many seem like the iPhone. But I however, will not be fooled. Our beloved company is following the money, and straying farther and farther from their old goal, “Make the best combination of hardware and software available on the market.” I hope Apple finds it’s light again, or I wonder the company’s future as a computer and Operating System maker *stocks fell 3% from the Keynote*
