Apple poised - ready to stick head up butt again
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008Well, this is only in the rumor stage at this point but if it’s true then Apple will no longer be offering displays suitable for use by graphics professionals (unless they have some kind of MIRACULOUS anti-glare technology in the works). So what’s the rumor? The rumor is that Apple has EOLed (End Of Life) the 23 inch cinema display and that it’s going to be replaced with a glossy screen.
You know… when CRTs went away I didn’t miss the glare issue one bit and now we’re going back to it? Does anyone else find this ironic (and yeah I really do think)? Remember anti-glare filters? I wonder how long it will take for those to come back? Maybe that will be my new business only I can sell them for TONS of money by making a photoggraphy grade filter that is neutral.
Apple, since this is still a rumor (although 9 to 5 seems to have a great track record so far) I’ll spare you the toungue lashing for now but if it’s true… WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? (aside from tossing aside graphics professionals because they are no longer your key demographic and do not fit into a strategy of maximizing share holder wealth)?
