Internet nerds love their technology. So much so they are easily offended when something tech related runs counter to their tastes. If a news site posts a story related to technology, you can bet your ass that some self-centered clown will show up on the scene believing he has the most fucking awesome technology opinions ever in the history of technology opinions. And he's going to tell you all about it whether you like it or not.
The Chicago Tribune posted this item on their tech blog earlier today. As soon as I saw the link on the front page of the Trib's website, I knew there had to be a little something waiting for me. I was right. Meet Chuck:
Let's see . . . clunky interface compared with iPhone, much more expensive apps
(the cheapest are $2.49, as opposed to most on Apple being 99 cents or less),
1/25th the number of apps, including missing many of the apps most used by
business users who presumably favor Blackberry (e.g., a Twitter program), clunky
payment mechanism compared to iPhone (several clicks versus one), no automatic
update of apps like iPhone. Yes, it's the first day, but Blackberry has been
working on this and touting it for months. Does this remind anybody else of the
Storm disaster - rushing to market a disastrously flawed imitation of the iPhone
or its apps?
Chuck starts out with the hallmark of all-knowing internet nerds. "Let's see." It just screams, "I have a list of things I would have done differently, despite being too big of a fucking loser to get a job with RIM that would allow me to make decisions that matter. Even though nobody asked, I'm going to give you my list, bitches."
Chuck, you suck.
