I’ll tell you the analogy I used with a friend today when she asked me why Apple Maps is inferior to Google Maps: if Maps were a novel, Google would write its book from line one on page one, refining the prose along the way, and only stop when it reached the last period on the last page. Google would write the book through completely, telling the entire story as best as possible. Google’s writers would be Proust and Tolstoy and Hemingway.
Apple’s book, on the other hand, would be cut and pasted together from 20 other already written books (fiction, non-fiction, Sears catalogs from 1993), hoping overlays matched and not caring if the editor turned on spellcheck or not. The editor of Apple’s book would be E.L. James.

The first Smart Camera, or Phone Camera. Whichever you like.

There’s no hard business reason to replace the Cube. It wasn’t falling down, tourists weren’t looking at it dismissively, and it won’t lead to an immediate increase in profits. Apple is replacing it for no reason other than that they found they could push the boundaries of glass and have chosen to manifest that innovation. That’s what we love, and soon—date TBD—that’s what Cube-goers will get to see.
The new designs look gorgeous. Fitting for the most photographed attraction in NYC.
All cool factors aside, unless you’ve been waiting to videochat or have a code-reader, today’s iPad 2 announcement may have just made the original iPad the best tablet on the market for the money.
No one has had complaints about the iPad’s speed. Black bezel is still cool. The size decrease is only marginal, the weight decrease is even less.
64GB WiFi + 3G iPad could be as low as a few hundred bucks as of March 11th. Hmmm.
Simple and smart.
