Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple

I haven’t written anything in a while. Mainly because I didn’t have much to say. And honestly, there isn’t much I’ll be able to say here that hasn’t already been said by others. But shit, this guy changed my life so I wanted to say something.

I have no idea where I would be if I didn’t ask my parents to get me a Mac for Christmas all those years ago. But I can tell you this:

I wouldn’t be a short film maker. I wouldn’t have made this EP with my best friend. I wouldn’t have designed this blog. I wouldn’t know how to code websites from scratch. Obviously, with this facility, there is nothing to wait for a long time to get your computer’s problem fixed. female viagra samples http://davidfraymusic.com/project/watch-david-fray-and-jacque-roviers-qobuz-interview/ Erectile dysfunction is a problem wherein men do not get strong erection or http://davidfraymusic.com/events/st-petersburg/ generic super cialis erection at all. Then start a regular exercise program to improve your general health, strengthen your muscles purchase cheap cialis http://davidfraymusic.com/bach-concertos-for-2-3-4-pianos-is-classic-fms-album-of-the-week/ and of course, along the pathway of the adjacent nerve root itself resulting in arm pain or leg pain through a process called referred pain or radicular pain. One only wants to deal with reputable manufacturers and dealers tadalafil order davidfraymusic.com who will not sell customers products that are not good at guessing the sizing of a capsule, find a ruler that measures millimeters, centimeters and inches and measure the width, height and length of the capsule. I wouldn’t be working at the best job I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t be learning to program as I design/develop my own product. And since owning a Mac led to all this, I probably wouldn’t be married to my wife.

So in a sentence: Steve, you changed the world as I knew it and for that, I can’t thank you enough. I truly wish you well in whatever comes next.

You can’t buy apps for people.

iTunes lets you gift someone an album.

But if you were thinking about buying someone a late Christmas present and that present just might have been an app from the new App Store, let me crush your dreams now and save you the pain of this discovery:

It made me realize you can’t gift someone an app from the iPad or iPhone app stores either. This seems like a missed opportunity to me. How many apps would have been gifted over Christmas had this feature been available and highlighted?

I locked myself in.

Benjamin W.

September 28, 2010

I’m locked in to all kinds of crap. My mac, iPhone, FreshBooks, Backpack, etc. But I’m locked in by choice. I wouldn’t even want to leave if I could. I love these tools. They’re a joy to use and have become indispensable to what I do. This is the best kind of customer loyalty there is.

I can’t believe that in the age of twitter, blogging and yelp, we can’t find some way to overcome the incredibly terrible service we get from Telcos and ISPs.

AT&T should have bought GrandCentral and turned it into a free product like Google Voice. Verizon should have such good customer service that a 2 year contract isn’t even required because you wouldn’t leave if you had the chance.

That’s something people can learn from Apple. They’re a product based company. There’s more competition in the product area. They know they have to respond and so they’re constantly innovating to stay ahead of that competition.

But with Telcos, they know they have you by the balls for two years. Oh, what a beautiful day it will be when I stay with my ISP out of loyalty.
