I’ve always admired Apple’s hardware, even if I think their software is overrated and their PR is infuriating. I found Steve Jobs’ introduction of the MacBook Air rather interesting. Naturally the Air does not have that much available disk space, and there are other tradeoffs. It would not be unusual, however, for this to change in a year or two, but Jobs had an unusual quote:

Responding to a question about the growing array of media, including digital photographs, movies and music, that now swell most users’ hard drives, Mr. Jobs said, “Maybe this isn’t the computer for you.”

WTF?! That goes completely against the whole “My Apple can’t play any new games and has to emulate Windows to run most software, but at least I have iLife” marketing strategy that you usually see coming from Apple. Couldn’t he have just pointed out that people can store media in an external drive? I mean, he pointed out that people can use an external CD/DVD, so it wouldn’t be that odd.

Also, I hate the iTunes software (at least the Windows version).
