Re: One year later...

[Tim Wilson] "I continue to maintain that Apple did the roll-out EXACTLY right. "

I'm not disagreeing Tim, at least not entirely, I just want to know, "EXACTLY right" for whom??? That's a BIG statement that you've been making for a while here, and I think it bears at least some detail or explanation.

For example, if a huge asteroid did in fact strike Earth millions of years ago, as the story goes, the violent cataclysm that ensued had untold negative consequences for many of Earth's inhabitants, but it ultimately did benefit many others. So, to say it was "EXACTLY right" would apply to some, but not all. Clearly, it does not seem to have been EXACTLY right for most of the dinosaurs, but it was just right for many other species. :)

And BTW, though I've clearly created the perfect opening for some wise-ass Cows here to compare non-FCPX believers to the dinos, I don't think it would be wise for most here who aspire to work in the big show, as there are still plenty of dinosaurs running things who have not gone extinct just yet. Anybody want to call Walter Murch a dinosaur? Want to do it to his face? :)
