Mister Jobs's challenge

[tunepoet]

All due respect Jeffca, I did not read any of what you have criticized into Clouvel’s snippet. I read it to simply suggest that the new Mac Mini is poised to be another Apple revolution consistent with the success of the iPod. Nowhere did I get the sense that Clouvel was suggesting that the new Mac Mini was intended to rescue Apple from some sort of financial dire straights, only that Apple is banking on the Mac Mini to draw more windows users to
Macs.

I read this article to suggest that the success of the iPod has produced an Apple momentum in the eyes the typical computer user, which makes the introduction of the Mac Mini a strategically practical one. "You love the iPod? You will love the Mac Mini as well!"

Apple is flying high right now with the iPod, and one might say the risk is in making too many bold and shocking product statements, too quickly. Do you take baby steps and release the Mac Mini, 2 years from now, and hope the public will still be ready for the next new hot Apple product, or do you strike while the iron is hot in an effort to capitalize on the momentum of the iPod?

Apple has decided for the latter rather than the former, and as sometimes the former works better than the latter, suggesting there is risk involved is not inappropriate. But as is often the case with Apple, risk is just a financially correct term to toss around before the hot new product breaks all sales records before it.

And please have mercy on my syntax. My ability to scramble syntax is only rivaled by my inability to construct grammatically correct sentences.

Blessings,
Damon
