3. April 2010
On this,the launch day for what some would call a revolution in technology ,I find myself both underwhelmed and a bit surprised at Apple’s bold and undoubtable lack of innovation. For a company known for pushing the envelope and setting the bar that all other tech companies will race to fall under,this feels more like [...]
