[Hidden-tech] Apple Glass Breaking

[Kevin McAllister]

John:

You might read "Steve Jobs". Good sections on the ground breaking material science that went into the creation of the iPad/iPhone. In face, gorilla glass was "fast tracked" at the CEO level at Corning specifically to meet the needs of Apple and the iPhone/iPad.

The fact that Samsung/Google/Amazon/Barnes and Noble/RIM can now make cheaper knockoffs of the look, function and materials of a completely new platform is a tribute to the pioneering engineering, programming and visioning done for them by Jobs and the Apple team. It is a bit amazing that those companies release products with the same shape, same dimensions, same color, same edges, same materials, same icons, same GUI look, same developer program, same product store - and then somehow pretend they have come up with some great new technological breakthrough.
(This is not to say that Apple is without labor problems, or other flaws...just that the iPhone, iPad, iTunes, iPod were new platforms.)

Your question sounds like the PC/Windows FUD that came out weekly in the eternal Mac/PC wars.

Please don't take this as an attack on you. Sometimes I am just amazed by the tech press and what gets asked and discussed. 

feeling cranky today....
