I learned to do it way back in high school with Flash 5, or turn off the music.
It’s really good written and I fully agree with You on main issue, btw. I must say that I really enjoyed reading all of Your posts.

If they are linking from the comment, I would consider it spam. If they post a comment, and it is on topic, be glad someone saw your blog and thought enough to post to it. http://www.hayda.net/

Have you noticed some common denominators with Apple’s products? For one, they’re really expensive. Secondly, they’re unique in design. Thirdly, they are not that perfect in terms of features. What’s ironic however is that people around the world still crave to have a Mac, an iPod, etc.

I think that the iPod really, really propelled Apple into the big time. Before that, they were doing well with their PC’s and all but it was the iPod that made them really, really popular again and well known. Only a few geeks would rate Apple before that, now everyone thinks Apple is absolutely brilliant and people will be happy to buy expensive laptops just because its Apple (and actually get less for more money). Me, though, I just buy a normal laptop and install Linux Ubuntu – works just as well (for a LOT less!)

George that is a valid point and a good bit of history. It’s almost hard to imagine how close Apple came to losing it back then.

Leigh I might have to take a second look at pages. Maybe I’m just ingrained with Word. A good subject for a future blog post though.

Good article, it made me think about some of the stupid moves Apple has made in recent times– I wonder how these moves will Benefit Apple…

As for the whole pages vs word discussion…

I’m a mac fanatic and admire pages and its simplicity, it works how you think it would like the other Apple apps unlike word which puts all the complicated (and often uneeded) options in your face…

BUT Pages has a long way to go yet, its very much an Apple app, but it has its quirks and relies too much on the inspector.
It seems that all the complicated options Apple doesnt want to look at it just shoves lazily into the inspector with little refinement… like how do I change that *&^%^# margin?

It needs to better implement some of the more complicated features into its interface such as better margins and rulers, and the ability to change font without opening up another dialogue box.
Also … hyphenation is always on by default! and I wish I could turn it off permanently… theres a lot Pages could learn from Word without going overboard (eg– I like Word’s create a table system better where it lets you visually choose no of rows/columns as you create the table) .

[…] Webomatica is still recovering from the wave of double digg destruction that swept in last weekend. It started with my first ever digg front page story, Seemingly Stupid Apple Moves That Were Actually Brilliant. The resulting “digg effect” took my site down. I then wrote another blog post Digg Destroys Webomatica, which also hit the digg front page, ironically destroying my site once again. This all happened over three days. […]

[…] To summarize, last week Thursday I submitted a link to one of my blog posts, Seemingly Stupid Apple Moves That Were Actually Brilliant, to Digg, a popular social bookmarking site. The “digg effect” of tons of Digg users wanting to read that story crushed my blog software (WordPress) and my hosting provider took my site down. It was pretty much disabled all of Friday and into Saturday morning. […]

Arbuzz… at times I won’t deny that perspective… in the mid 90s when it looked like Apple was toast I very nearly bought a PC. Even when Steve Jobs took over and started changing things it was pretty nailbiting.
