Google trifecta

I got into Google Wave while snowed in this week. When I returned to
the office, Google Chrome for OSX got extensions support. That's 2, a
trifecta takes 3. What's next?

Feral Chimp gets it. The author points out a bunch of internet-fueled gripes about the upcoming iPad, but more interestingly, lists a considerably more important range of complaints that we have NOT heard. No one is complaining about the hardware's performance, just what they deem to be "missing" features. The haters aren't quite grasping that less is more, especially when it makes things simpler, cheaper, more secure, and arguably more effective. The Kindle is a lousy web browser, but that's not it was made to do.

I find it interesting that Apple has not chosen to reveal basic facts about the hardware such as system RAM because it's simply not important or relevant. That reminds me of how Rolls Royce lists the horsepower of its vehicles as "ample."

"Enough" power + elegance to spare is typical Apple. Doing it at half the price of their low-end notebook is a big deal. Backwards compatibility with the App Store is the cherry on top and makes this into a fun thing the day it releases.

If it were released today, I would have already have bought one.
