OK?
Now, I’m pretty sure that this is supposed to be a dig at NBC for telling Apple and iTunes to go jump in a lake. (I hope my harsh language didn’t trip any WebSense filters.) But it’s like, hard to grasp. It’s not funny, per se. It’s not really poignant in any traditional sense of the word. I guess it gets an A for effort. I mean, the underlying message—NBC doesn’t “get” technology, technology users are “cool”—should play well on Slashdot and Digg, but it’s a little obscure for my tastes.
To sum up: NBC screwed up. Carry on.
A Post-iTunes Fable For NBC [Mike Cane's Blog via The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs]
yep, NBC really screwed themselves if Apple sticks to their words.
It’s not a slap at NBC about iTunes, per se. It’s not even a slap at NBC about online distribution, per se. It’s a slap at NBC for saying that the reason they’re pulling out of iTunes is that iPod/iTunes users are pirates. Ummmmm….Really? So how exactly is taking away a LEGAL way for users to get content going to prevent piracy? What the weird comic-like thing is pointing out is that people want a way to get the content EASILY and would be willing to pay a reasonable price to do it EASILY. If NBC makes it to expensive or too hard then the people will take the less expensive way (illegal download). It’s not legal, it’s not moral, but people will justify it. I could of course be wrong, this could be some apple fan-head with an axe to grind.
BTW – it’s a play on the new show “Chuck”
Not some uber-geek reference to a movie you hadn’t seen.
Maybe you knew that. You seemed a little confused.
Not a play on the new show “Chuck”, it’s shots from the actual show.
The actual show that hasn’t been shown on TV yet.
