Next big thingamajob
Jonathan just pointed over to today’s manufactured controversy: what platforms are capable of producing the next big thing. Yahoo’s in-house blog-pundit (blundit?) Russell Beattie made this cryptic post on Saturday that initially had Mac die-hards agreeing, noses in the air:
“If someone’s using a PC to demo the Next Big Thing…
… then it’s not the next big thing.â€
The next time you’re in a meeting or at a Silicon Valley barbecue or whatever, please feel free to quote me.
But of course, Beattie wasn’t promoting Macs at all (though he’s a reluctant user himself). He meant the next big thing will come from a mobile device.
I, of course, believe that next big things will be platform independent. We’ll use it on all manner of devices in different ways.
