Who Cares About an MP3 Player?

I can’t be bothered to actually write about the iPad; too many incredibly intelligent people have done that already, you can read what they have to say. If you’re looking for something to listen to, Leo Laporte’s MacBreak Weekly 177 had a load of clever folks.

However, I would love you to read this MacRumors thread:

iPoop… iCry. I was so hoping for something more. Great just what the world needs, another freaking MP3 player. Go Steve! Where’s the Newton?! Why oh why would they do this?! It’s so wrong! It’s so stupid! gee! an mp3 player with a HD! how original! kinda reminds me of a JUKEBOX i once knew..

People got pissed off, angry and felt disappointed when Apple first introduced the iPod in 2001. You know, the iPod? That shitty little thing that currently holds the majority market share of MP3 players?

Who?

My name’s Alex Muller.

I’ve completed two years of undergraduate study (in Computer Science and Maths) at the University of York.

I worked at GlaxoSmithKline, a large pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare company, from July 2010 until September 2011.

I'm nearly finished my final year of university, in which I learnt loads of Python, a ton of probability & statistics and took a course titled “Crypto, Attacks & Countermeasures”. And I had an incredibly fun final-year project to boot.

It’s brill. I've loved this year so much that I had to look up the source of a quote that keeps coming to mind. Turns out it's apparently Confucius: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
