Eat Less Fruit

Apple had an event today when they presented a range of new product updates and a new little box which will make your television do some useful things.

Apple is scary. I have used their products for about twenty years, and I will go on doing so, but it is not my own choice. The problem is that they have an absolute monopoly. If you want a useful computer, there is only one brand available - and that is Apple. If you want an mp3-player that is not ugly, there are a few ones available: iPod, iPod nano and iPod shuffle, and they all come from Apple. If you want an intuitive and safe way of buying music online there is only one provider, and that is iTunes from Apple.

I really wish there had been at least one more high quality electronics and media provider.
