“Once again, Apple is sitting out the Consumer Electronics Show, and once again, its presence is felt everywhere in the Las Vegas Convention Center,” Rachelle Dragani reports for MacNewsWorld.
“Rumors are still flying regarding the expected emergence of a new form of Apple TV; meanwhile, Google is giving its own television dreams another go,” Dragani reports. “Tablets of all shapes and sizes are also flooding the CES show floor, ready to knock the iPad off its perch.”
MacDailyNews Take: Really, Rachelle? This batch of iPad wannabes is no more “ready” than last year’s. Acer is the only one besides Amazon who has even a slight clue as to what’s needed and their derivative ecosystem is the size of a postage stamp compared to Apple’s.
“As usual, Apple isn’t displaying any wares at the convention. But the company’s presence is still palpable at the show, as its competitors in the tablet, smartphone and computer arenas show their latest products and invite inevitable comparisons,” Dragani reports. “Even the field of TVs is rife with Apple rumor. With Vizio showing off sets that will run on an updated version of Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) TV, and Samsung, Sharp and LG all debuting sets with features such as ‘magic’ remotes, it could appear as though many manufacturers are jockeying for marketshare before Apple launches its not-yet-announced television product or platform.”

One word…Pathetic.
In other news, Schwinn Bicycle Co. has announced that they are ready to knock Ferrari off its perch in next season’s Grand Prix competition.
Hahahahahaha.
Yeah, I had to look up the word ready, thinking it must not mean what I think it means… but alas it does seem like just wishing and hoping to do something doesn’t make you ready to do it. Next I need to make sure I fully understand the word killer. I MUST have had that word wrong for years, or there is an alternative definition that includes a kamikazi dive bomb that does no damage to the intended target.
ready |ˈredē| adjective
1 in a suitable state for an activity, action, or situation; fully prepared:
2 easily available or obtained; within reach:
“Ask Ziggy?” Anything like “Bob?”… LMFAO
“… jockeying for market share before Apple launches …
First one to launch always gets 100% of the market early on, but sustainability is the issue.
Did you know that it’s the 2nd mouse who gets the cheese?
Remember those Microsoft tablets? …
Let ’em scramble.
