Lulz. I have no sympathy for Flash or Adobe. So long!

Our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price.

Bam! That’s their selling point! Somebody gets paid lots of money to write that sentence, and they earn it all, because that sentence will sell several billion of these things.

I had the exact same thought when I watched the keynote today. Jobs even repeated this sentence twice. It’s really impregnating words. Whatever you think of the iPad, you can only agree that this sentence is so right and so well worded: not technical, to the point, and easy to remember. It even sounds like it’s true!

Explaining your product clearly and simply in one sentence is damn hard exercise, and the person who coined that one really did a good job.

Everyone keep asking me if that Brière is from my family. I don’t think so!

Jobs Listens to Mossberg’s Ideas About What’s Wrong With the iPad (via gruber)

In the press area where the demo units were available, Mossberg got to hold court with Jobs for a few minutes. I watched and listened. (If you’re curious, it was obvious that Mossberg had never seen it before, and his concerns seemed mostly about how it will work with Microsoft Office documents.)

Anyway, the whole time, it seemed very obvious to me that Jobs was pissed that Mossberg was sitting on the table.
