Far away in America, wonder company Apple's wonder-CEO Steve Jobs stated last week that PCs will ultimately give way to Tablets...in other words, we will witness PCs being phased out over a period of time. Now, that's a monumental statement..simply because there aren't many folks who are not 'hooked' to PCs. It's so deeply ingrained in our day-to-day lives. And with Apple emerging hugely successful with its iPads (soundly beat analyst estimates etc.), you never know. It could happen. Imagine a sound engineer entering the studios and dabbling with a Tablet (say advanced!)...no PCs at all...grhhh
But good old and nastily noisy Steve Ballmer - Microsoft CEO...he's got this high-decibel voice too that I somehow relate to...was not to take it lying down. He hit back with his customary gusto, ruling out any possibility of PCs disappearing anytime soon. On the contrary, he even roared about the Macs being the 'trucks' - after Steve 'Apple' Jobs had earlier likened the PC-to-Tablet idea to that of 'trucks-to-cars' evolution.
Well, let's wait n watch. Whatever happens, it will surely have a profound effect on the way our 'sound technicians' in the music industry work. With the huge number of Mac-followers here, I don't have to think too deep to realize which Steve they would be having their eyes on:)
Cheers!
