Aaron Adams’s Blowhard Blog

I’ve read some of the point-counterpoint postings about the gentleman from Cox who asked about the Intel stickers during Apple’s iMac unveiling event Tuesday, and I want to add my little bit. I’m befuddled as to why Apple bothered to have a Q&A session after the event to begin with. The company is famous for responses that are scripted, terse, obvious, and otherwise answer-free. Why did they open the floor to possible questions they knew they had no intention of answering? What person in that room who was familiar with Apple would even bother to ask a question, since they can practically predict Apple’s answers? I don’t understand the point of the whole exchange.
