Messiahs are often brought down by their own people.
Gandhi fought for Hindu-Muslim unity; was killed by a Hindu in the process.
Steve Jobs was thrown out by John Sculley, who was actually smitten by his charisma.
Jesus too..
The dialogue in the movie The Dark Knight - You die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain - does come true in many cases.
You would work hard for your people, they'll make you God.
You continue working hard for them, and soon a point comes where they get suffocated by either your omnipotency or under the weight of your good deeds.
Steve Jobs and his team sure did a great job of getting out the iPad.. And what a wonderful price point.
However, there are some things that the iPad v1.0 lack. As with the original iPod and the iPhone 2G, the most desirable features will surely show up in iPad v2.0
Shortcomings of the iPad:
-- No camera. Thus no way to video chat using Fring. And why hasnt Apple bundled its own iChat and Photobooth with the iPad.
-- No multitasking. Maybe we would have to jailbreak the iPad again to use the Backgrounder.
-- iPhone control. Somehow, I want to be able to make calls from my iPad through my iPhone. Somehow..
-- Support for the Mac OS X apps. Sure the App Store apps are fun. But I think that they are just that - fun. I want to be able to do serious work on the iPad. It would be the only device I would carry to my office.
-- Bluetooth headset support. Just picture this situation where you want to voice chat with a friend over Fring. Would you hold up the iPad up to your lips (as if sipping from a plate) ??

Hey, check out the earth-shattering speed that I am getting from my ISP for the last 12 days..
I have a package for Rs. 500 p.m. from 24Online, and I am supposed to get 256kbps with a 10GB limit.
However, for the last 12 days, the speed is blazing like anything, while the limit remains at 10 GB.
Ain't it awesome ??
Please try to watch this beautiful 3D video, in spite of your pathetic Indian ISPs...

Here's the phone that started it all..
Check out the yuck-ness with which Steve Jobs introduces the ROKR..
No Shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels differently goes voluntarily to the mad house....
All are clever and know everything that has ever happened: so there is no end of derision. All still quarrel, but are soon reconciled - else it might spoil the digestion....
"We have invented happiness," say the last men, and they blink.
From Friedrich Nietzsche to John Rawls the cunning con continues.
The intellectual, smug in the superiority of someone else's ideas, thinks he is smarter than the rest of us. It is enough to make a rational person stop ... and think.
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
– Robert A. Heinlein
