Wait, what?!!
Oh, there we go, another clueless irresponsible journalist spouting nonsense from NI. And given NI's track history of saying nonsense, it hard to figure out if this goodreader journalist just made it up or if Rohan actually said it.
Here's the quote from the source, referencing the mysterious Genesis: "NI has promised millions of dollars in incentives for various things to be developed, but put a hold on the idea"
Did Rohan actually say that or did Michael Kozlowski just make that rubbish up? Either way, that's one awful article with 0 research behind it. I also love the statements about "strong demand", "constantly sold out" and "US leads in orders", I call these "weasel words" which sound good but mean nothing without numbers.
Also, from the article, "Rohan and the boys are really excited about the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and Ice Cream Sandwich", yep, concerns of current users is all rubbish, I know. Who cares while you can string the fans along, just see the 2nd post in this thread. Makes me want to throw up - he even says "Rejoice in the almighty Adam's persona!" What?! Please, someone whip my bare bottom while feeding me nails dipped in glass shards to chew on.
Had Genesis ever been launched, I guess the 'millions of dollars' would have turned out to be monopoly money, justified by another of unfathomable leaps of logic by Mr.Rohan Shravan.
ReplyDeleteOh look, waveform outputs from speakers - Bose vs Yamaha, and next week I will talk about computing in zero gravity.
Another great post. Well by the looks of it Big Chief has [censored] by good e reader. Looking at the way things have been going, The Adam 2 will be new hardware and another set of new elements for NI to blame. Again with Honeycomb, it was stated in the article that the team cited problems with the platform. Why is that every tablet manufacturer out there is rocking Honeycomb, and they haven't had any complaints. With this kind of complaining about the general system that the Chief spouts, it'll be a miracle if Google even hands them ice cream sandwich.
ReplyDeleteAt the rate NI keeps blaming everyone, wont future investors as well as future suppliers and partners be scared of touching NI with a 10 foot pole?
They should have worked on Gingerbread and given us a better platform! Instead they dangled us a bone and threw us refuse. If they had a decent team of developers, they could have given us a working instance of Ubuntu or Gentoo. They had the lead in getting access to the hardware in any case.
ReplyDeletetake a look at http://thetabletpost.com/index.html.
ReplyDeletehis reasoning why NI is not able to delivery 1) google is withholding the source (yeah right, they did for android 2.2 and eden) and 2) ready for drumroll, they are startup.
So whatever they did, we should be thankful to them as they are startup and they did a remarkable job. oh, thats how startups are done.
apple was once a startup, and did you know how good their product was? oh, apple did not have startup excuse.
You are right. It makes me angry that crappy companies like these get away with "startup" tag. There are tons of well run startups with razor like focus and great delivery. The NI fans hide behind the startup skirt, and I read the tabletpost article myself - it's just another attempt to find excuses for a failure.
ReplyDeleteI've got a post coming up - I'm borrowing the term 'Chewbacca defense' for it.
