hi very nice your site's contents. If this is a nice sharing. Thanks, but for my country because there is no content sites like yours as I would always follow the most liked sites like these and I'm waiting for new issues and explanations.

It's a lot about your passion, isn't it?

I mean, there are people in the world who care a lot about bugs. Tiny little bugs. I can try but studying bugs won't get me up in the morning. Yet these bug-loving people are doing their own bit to better the world by improving our knowledge of it.

As an ex-designer and tech lover, I can give you the perspective that Apple makes stunningly beautiful products that just outright inspire you. They raise the bar so high and twist the surprises so sharply that it takes your breath away. For a designer, it's literally like a breath of fresh mountain air.

There's beauty in there, like there's beauty in bugs for the bug lovers, leaves for the plant lovers and little stamps for the stamp lovers.

I agree, that in the larger perspective, there are big things to think about too. But just because you care about the iPhone doesn't mean you care less about them. It's not such an either/or sum game.

I'm sure there were people who got up early in the morning just to watch the keynote (me) who also contribute to the world. And those who didn't give two hoots and also don't care about making a larger difference.

It's not living to blog; it's living to help others become more productive, or creative, or inspired. Tying yourself up in a medium, i.e. I live to blog, to write, to take pictures, for Apple products, or whatever, is mere consumerism, because none of these are particularly valuable unless you're influencing other people.

I'm glad you've accepted that joy is good, but living merely for it is no better than for the iPhone. You have to go through a lot of pain tribulations to live your best life.

It's just a grand distraction. We are tired of war and tsunamis. That's why we pick up People magazine when we are in the grocery store instead of Time. We want to create a world that is fun.

That's what Apple gives us and I ask “why not?” I'm not a big fan, but if it makes someone excited then run with it because life should be fun and exciting. If it takes us away from the pain then that's a good thing.

Apple events are no different than other events or activities … sports, conventions, off road gatherings, and dare I say … blogging. Yes, Life Dev and other bloggers live for each day to blog … don't you? You wake up each day salivating about what the new day will bring so that you can be the first to post about whatever.

Life is about living it … and hopefully each of us has some compassion about what we do and what we live for. I live to enjoy each day and try to do the best I can at living life.

Apple has not simply created a line of products. They created a line of LIFESTYLE changing products. They have been really good at increasing product adoption because they create products that people can relate to on a human level, versus the ton of products out there that emphasize features. When Mac Book Air came out, you could see the connection, not only did it look cool, but it was light and easy to carry, which everyone wants. I don't own a Mac but this is only what I have observed.
