2017, Tech and My Random Thoughts (ie let me take a try at this product cycle thing!)

Well. been a while since i've posted a tech related blog post.  Tonight I plan to do my usual; rant about what the big companies are doing wrong. ;)  Apple. oh shit... your in trouble....

2017... the year the companies that benefitted most by listening to core audience decided they didn't need us... and sunk deeper and deeper into innovation-LULZ.

yea.. Apple... 2 in 1 is the future.  Again, just make a really shitty prototype of a macbook air and ipad pro to the geek blogs.... your stock will rise upon that leak alone.. no really.. you are avoiding a market that will continue to grow and evolve beyond anything you can even try to offer.  going all in on the iPad was a bad idea.  Laptops still fuel the core of the computing world. I am our companies Citrix/XenApp admin/architect/creator/implementor and a VDI of Win10 vs running  a full blown OS on a device natively is still NIGHT AND DAY.  Yea, it's 2017 but there are still areas where internet coverage sucks or is non-existent.

If Apple would have announced a 2-in-1 Macbook Air and iPad Pro in the last 2 years; it's market share in the business world would not be declining as it is.  I have personally seen the use cases of iPads replacing laptops go from 10-20 a year to now... ZERO.  Our company just upgraded to Windows 10 and new hardware.  We went all out and went w/the Lenovo X1 Yoga w/Core i7, 16GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe.  Hardware-wise this X1 KILLLED EVERY MAC OUT.  Apple, iPads are a fad and that will be replaced w/a true reader based OLED tech VERY VERY SOON! All non PC based tablets have a limited life; and it's shrinking each day.   Laptops will be here for a good 10 more years.  Smartwatches are finally moving towards what i imagined 3 years ago but the patterns of evolving have slowed recently but now again are being ignited.

My true vision of what a 'smartwatch' really is will be envisioned in the next 3 years; my desktop pc will run on my wrist and i will power it by being human and moving and kinetic energy along w/a QI wireless battery pack i most likely wear as a belt. *COUCH* ANKER!! did you ever read my idea and email about a the smart belt that is really just a flexible 10,000mAh battery backup device w/QI fabric pouches you put in your pants to let you charge your devices w/QI anytime they are in your pocket?

Calling it now, called this 2 years before inception/implementation.  Seriously... any tech company want to give  a person who can give them a vision of a product from inception/prototype/pilot/beta/mass production? i think i could do it.  give me a chance on a product Google or Apple. I've been a proponent of AR for now over 6 years. Hell... i bought Google Glass and was left in the dark less than a year later....  then again what do i know... not like i blog my predictions and have been pretty spot on for the last 10 years... just saying.. DirecTV Now..   suggested that over 10 years ago. ;)
