James Bond. Still cool after all these years. Cool gadgets. Sleek design. Works most every time.Started also thinking how much like Apple the 007 franchise is. Cool gadgets. Sleek design. Works every time.
And how would Microsoft come to life on the big screen? It wouldn’t. It’d only make it to TV as Get Smart. Think about it.
Apple is: cool products that are easy to use and out of the way until you need them. Microsoft is well, none of those things generally. (Zune notwithstanding), but who else but Bill Gates could invent the Cone of Silence? The shoe phone? An organization named KAOS?
An entrance to headquarters requiring you to go through 26 doors, the end at which, you drop through the floor. Hymie the robot is tech support. Talk about art imitating life.
Naw. Gimme Bond and his one-touch ejector seat any day of the week. Because you know Jobs invented a device which allows James to land wrinkle-free with iPod in one hand, martini in the other.
His 007ness perhaps shaken, but not stirred.
