It is often said that we should let go of the trivial matters that cause sorrow and focus on the delightful moments in life. I\u2019ve tried and gained some degree of success, but there are at least a few seemingly trivial things that upset me at this moment.<\/p>\n
1. Apple products innovate less these days.<\/strong> For the past few years iPhone has been upgraded with boring new features: fingerprint sensors, better and better camera, 3D touch, fitness tracking, etc.. (Who fuxking care about their health?) They\u2019re handy, but they\u2019re not innovative. As for iPad, since its debut in 2010 it has dominated tablet sales, remaining to be the only real tablet that matters. But given the release of Windows 10 (which fixes the mess Microsoft created in the past few years, under Steve Ballmer), I can see that the future of computing is not towards the post-PC concept introduced by SJ, but the modern hybrid PC best demonstrated by Surface Pro.<\/p>\n This worries me: Apple is no longer the driving force of computing innovation. True I\u2019m very impressed by the latest super thin MacBook \u2014 elimination of all but one port and fanless design, but that innovation is too little, too late.<\/p>\n 2. Kai leaving DRTV<\/strong> 3.

\nThis wasn\u2019t so obvious at first, but reading about Microsoft’s latest hardware event<\/a> made me realize, reluctantly, that the tech company that innovates nowadays is Microsoft, not Apple.<\/p>\n
\nWhat is DRTV? It\u2019s my fav YouTube<\/a> channel on photography. It\u2019s not known for being informative or accurate in its product reviews, nor the photography knowledges it introduces. It\u2019s really just Kai\u2019s showmanship that entertains. He has now left HK for England, doing some occasional reviews there. But given that Digitalrev is posting online recruitment<\/a> for a new presenter, Kai\u2019s leaving is all but confirmed. This again upsets me. It\u2019s like ER\/Desperate Housewives\u2019 ending all over again.<\/p>\n
