Apple Matters interviews Peter Rojas

#16, yeah I read it...and I really still don't want a thumbboard on the iPhone, neither does Steve or "Jony" Ives. They suck a huge amount and wishing for one is like wishing for a 3.5" floppy drive in a macbook.

He's a decent writer but his Podcast is another story. I used to listen but then realized he spent most of the podcast interrupting Ryan with "yeah but... stutter... yeah but..." He seems unable to let Ryan finish a sentence. Ugh. It all got old really fast and I don't listen anymore.

Wow, did any of you folks even read the interview, or is everyone just blindly following the first hater in this thread? Granted there's going to be an inordinate amount of fanboyism here, but why do pundits need to constantly toe the Jobsian line or risk being insulted? In reality, Peter is one of the smartest and most perceptive people I know, and many of his criticisms of Apple TV and the iPhone are right on the money. All of us here at Engadget own and enjoy a variety of Apple products -- a good 90% of us use a MacBook as our primary PC -- but that doesn't mean we think Apple is a perfect company incapable of mistakes -- nor should we.

Oh, and for those of you harshing on Peter's hair: grow up, get a life, and stop being so bitter about your own premature baldness.

He also (at least to my feeble eyes, when displayed on this crappy monitor at work) bears a passing resemblance to Martin Sargent.

Apparently none of you geniuses actually read the interview. Here's what he said:

"The iPhone is most definitely a much-needed fresh take on what a phone can and should be especially in terms of the user interface. But the iPhone doesn’t do anything that new, it just does old things in new ways and that’s what is exciting."

That hardly sounds like bashing to me, and he clearly recognizes that it's innovative. He's just point out that the iPhone does a lot of the same things that other phones do -- make phone calls, play music, browse the web, take pictures -- it's just doing them better and with a new interface.

Peter Rojas is a stupid dork. HIs Engadget podcast is soul-draining ... his ignorent whine makes you want to take a hammer to your iPod.

Who the F**ck is he to say Apple isn't innovating with the iPhone? In my estimation the iPhone is the most innovative piece of tech to come out in more than five years. Peter is like those kids in high school who think they are cool by putting down everyone else. Somehow only "they" get it, and the rest of us are just stupid, boring lemmings. Well, it takes a lot more than a gay haircut to know what you are talking about Peter. So please do us all a favor and shut your stupid-opinion-filled piehole.

Listen to Padriac. He knows what he's talking about. After all, he's one of Rojas's "ladies."

;-)

Make fun of him all you want, but that dork is getting way more play from the ladies than the lot of you put together.

I thought it was the Mac guy, too, at first. But, alas, I was wrong. He is apparently a dork – from the planet Dorkon.

Is it just me, or does he sorta look like a slightly-scruffier Justin Long (aka The Mac Guy)?
