Blackstone and iPhone? I’m Sick of Both
You know when you’ve reached the ISP - the Information Saturation Point? I’ve reached it with both Blackstone and iPhone. If I read one more article rehashing the same old stuff, or seeking to make some “insightful” point that has already been made 345 times I might barf. Truly. I can’t bear to see another picture of Steve Schwartzman; I just can’t. Or commentary around his stupid 60th birthday bash. And the iPhone? Yeah, Steve is great, the idea is great, the features seem cool, blah, blah, blah. It’s just that I’m getting ill with every “new” story I read. PC Magazine ran a great article on this today titled Shut Up About the iPhone, Already, and I couldn’t agree more:
Anyway, I digress from my point, which is that this week is going to be
pathetic. Articles like the “insanely easy” analysis or the “it factor”
piece are going to be coming out daily. Wake me when it’s over. I’ve
even told all my writers on the Dvorak blog that this topic is dead and
verboten until the friggin’ phone actually comes out! Sheesh.
Indeed. It’s getting old, friends. Are we all really that bored that we seem compelled to read this crap? And what about Blackstone? Are they not in the paper every-single-day? Of course they are. And I’m getting ill. Aside from my “I told you so” piece on the BX post-IPO price reaction, I’m done. Enough is enough. I am drawing a line in the sand. Just say no. No more Blackstone. No more iPhone. For the good of our civilization and our collective sanity.
