“The biggest dud since the G4 Cube”

Jon Shea January 27th, 2010
Maybe there’s a killer app on the way, something on the order of VisiCalc for the Apple II, but as far as I can tell, this’ll be the biggest dud since the G4 Cube.

    Worst prediction ever. I think you’ve already lost your argument. They’ve probably already sold 10 million units, just inside peoples heads, and it’s day one. Comparing this to the G4 Cube is like comparing the iPhone to the ZunePhone.

    Out of context quote is out of context.

    I didn’t say commercial dud. For me, it’s a dud. I don’t make predictions about consumer behavior because consumer behavior is irrational.

    When I went to school, I ordered a G4 tower. I got a G4 Cube. I was pissed, and I’d be similarly pissed now if I ordered a White MacBook and got this nonsense machine.
