I am an Apple devotee. iPad, iPhone, Macbook Air, iMac, iPod...90% of the time, Apple nails it with advanced technology, ingenious and shrewd design, and future claiming innovation.



But, I am sad to say, these...

will be one of the 10% that are FAILS.



What dumb, short sighted, technocratic buffoon thought that these sonic earrings would be a good idea. One observer has already nailed it by exhalting people NOT to buy them. Wait a couple of weeks and train and bus floors will be littered with them.



On top of the utter failure to take into account that they will be highly vulnerable to loss, misplacement and constant dropping, said snot nosed designer thought it would be equally smart to have to CHARGE the damn things. I already have a wireless headset I rarely use because it needs constant charging. Around 10 years ago, the world witnessed a large proportion of its citizens walking around with a flashing piece of plastic stuck in their ears so they could talk and walk simultaneously. Where are THOSE brilliant pieces of junk now?



This will join the Newton, the Portable Mac and Power Mac as one of their epic misfires.

My son is an Apple fan, but it's not what I am used to. My next phone might be an IPhone.

Apple sends jobs overseas and they are considered cool by leftist hypocrites. Suncor keeps mortgage paying jobs in Canada and they are greedy and hated. What the hell am I missing?

Suncor is necessary for human health, wealth and overall well being. Apple the gadget maker, not so much.
