I find that there are certain parts of the web that I am drawn toward less and less. This could be maturity, a lack of time, or just that they are no longer interesting. Mostly, it is because I just can’t find a connection with the writer.

One of those places on the web I no longer frequent is sites of web developers. Another such place is application developers. It seems my desire to learn about the creation of content about content creation has come to an end. No real reason for this, just an observation of how I spend my time.

This could be because the creation of applications and web sites are now so commonplace, and the tools so simple to use, that there just isn’t the greatness associated with “getting a website!” It doesn’t take a genius to code up an iPhone app, or to make yet–another text–based to–do application. It just takes time and the ability to market well.

One of the recent trends in marketing was blogs. Sadly, it appears that real–time web is going to make even blogs seem slow. Google will get you to the data (and the answers) as fast as it used to take think up the question. This makes it seem like even blogs are becoming inessential. Especially blogs about coding for blogs that market to people who want to know how to code for blogs.

I’m not sure it’s the lack of time that keeps me away, now. With constant iPhone-y internet, I’m a couple of clicks from anything. It isn’t the lack of enthusiasm and topics from the writers, either. I think it’s because I just don’t need them anymore. Content about the construction of tools to create content has become inessential.

A while ago I whined about the inability to block certain iPhone apps. Luckily for me, Apple saw fit to just remove the questionable apps themselves. So it’s “good for them, good for me,” right? Or is it?

It comes down to this: Apple can do whatever they want to with their store. It’s their store. Nobody can tell them what to do with their store. Other than just not purchasing Apple products, consumers have no say in what Apple does with their services.

So, there.

None, at all. Could hardly care less.

It had to be said.

I care nothing for implications for Apple in the laptop–replacement milieu, nor their impending fight with Amazon’s Kindle. Nor, do I care anything about Apple’s continued use of touch technologies.

If one were to ask me if Apple is creating another G4 Cube, I would have to ponder how little I care about the situation, in total. This is a product that does not concern me. The state of the company does not rest with either my love for or hatred of this new piece of hardware.

It is made by Apple, big deal. They also make mini DVI to VGA adaptors, should I pontificate on that? No. No, I should not, because I care nothing about the laptop–to–display adapter segment of Apple. Nor, do I care about the iPad sector of Apple.
