Seth's Blog: Jumping the gun
Seth gets a lot of flak, especially an HN. I understand the reasons, I think, though I don't entirely agree.
In any case, I think he's right on the dot here. He's positioned himself to be excited by potential overturning of any status quo in his sphere. If Apple releases something that results in a medium, he wants to explore what that means.
Closing comment is the money quote. I guess he isn't burning any bridges.
Wow, the gun jumped twice in one day by two separate individuals... I really hope this is just controlled leakage by apple. Otherwise the Gustapo are on their way...
