Steve Jobs & The iPad Ten Commandments

Steve Jobs & The iPad Ten Commandments
January 28th, 2010 by Ron Callari Share Steve Jobs, after having parted the Red Seas of Apple-land with the release of his iPod and iPhone was looking for a new challenge. So while leading the flock of the digerati to the promised land of sweet new gadgets, it was important not to divulge too much in advance. For months while keeping his secret under wraps, his followers thought he had taken ill. Others thought he passed on. But the faithful knew that something miraculous was about to take place.

News and rumors traveled by word of mouth from tribe to tribe, from Twitter to Facebook, from Cupertino to Bangkok and all points in between. For 40 days and 40 nights prior to January 27, 2010, he communed with God. God sure had a lot to tell Jobs. God wanted to make sure that Jobs delivered his new inspirational toy with rules attached, so they could be best instructed how to use this miraculous new device.

So upon return from Mac mountain, Job delivered the much anticipated "iPad" in the form of tablets. And as important as this new innovation was to be for his flock, it was equally important to note that the iPad Ten Commandments that came part and parcel were not so much about what the new iPad offered, but more along the lines of what it would not.
