#Pharrell in my mind itunes windows 10
=> Enjoy Windows 8 then or do you think Windows 10 will be better? (and next version of OSX not?) OS X? I'll switch to Windows this year, OS X is terrible lately, plus i want upgradable hardware. => wait, didn't you buy an iPhone 6 Plus and gave it to your mum?
#Pharrell in my mind itunes android
IOS9? Meh, i switched to Android when iphones had small screens. What exactly of a deal did the iTunes "DJs" get in return for working at Apple? Something to think about because this reeks of Jimmy Iovine's hand in this. I know Jobs has passed on but if he were alive, he wouldn't have allowed it and strictly put that concert during the Apple keynote, like he did in the past with U2 ( if memory serves me right ).Īfter all, they have to be paid by the company to be involved in the project and I'm sure they don't come cheap. Remember that Pharrell had in front of Apple's campus not too long ago where Cook danced like a goof? What was that concert for? I'd like to know because it wasn't well publicized on national news. Having 'big name' artists curate other music could be a conflict of interest. And I think this might bite them in the a$$ eventually. Just because Apple has the money doesn't mean they should be using big name artists to make iTunes look good. Dre, Trent Reznor, Pharrell, Drake, and Guetta ranging from iTunes to iTunes Radio. So, what do we have here? They have literally FIVE artists in the company: Dr. Why didn't Apple approach someone else with actual professional credentials to do it? In other words, I'm unsure if he truly has a background in UI design in order to revamp it. My concern is that being in a creative position to redesign iTunes as a streaming service might not justify what Apple is trying to pull off here.
I've admired his early NIN work back in the day and haven't caught up to some of his latest stuff.įun fact is he lived in Shaker Heights, Ohio in Cleveland where I grew up. I'm also aware that NIN's frontman Trent Reznor is on contract at Apple working on iTunes but, to me, he's a professional musician. Using them to curate music is problematic in the sense that they might curry favor to those already in the industry than those who are underground/independent. Now, I've heard of these guys but don't listen to their music.
My problem with Apple's approach to hiring these three artists as DJs seem to be a professional conflict of interest.
