Title: Tim Cook and TV
Post by: nwboater on December 06, 2012, 09:36:10 am

This is from an interview of Tim Cook, Apple CEO by Brian Williams to be aired tonight:

“When I go into my living room and turn on the TV, I feel like I have gone backwards in time by 20 to 30 years,” Cook told Williams. “It’s an area of intense interest. I can’t say more than that.”

He obviously doesn't use MC18!

Ha ha!  We'll send him a license if anyone knows his e-mail address.

But then he'll have to buy a PC to play it on - or wait till you have the Apple version running.

We'll send him the first build of the Mac version.

OK.  Thanks.

Now help me draft a message...

Dear Tim,
I've recently been informed that you find TV boring.  It was suggested that I offer you a chance to try our software.  etc.

In closing, I would like to say how pleased I am that Apple has taken a slightly more friendly path toward other developers.  I wish you and yours a very warm holiday season.

etc.

Would Best Regards be going overboard?  Maybe Sincerely would be more understated.

I will say... It isn't unusual for that kind of thing to work, especially with Apple.  In fact, you could argue that an email just like that one is where iTunes came from in the first place (though it didn't work out quite the way the developer wanted or had planned).

Panic is awesome, and if they'd chosen Audion instead of SoundJam, it is possible I'd have never found MC.  So, I guess, Thanks AOL!
