Official Obituary of the Personal Computer

The new iMac and "magic mouse" are absolutely incredible. After the patent applications were leaked a few weeks back on Gizmodo everyone assumed the "multi-touch technology" for which Apple were applying was for the new tablet. While it appears we'll have to wait EVEN longer on the tablet, there is no doubt that the new iMac and "Magic Mouse" will likely add to the distance Apple is rapidly putting between themselves and their competitors.

Did I mention that in addition to the multi-touch mouse (Check out a video of the Magic Mouse in action over at Apple's website) you can get the new iMac with a 27" display has "beyond-HD" resolution (2560x1440) and that the monitor is completely seamless (as is everything else on the screen)?

Unreal.

As suggested in the title, Mac grew its share so much more rapidly than its "competitors" (17% growth versus 2% growth) in the last quarter (with half of all Macs sold in the apple store to FIRST TIME APPLE BUYERS) I hearby pronounce the PC, Windows, Dell, Acer, and all the rest: defunct. While they will continue battling for the lightweight $300 laptop/word processing machines they are too far behind to realistically hope to catch up with Apple on any front really.

While these machines were loved by many and provided a great deal of pleasure during their glory years, they have outlived their usefulness.

May the personal computer rest in peace: "goodnight sweet prince".
