Let’s get back in the time. In the 90s, Apple almost closed its doors. A man called Steve Jobs got back to the company and saved it. The iMac was the greatest idea it could have in the 90s. In the 90s, Brazil was totally broke. An absurd inflation plus many other factors fucked this country up. Brazil also had its savior, and he is called Fernando Henrique Cardoso, or FHC, whatever you prefer. When he was a minister, he fixed the country’s economy by creating a new currency. The Real was a big hit. Prices got stable, people started to be able to buy stuff and the economy was finally fixed. This man became the president one year after he created the Real. Real was Brazil’s iMac.

Before these Steve Jobs and FHC,  there were many people trying to fix the problems in their organizations. People like Gil Amelio and John Sculley tried to save Apple, and they failed miserable. In Brazil, people like Fernando Collor and José Sarney tried to fix the economy, and they failed miserably.

Brazil finally seemed to be going to succeed. When FHC left and Lula assumed the presidency, it couldn’t be worse. Inflation is getting back, Brazil is getting broke again. The national debit is getting higher than high, it’s getting colossal. And we can’t even blame the international crisis at all. While it’s one of the factors which is destroying the economy, it’s not the only one. When Lula was the president, he spent too much money. That moron decided to pay the external debit. He got a lot of loans from Brazilian banks and organizations to pay the external debit. Instead of paying the internal one, something that would generate jobs and progress, that idiot paid the external one. He sent money to other countries instead of investing it here. Not to mention the fact that the interest rate in Brazil is higher than in many other countries.

So let’s talk about how Apple is screwing up again. In the 2000s, Apple was doing fine. Great and cheap products. Developers were treated with love and consideration. It was in the right way.  In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone. In 2008, the App Store was introduced. Apple started to become evil. Developers were treated like crap. Apple started to sue other people just like Microsoft used to do. In 2010, something very evil was introduced. It’s called the iPad. And now Apple wants to discontinue the Mac and sell the iPad as a computer. WTF!? It’s not a computer, it won’t replace a computer. Why, Apple? Why are you screwing up!? The best computer ever invented, the Macintosh, will be discontinued. :(

Solution for both things: find an alternative to them. I can just move away from Brazil(which I’d probably do anyway). And what about the Mac? I don’t see anything that could replace it. The solution will be to create my own OS. In a few years, I hope you guys will see the “Chiaro OS” available for purchase on the stores.
