Pilipo Novotny I nā pule i hala iho nei, ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia ka hui U2 me ka hui ʻo Apple. Ua hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohui i kēia mau mea ʻelua no ka manawa mua i nā makahiki he nui i hala ma muli o kahi paʻi ʻeleʻele a ʻulaʻula kūikawā o ka mea pāʻani iPod. ʻO ka mea hou loa, mahalo i ka hana a ka hui ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka iPhone 6 a me ka album hou Nā Mele of Innocence, ʻo ʻoe pū kekahi ua loaa ia lakou ma kāu kelepona (ʻoiai ʻoe ʻaʻole lākou i makemake). Ua ʻōlelo ʻo U2 frontman Bono e pili ana i ka pilina me Apple i loko ninaninau no ke kahua ʻo Irish 2FM.
ʻO Dave Fanning, ka mea kākau moʻolelo Irish, ma hope o nā nīnau mua e pili ana i ka album ponoʻī, ua hoihoi i ka ʻōlelo hoʻohewa a U2 a me Apple i kū ai ma muli o ke ʻano o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka album. ʻO Bono, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua hilinaʻi ʻole i ka hana ʻino mai nā mea paʻi puke:
ʻO nā poʻe like i kākau ma nā paia o ka halepaku i ko mākou wā kamaliʻi aia i ka blogosphere i kēia lā. Ua lawa nā moʻomanaʻo e hoʻohilahila iā ʻoe i kahi demokala (ʻakaʻaka). Akā ʻaʻole, e ʻōlelo lākou i kā lākou makemake. Kainō? Hoʻolaha lākou i ka inaina, hoʻolaha mākou i ke aloha. ʻAʻole loa mākou e ʻae.
Ua wehewehe hou ʻo Bono i ke kumu i hoʻoholo ai ʻo ia e hana pū me Apple. Wahi a ia, ʻo ke kumu o ka hanana holoʻokoʻa e hāʻawi i ka album i nā poʻe he nui. I kona manaʻo, ua lanakila kāna hui a me ka hui Kaleponi ma kēia. Ua hoʻoiho ʻia nā mele o Innocence e 77 miliona mau mea hoʻohana, kahi i hoʻoulu ai i ka lele rocket i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā album ʻē aʻe. No ka laʻana koho ʻO nā wahine piʻi i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe ma 14 mau ʻāina like ʻole a puni ka honua.
Hiki i nā poʻe i ʻike ʻole ʻia i kā mākou mele ke lohe i kēia ʻano. Inā lawe lākou i ka naʻau, ʻaʻole mākou ʻike. ʻAʻole maopopo iā mākou inā he mea nui kā mākou mele iā lākou i loko o hoʻokahi pule. Akā, loaʻa iā lākou kēlā koho, he mea hoihoi loa ia no kahi hui i lōʻihi loa.
ʻAʻole i noho wale ke kamaʻilio me nā kumuhana o kēia manawa o U2, ua haʻi pū ʻo Bono i kāna mau hoʻolālā no ka wā e hiki mai ana. Me Apple, makemake ʻo ia e hoʻolauna i kahi ʻano hou e like me ka papahana iTunes LP ʻaʻole holomua.
No ke aha ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻohana i kaʻu kelepona a i ʻole iPad e nalowale i kahi honua i hana ʻia e nā mea pena e hoʻohana ana i ke kiʻi? Ke hoʻolohe mākou iā Miles Davis, no ke aha e hiki ʻole ai iā mākou ke nānā i nā kiʻi Herman Leonard? A i ʻole e ʻimi me ka kaomi hoʻokahi he aha kona ʻano i ka wā i haku ai ʻo ia i ke mele? Pehea e pili ana i nā mele, no ke aha e hiki ʻole ai iā mākou ke heluhelu i nā ʻōlelo a Bob Dylan i ka wā e hoʻolohe ana i kāna mele?
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua kūkākūkā ʻo Bono i kēia manaʻo me Steve Jobs:
ʻElima mau makahiki i hala aku nei, aia ʻo Steve ma koʻu hale ma Farani, a ʻōlelo wau iā ia, "Pehea e hiki ai i ka mea manaʻo nui i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i ka hapa nui o nā mea āpau o ka honua ke hoʻokuʻu iā iTunes e like me kahi palapala Excel?"
A ʻo ka pane ʻana o Steve Jobs?
ʻAʻole ʻo ia hauʻoli. A ʻo ia ke kumu i hoʻohiki ai iaʻu e hana pū mākou i kēia, a mākou e hana nei no nā makahiki me ka poʻe ma Apple. ʻAʻole naʻe i mākaukau no nā Songs of Innocence, akā no ka Nā mele o ka ʻike e lilo ana. A he mea hoihoi loa. He ʻano hou kēia; Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoiho i ka mp3 a ʻaihue paha ma kahi, akā ʻaʻole ia ka ʻike piha. E like ia me ka hele ʻana ma nā alanui o Dublin i nā makahiki 70 me kahi album i ka lima Kuʻuna lima e na Pohaku Owili; ʻo ka vinyl wale nō me ka uhi ʻole o Andy Warhol. Ua manaʻo ʻoe ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā ʻoe ka mea piha.
Hiki i ka frontman o U2 ke hauʻoli i ke kumuhana a wehewehe pololei loa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo kāna papahana o ka hui pū ʻana me Apple e like me ka iTunes LP i hāʻule ʻole, ʻoiai ʻo ka makemake nui o Steve Jobs ponoʻī, ʻaʻole i hiki ke huki i nā mea kūʻai aku.
Eia naʻe, hoʻohui ʻo Bono, "He 885 miliona mau waihona iTunes i kēia manawa. A e kōkua ana mākou iā lākou e loaʻa i kahi piliona. ʻAʻole wale ma o ka papahana Product RED, kahi hōʻailona e kākoʻo kālā i ka hakakā ʻana i ka AIDS.
Ma hope o nā mea a pau, i ka pau ʻana o ka nīnauele, ua ʻae ʻo Bono ʻaʻole i loaʻa i kāna hui pū ʻana me Apple kahi ʻano aloha. ʻO ka mea hana iPhone - ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā hui ʻenehana ʻē aʻe - e hōʻoia i ka uku ʻana o nā mea mele no kā lākou hana.
ʻAʻohe mea kūʻē iā Bono, akā ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka iTunes ver. 1 ma lalo o MacOS 9 ʻaʻole hoʻomanaʻo mamao iaʻu i ka pāpalapala Excel hou loa a i ʻole ka pāpalapala 3D-Calc kumu a i ʻole Lotus 1-2-3 mai ka Atari ST mai nā makahiki kanawalu.
ʻO Lotus 1-2-3 ma DOS, e like me nā papahana ʻē aʻe o ka manawa (hoʻohana nui wau iā PC Shell), nani. Ua hoʻomalu maikaʻi ʻia lākou me nā leka ma ka papa keyboard, ʻaʻohe Ctrl a i ʻole Alt a holo wikiwiki loa ... :-)
