UMikhal Marek Ngesikhathi u-Tim Cook esanda kuvela engqungqutheleni ehlelwe yi-All Things Digital, esinazise ngayo, kukhulunywe nangenkonzo ebizwa nge-Ping. Ingosi yokuxhumana nabantu egxile emculweni nasemicimbini ezungezile, ehlanganiswe ngqo ne-iTunes isikhathi eside. Ukuqhubeka nokusekela leli khono lokwabelana ngokuqukethwe komculo, u-Tim Cook ube nalokhu okulandelayo:
"Ngemuva kokucwaninga ngemibono yabasebenzisi, kufanele sisho ukuthi i-Ping akuyona into esifuna ukubeka amandla nethemba kuyo. Amanye amakhasimende ayayithanda i-Ping, kodwa awekho amaningi awo, futhi mhlawumbe kufanele simise le phrojekthi. Ngisacabanga ngakho.'
Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Ping ku-iTunes kuthole impendulo efudumele evela emphakathini jikelele, futhi singaqagela kuphela ukuthi kungani.
Akukho ukuxhumana ne-Facebook
Inkinga yokuqala, futhi mhlawumbe enkulu kunazo zonke, yokuthi kungani i-Ping ingazange ibambe iqhaza phakathi kwabasebenzisi bamadivayisi nezinsizakalo ze-Apple yiqiniso lokuthi akukabikho uxhumano ku-Facebook. Ekuqaleni, yonke into yayikhomba ubuhlobo obunobungane phakathi kwe-Ping ne-Facebook. Ngemuva kokuthi uSteve Jobs ekhalaze esidlangalaleni "ngezimo ezingezinhle" ze-Facebook, u-Ping nezinye izinkundla zokuxhumana bahlehla, bekhathazekile ngemiphumela yokusebenzisana ne-Facebook.
Ukuxhuma nenethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu esetshenziswa kakhulu emhlabeni kuzokwenza kube lula kakhulu ukwenza abangani abasha ku-Ping, futhi sekukonke kungenza le nethiwekhi ifinyelele kubantu abaningi. Kuyacasula ukusesha abangani bakho ngokwehlukana ku-Facebook, ikakhulukazi ku-Twitter, ku-Google+ futhi mhlawumbe naku-Ping.
Ngeshwa, inethiwekhi kaZuckerberg ingumdlali ongenakunakwa nganoma iyiphi indlela, futhi emazweni amaningi omhlaba ishaya ngokuphelele ezinye izinsizakalo ezigxile ngokufanayo. Njengamanje, kunzima kakhulu ukuzenza kulo mkhakha ngaphandle kokubambisana ne-Facebook. Akekho owaziyo ukuthi kungani ikakhulukazi u-Apple no-Ping bengakavumelani nganoma yikuphi ukubambisana okuzuzisanayo ne-Facebook, kodwa kuqinisekile ukuthi abasebenzisi ngokwabo balahlekelwa kakhulu.
Ukusetshenziswa okuyinkimbinkimbi
Okunye okungahle kube phansi ukuthi ukwabelana ngokuqukethwe kwe-iTunes ne-Pign akucacile futhi kulula ngendlela amakhasimende akwa-Apple angathanda ngayo. Kunezinketho eziningi kakhulu kumenyu yokudonsela phansi ekhasini lomculi noma ohlwini lwadlalwayo. Ikhono lokuhlanganisa uhlu lwakho lokudlalwayo lingcwatshwe esitolo se-iTunes, futhi ukucinga ingoma ngayinye ngokuhlukana akulula neze. Ngakho ungakha uhlu lwakho lokudlalwayo ngqo kulabhulali yakho ye-iTunes, kodwa-ke udinga ukuthola ukuthi uwabelana kanjani nge-Ping.
Ukuntula "intelligence"
Kunengqondo ukuthi wonke umuntu aqale afune abangani bakhe nabantu abajwayelene nabo kumanethiwekhi afanayo. Nokho, iqiniso lokuthi umuntu okukhulunywa ngaye ungumngane wakho alisho ngempela ukuthi uthanda umculo ofanayo. Okufanelekile, ngemvume yakho, i-Ping ingasebenzisa ulwazi oluvela kulabhulali yakho ye-iTunes ukuthola umculo wakho owuthandayo bese incoma abasebenzisi nabaculi ukuthi balandele. Ngeshwa, i-Ping ayikabi nawo umsebenzi onjalo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungase kube no-DJ abangochwepheshe ku-Ping abalwazi ngempela uhlobo oluthile futhi abanekhono lokuncoma izingcezu zomculo othakazelisayo emphakathini jikelele. Abanye abalandeli be-rock bazoba no-DJ wabo, abalaleli be-jazz bazoba nezabo, njalonjalo. Yiqiniso, izinsizakalo ezihlukahlukene ezikhokhelwayo zinikeza into enjalo, kodwa i-Ping ayikwenzi.
Ukuthengisa yonke indawo lapho ubheka khona
Inkinga yokugcina kodwa engeyona encane wukumaketha okungenamfihlo okonakalisa umbono wonke. Indawo enobungane iphazanyiswa yizithonjana ze-"BUY" ezitholakala yonke indawo, ngeshwa ezihlale zikukhumbuza ukuthi usesitolo. I-Ping akufanele ibe "isitolo somphakathi" esivamile esinomculo, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke indawo lapho uzojabula khona ukuthola izindaba ezijabulisayo ongazilalela.
Ngeshwa, indawo yokuhweba enamandla ingabonakala lapho kwabiwa umculo ngokwawo. Uma ufuna ukwabelana ngengoma, i-albhamu, noma uhlu lwadlalwayo ku-Ping, umngane wakho angalalela kuphela ukubuka kuqala kwamasekhondi angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye. Uma efuna ukuzwa okwengeziwe, kufanele athenge okusele noma asebenzise enye inkonzo.
Ngikhona ngempela, kodwa angiyimemi
Hhayi-ke, angazi ukuthi kubani eCzech Republic, kodwa uPing akakaze akwazi ukungethula. Ihlala ibika ukuthi "iphutha elingaziwa (-50)" lenzekile.
Ingabe iyasebenza kumuntu one-akhawunti yesi-Czech?
