I just read a Gizmodo post that mentioned Hypercard. Every time I see or hear this magic word I am worthless for the rest of the day (see a blog post from 2002). Is it even possible that something resembling Hypercard could return to an Apple platform?
I understand this is a rumor, but I like the reasoning. In the Google vs. Apple conflict, companies look for open spaces to create differences. Google is open. Apple is closed. Google offers the App Inventor. Apple has nothing similar. Does Apple have the guts to move back toward the type of machine/software that created the original cult following?
