Mind you, I am taking the best quarter Apple has ever seen versus the first one where Microsoft recovered from a profit decline. I hate Microsoft as much as any tech person, but Apple is just infinitely worse. This why it's good if Apple goes and burns in hell: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2010/mar/09/bild-iphone-app For someone who sees death, doom, and decay in everything anytime anyone does anything affecting people I would have imagined that something like that would majorly piss you off, but I guess you aren't too consistent and seem to chery pick issues to whine about. |

Apple is about to pass MS with money in the bank (at 40 billion). With the iPad being an obvious success (they just ordered 3 million more screens from Samsung), Apple should do very well.
And why would a closed system piss me off? See, I am all about choices. If Apple does something I don't like, I sell my phone, and go get an Android. Simple free market working. What would suck, is if I had no choice at all ;)
And you think I see nothing but death, doom, and decay in everything? I think you have lost it.
