And all we got from that are crappy PC's and overpriced phones... bleh.
Hooray for oil!


i wouldn't say overpriced phones as google is really letting android get out of control

Mac's i get though we are slowly seeing that most consumers are submissive and don't use most of the freedom of open platforms.

 

as for oil,i say the more it falls the better,electric cars ftw.atleast we stop war for sometime in this world

Oil is involved in far more things than cars (agree on the electric move, but oil isn't going anywhere)... and Apple could vanish tomorrow and simply get replaced by the far superior products out now. It'd be good riddance...

Oil isn't goin anywhere... soon. 

 

As for Apple simply being bad, as you claim.

 

They focus on build quality, quality of user experience/interface, aesthetics, portability. These things cost money, of course. You may not care about these things, but many people do. That does not make them bad products. Compare Apple laptops to the VAIO range, or to any of the other brands that focus on quality.

It better not or we are all just about fucked.  Almost all modern medication is created using Petro (in some form or fashion) this includes basically all synethic "natural" herbs. 

I am not a huge fan of Apple, but you have to give them some respect.  Going from a Company that peaked at 10ish Million (before almost going bankrupt) to a contender for Most Valuable (money wise) company in the world?  Its amazing.

 

if only the US government wouldnt have split up Standard Oil....  Hell, they would be right around the value of Japan and China.
