imo the growth and current size of apple is just purely unsustainable in the short-to-medium term. Apple as a company has made great strides to be where it is now through innovation. First the ipod, later the iphone and a new series of popular macbooks etc, all these were crucial during the last decade for Apple.
Now, however, we have the same thing we see with most companies in this kind of situation: no creative ideas on what to do next.
Iphone 5? After not much more than a year since we got the iphone 4? Ipad 2? A tablet that since the beginning has been playing catch up in terms of functionality with the competition? Constant new macbook revisions with little to none (emphasis on the second) enhancements made to core functionality? I get the feeling this will eventually backfire on them.
Unfortunately Apple has some questionable business practices when it comes to fair pricing and quality of service in countries outside of the "reputable western countries". Because i still don't understand why Apple can push and shove all consumers west of Berlin despite the fact that we are all in the European Union.
About oil.....there is a very...interesting theory picking up in the academic world that oil is a substance that might replenish on it's own accord because....some genetic and chemistry studies have shown that oil does not derive from organic substances. Some theories question whether it does not come from natural geothermal processes from within the earths crust....But like i said earlier, this is just a theory that should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt ;)
But if it were true....oh the looks on the faces of ecologists would be priceless :)
If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...
Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.
