My comments

  • Commenting on a product that has not and may never be released based on specs from the rumor mill is pointless.

    Oh? Did I write something obvious?

    All my apologies. In reply to: "Is an Apple 'tablet' just a bigger iPhone?"

  • It never fails to surprise me how some people think that misinformation will change people's preferences.

    Just because you have an Internet account, doesn't mean you forfeit the right to allow people to make up their own minds. Or did you miss that? In reply to: "AT&T has refurbished 16GB iPhone 3Gs for $49"

  • Oh. So consumers are basically, stupid, but at least not as smart as you are.

    Thanks for the tip. In reply to: "AT&T has refurbished 16GB iPhone 3Gs for $49"

  • Take a reality check.

    With or without the discount, Apple has demonstrated such a strong brand recognition, that they have nothing to worry about regarding their holiday sales.

    If nothing else, the possibility will bring even more people to the hugely successful Apple stores. In reply to: "Apple's 2009 Black Friday deals: All MacBook Pro models $101 off"

  • Look at the business model? AAPL stock up over 600% during the past five years. MSFT? Dead flat. In reply to: "Microsoft denies Windows 7 is based on Mac OS"

  • It's beyond my imagination as to why people are bashing Apple because of their success.

    Did they break anti-trust laws? Did they force people, at gunpoint, to part with their money? Did they recruit people who are adept at making sales to consumers who are incompetent or uninformed?

    Get over it. Microsoft will continue to make money no matter what Apple does. Difference is, Apple's stock has appreciated over 600% during the past five years while MSFT has laid flat.

    Read into that whatever you like, but Apple's recent success is not a weakness. In reply to: "Apple banks on retail stores"

  • Windows dropped the ball on the MP3 player and the cell phone.

    So what else is new?

    No wonder their stock sucks for the past 10 years. In reply to: "First iPhone, now Droid. Who needs Windows?"
