    Which CEOs Have the Best and Worst Approval Ratings? [view article]
    Just some personal experience: Amgen always has been a company people loved to work for. Not only a great pipeline and great stock option evolution but mainly the company culture was a huge asset. Now the CEO (ex GE) thought everyone around him were a bunch of softies and everybody who wants a business career should have been in the navy. Then he hires some xxxxholes from big pharma like Baxter and Merck and you know what you get: an east-coast mentality in a west-coast company. Simply wont work.... Reply

    Last chance to get aboard the Manzana Express. Soon Apple @ $190 will be history!

    As soon as they let out their new hardware upgrades and release the number of iPhones sold.

    IMHO

    AOL and Randy are mentioned at #7 on the worst CEO list. Whoever said AOL wasn't in the article needs to learn how to read. Reply

    Jakw: While the approval rating of "Congress," as an institution, is quite low (in part because the Republicans keep blocking the process), the ratings of INDIVIDUAL Representatives and Senators by their own constituents (the only ones who matter) are usually pretty good, much better than President Bush's. Do your homework. Reply

    Hey Maney, you along with most opinionaters, like to compare unfavorability ratings with President Bush's 30% approval rating WITHOUT acknowledging the congressional approval rating between 9 and 14%. GOOD GRIEF ... when you are looking for low marks why not exhibit real understanding of what low really is. Congress wins the lump of coal and columnists who think they are writing dramatic revelations overlook the most dramatic, obvious reference. Congress is so low it should be unplugged from life support. Reply

    Randy Falco (AOL CEO) needs to take a good look at customer service. It is key to any company's success. NOT a company's greed. Greed is never successful in the long run! Reply

    It is funny that AOL is mentioned in this article. It is downright ironic. Today, I had a very horrible experience with AOL customer service. It is such a convoluted situation, that to explain all the minutiae would bring me to the edge of madness again. I resign myslef to madness, then. The gist is that the SUPERVISOR told me that it was my duty to call AOL regularly to find out the best deals. I had contended that it was the duty of AOL to market to its existing (LOYAL) customers any promotional offers. Admittedly, $9.99 per month is not a lot, but over the course of 13 years, our monthly fees can add up. We simply asked the rep to credit 2 months of the monthly fees, as we were not informed of the FREE e-mail only options. We actually were willing to pay the 2 months, but on a different credit card. We were trying to fix a promo rate on our credit card which would take our payments and only apply them to the lower rate of the transferred amount, not the monthly recurring fees from AOL. So, we would be paying 22.99% on $9.99 every month. Yes, credit card companies are slithering shysters, also. The rep could not (would not) do anything. The supervisor kept accusing me of what I did wrong. Is this good customer service to incite a customer to ANGER? I kept my cool, and the SUPERVISOR at AOL said, "I have credited $19.90 (left out 8 cents) (9.99 x 2 = 19.98), thank you for calling AOL. Have nice day." ...And then she hung up! AOL/Time Warner/TWX deserves a slow and horrible death. Time Warner promised me that throughout the month of July, they were upgrading the HD service in North Orange County California. A girl told me this at the end of June, when I call to cancel and switch to AT&T U-Verse. She said "Will you at least not cancel until after we roll out these new services all through the month of July?" I said yes, and she was able to add me as another sucker that did not cancel. It is now more than 1 month later, and the Hi-Def channels she was promising still are not available. What HORRIBLE customer service. I will be cancelling my AOL/Time Warner as soon as I can call DISH/U-VERSE/DIRECTV or anything that has beeter service than Time Warner. Reply

    Research In Motion's 3G Counteroffensive: The Smartphone Arms Race Escalates [view article]
    I think the "collision" b/w AAPL & RIMM is way overblown, likely b/c those in the media have nothing else to write about, & need something to write to attract an audience.

    The iPhone is only available in the US from AT&T, so it's attractiveness is going to be limited to that segment of the market willing to "suffer" AT&T's network.

    The iPhone is designed for the consumer, not the business market, though AAPL has opened the door to "compete" in the business market, by making the iPhone compatible with corporate email Exchange servers. Big deal.

    I don't think AAPL is so focused on the business market, but for some reason, RIMM, or the so-called "pundits" who write about RIMM, are running scared. If the BlackBerry is all it is "cracked" up to be, why the fear?

    In disclosure, I own a BlackBerry Curve, after having a replacement (i.e. re-furbished) Treo from Verizon crash on me. The tech supervisor steered me away from getting another Palm phone. That says a lot. I settled on the BlackBerry, & all I can say is that I'm not impressed. I don't fine the email UI that great, & the browser slow as well as problematic due to the extra relaying that takes place between my phone, BlackBerry servers, and the web page I'm linked to.

    Notwithstanding, I would not even consider an iPhone until it was offered by Verizon Wireless, as I value the network more than I value the phone.

    Bottom line, I don't think BlackBerry has much to be concerned with, and neither does AAPL for the foreseeable future. But let's re-visit this issue in a year or two, & see what inroads AAPL is able to make in the business market with its 3G iPhone. I'm willing to bet it is not going to be as great as some hope (AAPL cheerleaders), or as some fear (RIMM). JMO.     Reply

    people seem to think that the US is the only market for BB, there are millions of people beyond the us borders who will be reaching work age and are anxious to get their first BB. Reply

    The iphone (aka Pocket Mac) is Apple's trojan horse which will introduce Max OS to the masses and accelerate market share gains for the Mac computers. Get it?
    I doubt Apple wanted to be in the cell phone business, but it is a great catalyst.     Reply

    @Josephkr,

    Of course the iPhone is a mobile computer/tablet/slate whatever, you're right.

    What is predicted though is not 3.5" but 6" or 8"....     Reply

    @mag, Why the need for insults? Threatened are you?

    The results will speak for themselves, not the share price, because as we know there is a lot of nonsense, and talking down of APPL at any opportunity. Whether the lowball forcast, Jobs' health, options and all the other techno-FUD like 'Macs are twice the price' and other twaddle.

    If you want to go long my friend, don't go RIM, go APPL. Free advice.

    Oh, and there is one other thing that keeps APPL down, Wall Street doesn't like popular stocks after taxi drivers start tipping and buying them. APPL has a massive army of loyal users and promoters which makes them nervous. So just buy more while they're cheap and you'll be in the money soon enough.     Reply
