Apple vs. Microsoft Vista: The Ad Budget Wars http://seekingalpha.com/article/107597-apple-vs-microsoft-vista-the-ad-budget-wars?source=feed#comment-313832 313832 Apple's products seem to work well, and are increasingly popular, so I cant see a problem there, either.

Microsoft has bad ads (very bad) and a legacy OS that is increasingly bloated and dysfunctional.

Apple therefore is NOT guilty of hypocrisy; but Microsoft still has bad product and bad advertising. ]]>

Apple Isn't Recession-Proof http://seekingalpha.com/article/97832-apple-isn-t-recession-proof?source=feed#comment-268565 268565
Computers are essential items, and Apple makes the very best ones.

These analysts are simply wrong - and will be proved so in the coming months.

Wal-mart people cant afford Apple products - they never could and never will.

Does this fool Huberty think that Apple has ever sold to the low-end?

Apple: recession proof, but not idiot proof, sadly.]]>

Fact is, Huberty is an idiot who has never got it right, and talking about Apple gets you hits and action, because its a one-in-a-million company.

Sub-$1000? Apple has the Macbook at around $1000 and the MacMini at $599. Hello?

Time for a complete re-write of the USA stock market system and HEAVY restrictions on 'analysts'.
Hopefully, Obama will do something about this nasty gambling game and its crooked players.]]>

Five Reasons Steve Ballmer Thinks Apple's a Buy http://seekingalpha.com/article/93699-five-reasons-steve-ballmer-thinks-apple-s-a-buy?source=feed#comment-244576 244576 Fact is, an Apple Macbook costs $1049, which is maybe $300 more than a crappy Windows laptop. Thing is, you get great FREE software with it, and way more functionality and ease of use.

College kids are buying these things and NOT buying Windows laptops.

Microsoft should support Apple and sell them lots of cheap copies of Windows, which, of course, you can ALSO run on a Mac.

In life, the tides turn, and Microsoft need Apple far more than Apple needs Microsoft.

Stock will eventually hit $250, its stuck at $170 or so, but then it did just have ten years of massive growth.

Why Apple Stock Is Poised To Go Flat - At Best http://seekingalpha.com/article/93225-why-apple-stock-is-poised-to-go-flat-at-best?source=feed#comment-241723 241723
It has a Unix-based OS that has been universally acknowledged to be the best around, by a country mile.

Its computers can, and do, run Windows as well as OSX - thats a difficult combo to beat.

Its iPhone is so much better than everything else, its not funny.

People need computers - Apple takes 66% of all computer purchases over $1000 - and thats why they make huge profits.

They have around $25 billion in cash, no debt. Same as Microsoft.

They are the USA's biggest retailer of music, on or offline.

Most movies are made with Mac computers and Apple's 'Final Cut Pro' professional editing suite.

Almost all students are now buying Apple laptops.

They are eating Dell and HP's lunch.

Growth may slow, but then how can it continue at over 50% per year?
Expect solid growth for the next five, and then look at the picture.
B that time, they may have 40% of the market, which will be huge because they sell both hardware and software - making them almosts impossible to beat.

The development of Apple since they built their new OS almost 10 years ago underpins all this - they have built an Operating System for the next 25 years.
Now they are reaping the harvest.]]>

Apple isnt going to be beaten down by people who, as you out it, 'procure' software.

Apple have built their software dominance slowly and carefully - it will take the right people 5 years to even get close, and all the right people dont work at Microsoft or Nokia - they actually work at Apple.

Screw market share - Apple is making big profits with a small market share.
Microsoft - 90% share and twice Apple profit. Apple - 6% market share and 50% of Microsoft profit.

Apple cash - 23 billion and counting.
Microsoft cash - 25 billion and counting, but slowly.]]>

30 years ago, most people had older cars and did work themselves, but now, most have newer cars.

30 years ago no-one had a personal computer with the ability to get digitised files of all types from out of a wire - now they do.

Owning a personal computer costs about $500 - $700 year, at least.

This money comes directly from Music, Movies, etc.

Music has always had a low priority - its just sound - and it is impossible for the Music Biz to suddenly give it 'added value' - if they coulda, they woulda.

Digitised files, easy sharing with friends, buy only the tracks you like, other things to spend your cash on.

Music is settling to its level, according to the wishes of consumers, and the competition for the consumer dollar.

Music, although I love it, just does NOT have the dollar value that the Music Biz thinks it does.
They have a business that is horribly anachronistic, but they wont accept that.

Too bad. Amazon, Apple, etc are the new music businesses - its only a matter of time before artists will go DIRECT to the digital file providers.
Then the game will be over for EMI, Universal, and the rest.]]>

What's Better: BlackBerry or iPhone? http://seekingalpha.com/article/77026-what-s-better-blackberry-or-iphone?source=feed#comment-166918 166918
The article was not researched, and is biased towards Blackberry.
These things happen - proper analysis based on research and testing it aint, but thats normal in the world of cheap blogs.

BUT then the 'author' decides to weigh in on the comments and tell us that we are all in the thrall of Steve Jobs!
Thats simply insulting, and considering the stance of the writer, is hypocritical.

There are many posts here from users of both products and the overwhelming 'bias' is towards Apple.

Point 2 is idiotic - anecdotal crap such as 'my friends brothers great-aunt dropped her iphone and it smashed into a thousand pieces killing 19 people' isnt effective unless you are talking to 85 year old women gossiping over coffee.

I love the comments from the 'text/email heavy' 'business' users. LOL! High comedy!
What a bunch of sad nitwits!
If 'business' users had their way, we would accept terrible products at grossly inflated prices that never changed or improved.

Sorry 'business' guys you are NOT the leaders or innovators that you think you are, and I doubt your typing skills are anything more than average.

Typing on a small keyboard has natural limitations that can NOT be fixed unless you have a full-sized keyboard or simply call instead of email or text.
Because of this, spelling and grammatical errors are forgiven and as long as the sense of the message is there; its good enough.

NO-ONE is writing complex emails, or their yearly report on a tiny keyboard - so quit with the lies.

The iPhone keyboard is at least as good as the blackberry one, but the other facilities of the iPhone make it a clear winner, unless you are unable to admit the facts.

Oh, and BTW, I have dropped my iPhone on at least 10 occasions, work in a tough environment (Marine), and it still keeps ticking. Use it to read emails from customers, and generally reply with 4 lines or less. If more explanation of a work contract is needed, I go crazy and PHONE them. Imagine that.

Met a guy in Sbux the other day with a huge dent across the back of his iPhone - it had stopped a puck at an NHL game! True story. It had not missed a beat. Starbucks, Ladner, BC, Canada. Yes we both had 'pirate' iPhones, as the idiot 'business' people at Rogers havent had the sense to get the iPhone yet.

Reason for all the anti-article comments here - article is simply inaccurate and based around the authors bias.
Try harder, Mr. Author.
