Cash Position Best for Apple Investor
The economy might be tanking, but the customer base of Apple: wealthy, educated, and employable. Students will still buy computers. Households will cut back on other things, not computers. Computers are now a must have item. Along with cell phones.
I'll be adding to my Apple position. In fact, I'm getting ready to pull a John Templeton.
3G iPhone: What Has Apple Got Against Cameras?
BLAME THE CELL PHONE CARRIERS. The US cell phone carriers refuse to sell phones with >2MP cameras. Period. They do not want the bandwidth usage.
That is why the iPhone, and every other phone in the US, is stuck with pathetic 2mp cameras. Even though the rest of the world is far past 2mp. You can't even buy a Sony K-line phone here. Or a high end Samsung or Nokia unless it is unlocked.
WHY DOES NO ONE KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THIS?
Apple Customers Actually Come First
What is it? To attempt to create the best product possible in an attempt to actually improve a customer's quality of life. Apple actually attempts to create products that will change the world. While many companies pay lip service to this, Apple actually executes. They take an idea or product and continually refine it, until it is the best that they think they can do. In other words, they sweat the details.
Another fundamental philosophy at Apple is that humans actually sit at the top of the pyramid. In other words, Apple believes that technology should be adapted to work the way humans think they should work. Companies like Microsoft, on the other hand, seem to elevate technology above people, instead creating technology that requires humans to adapt to it. The result, Apple creates intuitive products and Microsoft creates unintuitive or counter-intuitive products.
Apple would create a hammer that looks like a hammer. It's method of use would be instantly obvious.
Microsoft would create a hammer that is equally useful, if not more, but would require a manual and training to figure out how to use it.
