  • The Mac vs. PC Debate Was Never Clearer [View article]
    Yes but unfortunately it runs windows


    "Actually jmmx, you don't know enough about computers. This best buy laptop has the Centrino 2 with interrelated Intel Core 2 duo processor. It also has built in wifi with 802.11 a/b/g/n capabilities. It ALSO has Nvidia graphics with 1024MB of dedicated video memory with the capacity of 2815MB of memory. It also comes with a webcam, 5-in-1 media reader, fingerprint reader and more.

    Anything else you'd like to try and compare? Or is that enough failing for you in one day?"

  • Can Zune Compete With iPod? [View article]
    "Free from the iTunes DRM on music"
    that is total and absolute BS .

  • Apple as a Target [View article]
    if 100 mil people have ipods they are not going to give a crap
    if there is another standard that plays on all mp3 players ..

    DECE needs to find 100 mil more customers to compete
    maybe MS plans to sell 100mil zune . to do that they would have to give one up free with every copy of windows

  • Apple Will Flourish With or Without Steve Jobs [View article]
    windsurfar
    "WIth the iPhone... why not make a version that has a physical QWERTY key board as well as the full touch screen iphone? Let the consumer decide "

    that's exactly what the old Apple did.. try to be all for everyone
    and to always jump on new technologies years ahead of the rest
    ok .. that lead to some amazing products but commercially speaking not so valid
    Technology needs to simplify our lives not complicate them.
    Technology is like ice cream , you can put 20 toppings on it but if you
    have bad ice cream , toppings can't make it better.

    Unless of course you have burned taste buds, in that case you need the toppings to make it interesting

  • Apple Will Flourish With or Without Steve Jobs [View article]
    Don't you people think that Steve Jobs alone is not to be credited with the Apple renaissance, it's true he deserves the credit to bring back innovation but he hasn't done it alone, he surrounded himself with the right people some of them were already Apple employees for years
    No my fellow mac users , should Jobs leave tomorrow Apple will not fall,
    there are too many smart and visionary people running this company
    Jobs could retire tomorrow and Apple will still be great so long that they
    keep designing their products, I am going to start worrying only when I see 2 flops in a row.. that would mean they ran out of ideas
    Take MS as an example, until they find a new CEO they are done ..

    driftingcloud... even when Apple was at $8 MacOS 9 was far superior than Windows95
    Apple had great software back then .. FileMaker, Appleworks,Cyberdog, Graffiti later used by Palm...the Powerbook DUO, Newton, emate, Quicktake camera etc... these are the precursor of today's macs,the iphone,low cost PCs , tablet PCs,ultra portable pcs, PDAs etc...

    If they had a fault was to try to be ahead of technology 2 steps too many..and of course lousy marketing :-)

    The company had a few bad quarters but they still managed to eliminate debt and put a decent pile of cash in the bank. With over 500mil in cash Apple was never on the brink of failing as many people believed.. I remember most shareholder complaining about Job's choice to eliminate the clones most likely you are one of them(assuming you've been a shareholder for that long)
    Now, we all know SJ made the right choice.
    Eventually SJ will retire for whatever reason and the board will name a new CEO he might be worse or even better than SJ, but as long that SJ leaves with a strong product line and a marketing strategy in place there is nothing to worry , until the new CEO makes a wrong choice of course.
