  • Could the Dow Sink Another 50% by 2012? [View article]
    Guys-

    Who are you kidding? Pick your heads up from out of the holes!

    There's a 50% chance the DOW will crash this year!

    There's a 25% chance the Government, ,yes the US Gov't, will collapse in the next 12 months.

    Listen to the news and read the papers. Cities and states are going to start falling like dominos soon. And shortly after that, well you guess.

  • Apple Netbook Will Fill Newspaper Void [View article]

    @Ted,

    Think about all the trees, fuel and energy it takes to write all those newspaper. Then think all the trees plus energy we'll save by not publishing them. 50 million more trees per year means a hey of a lot of CO2 being absorbed.

  • Apple Netbook Will Fill Newspaper Void [View article]


    The death of the printed newspaper is great thing for the environment- think of the number of trees it would save. The countless pounds of less trash that needs to be hauled around or finds itself in on the streets. If you want to read a newspaper, subscribing to a web edition or buying a Kindle is the way to go. Or if you're a Mac user, find the sight that reports want you want and use Apple's simple and elegant widget maker- talk about getting to the point.

    As for Apple getting into the net-book market, I don't think so. The margins will simply not be there. Why make 3 or 5% on a product when you could make 30% or more on others??? Leave that to the Acers of the world.

    What would be great, and maybe this would come with iPhone 3.0, would be if you could make a widget on your Mac, as described above, and then incorporate it as your own app onto your iphone. With this approach, apps can go from 25,000 today to millions in a month!!!!

    Dell & Microsoft are the new IBMs of the PC world- dinosaurs seeking shelter from their mediocre products.

    I agree with this think_tom. The iPhone 2.0 software plus the AppStore will prove to be the biggest technological advancement of 2008 and for the fourth year in a row will garner Apple the much coveted prize as the world's most innovated company- as measured by Business Week. Others are free to differ.

    @jsk:

    Did you do web browsing on Motorola's Star Trac phones? They had "web" browser." Does the end-user experience and quality matter- you bet. Get real.

  • How Big Will iPhone Gaming Be? [View article]
    Let's not compare the iPhone games to dedicated mobile gaming platforms- after all they can't tell how the weather is going to be tomorrow or how much your stock if worth or where to find the nearest Chinese restaurant and list goes on and on...........

    Why can't investors/financial types write an article on an Apple product without mentioning how it could have been Microsoft's had they been more innovative- hasn't it dawn on everyone by now that MS doesn't innovate they copy and don't even do a good job at that.

    That said, I'd like to see Apple develop a new gaming platform altogether based loosely on the games available from the App Store. This platform will consist of goggle type device using thin LCD technology, being developed right here in NJ, that totally immerses the users in his/her own virutal world. This goggle will use an accelerometer and some type of hand held device to manipulate the gamers experience. It will have WFI built in and allow for multiple user experience via the net. It will be based on Core Audio, Core Animation and scalable to a device such as Apple TV.

    Oops- maybe I've said too much. Bye.

  • BlackBerry Bold vs. Apple iPhone: Two Very Different Experiences [View article]
    BB = yesterday's technology in different package
    iPhone= today's and future technology with huge potential

    Let's face it; RIM is in for the fight of its life. Not just from Apple; but from all the other smartphones that are leaving it in the dust.

  • Should Apple Be Worth More Than Google? [View article]
    As a follow up to last e-mail. Check out the TheStreet.com's video on Apple's so called 3G reception. It's pretty obvious that someone made this guy make this video and even fabricate stuff about the % of people affected and the location. Wow! BT Barnum was right- there's a sucker born every minute: ABCNews, Wall St. Journal, USA Today and of course the lame TheStreet.Com
