    Using your logic just about every positive story about apple should be trashed , most are by people with openly stated vested interests.

  • Ceragon Stars in Mobile Internet Revolution, EZchip's Surprise [View article]
    >>ten times greater than the desktop Internet revolution<<

    yep you heard it hear, not 9 times , not 12 times, but ten times greater.

    So I guess that means, by dollars? by eyeballs? by speed? by lunch time?

    The hype is out of hand , just like the late 90s all over again.

    >>>>>&g... this point there has been recognition that for pocket devices tight single vendor integration a la iPod/iTunes is necessary.<<<...

    wtf, Please back that up. That is a stupid statement. You are suggesting that because the device is small, it requires that the hardware and software are made by the same company? THat is just the dumbest POS I have heard in years.

    I guess we should send a memo to the rest of the tech world and tell them to stop shipping consumers devices, becuase they just paid a license fee for the software instead of writing . Oh well off to throw out my player, after all , they did not write the software, they just paid some fees, and outsourced the UI, so I guess it does not work........

    Wow really Tom?

    the last 20 years was just the first skirmish? Really? Sorry but you are out of your mind. The PC war is over, ended a long time ago.
    The next war is a global war for SAS/cloud. I dont even see where apple fits in that battle. Do you somehow think a couple of data centers and phone will bring apple to enterprise level?
    Or are you expecting apple to roll out some good TV slots telling everyone just how bad IBM SAP MSFT ORCL are?

    Tell me because I would really love to know how you see apple leveraging its phone users into some sort of global platform that can displace the other 99.999% of the existing infrastructure?

    Oh wait, the engineers are all going to start using an iphone instead of their desktop, thats it, I got it! The devs are all going drop everything and get to work making fart apps.

  • Google Should Make Apple Beg for Maps Navigation [View article]
    much to do about nothing. The real mistake here was to publish anything that even a slight neg edge about AAPL.

    The fanclub here, just want to hear to good news, nothing else. Does'nt matter whats true or not, just that the story puts down a couple of companies while shouting how great steve and apple are.

    Perhaps the best thing to do would be to start a new site, Seeking Apple just for the apple fans?

    Thanks, great post, will be interesting to see how the MSOs manage to block out Hulu etc , going forward. They seem to be pretty good to killing competition, in a so called free market.

  • The Google Effect and Search Market Share Surveys [View article]
    There are boat loads of companies producing data that confirms comfort and surprises in order to get headlines.

    Apple this, Bill gates that blah blah. But when you look at the metrics , when you look at the source, often there are holes you could drive a bus through.
    And the data gets published and punters take it at face value, believing that the stock they love does indeed control xyz, or is highly favored by group ABCs

    >>the average mobile user exchanged 486 text messages, while making only 182 phone calls.<<

    and on average people have less than two legs. In other words averages can be very very misleading.

    >>>>Most who upgrade to Windows 7 are going to need a new computer along with new software that is compatible. That doesn’t work for today’s generation. <<<<

    This is a meanless comment Jason.

    most sales of win 7 will in the long term be OEM just as apple will sell most OEM.

    As to "compatible" you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Just about every single machine to come out of a factory in the last year or so is already compatible with win 7.

    Please wake up and smell the coffee Jason there are millons upgrading old machines with win 7 and breathing a whole new life into them.

    As to "todays generation" please cut bs, todays gen knows how to insert a disc, they are not dumb please dont sell them so short.
