You completely discount that Apple single handedly defined and created the digital download market. They blazed the trail for everyone else. Why not ask yourself: Why didn't Amazon launch at the same time as Apple's first iPod? Could it be that they didn't have the technology? Could it be that they didn't know how to do it? Could it be that the mobile carriers didn't have the infrastructure to carry the bandwidth, and wouldn't have until Apple mobile devices demanded it?

If you intend to make an Apple pie, don't try to make one with oranges....]]>

How Apple Can Fight the iPhone Browser Lawsuit http://seekingalpha.com/article/109108-how-apple-can-fight-the-iphone-browser-lawsuit?source=feed#comment-320723 320723
Ergo, this patent, on its face, is absurd, because ya can't patent an open source tool. Were this patent to prevail, it would completely shut down the Internet on any mobile device, regardless of how one chooses to navigate the XML-"page" on a mobile device.

This one is as ridiculous as a patent on the human genome, which essentially says that a pharmaceutical company owns my genes. Screw that!

Patent trolls are a boil on the rump of innovation. Let's hope that the new administration gets out a lance and some strong antiseptic; and those good ole shit kickers in East Texas find a new way to fill their dockets and line their pockets.]]>

Saab May Be GM's Best Hope for the Future http://seekingalpha.com/article/108284-saab-may-be-gm-s-best-hope-for-the-future?source=feed#comment-316558 316558
Anybody want to know why the sales of SAAB have slipped? Just look at what GM has done to the once graceful lines and high performance. They've turned it into just another hideously-styled American box on wheels, with slushy under-performance and low quality finish. They've taken an industry benchmark and turned it into an also-ran.

I feel that the bailout for the big three should be abandoned. For decades, Detroit has churned out slop that no one wants to buy. Why should they be rewarded for their arrogance in believing that with big bucks thrown at marketing, they can sell sh*t to those who don't know the difference between that and Shinola?

Give us back our SAAB!]]>

A Close Look at Apple's Mac Shipments http://seekingalpha.com/article/85426-a-close-look-at-apple-s-mac-shipments?source=feed#comment-207703 207703
Then you go on for paragraphs on end making predictions based on completely noisy data. Garbage in Garbage out.

You sure you're not shorting?

I agree with User 143629. I also agree with Steve Jobs when he says: "We don't predict, we report."

Money is money; and supreme innovation, setting the tone for the entire consumer-based computing industry for the past decade, consistent growth and profits cannot be disputed no matter how they are tweaked.

Buy AAPL, put it in your portfolio, and fagettaboudit.]]>
