Not Everyone Likes Windows 7

Not everyone likes windows 7? That's a shocker.

Windows 7 will be a big hit. And there will be some segment of the population that hates it.

How the iPhone and Poor Management Contribute to Apple's Downfall

It would be nice to own a stock that never went down. Ask the Madoff investors how it worked out for them.

Most of the bulge bracket investment banks are either down the tubes or need massive government bailouts. GM, Ford and Chrysler would be chapter 11 without government assistance.

So you'll forgive me if I don't think Apple is mismanaged. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Damage Report: Nokia Blows Up Mobile Sector

The beneficiaries of this recession will be the telecos. People will let their fingers do the walking and use less energy. They will keep their old phones longer as they are keeping their old cars longer as the incremental improvements are no longer worth the money if you are strapped for cash.

Winners will be the Telcos and as capacity utilization increases the telco equipment providers.

I'd like a new iPhone but my current phone does everything I need (if not everything I want). So I'll hold onto it for a couple more years and endure the hardship of not having a phone that does gestures.

Is Apple's New MacBook Affordable Enough?

I've owned Macs and PCs and while i prefer the Mac i always wind up with a PC because you really do get more bang for the buck. I cannot get myself to pay the premium.

And while the Mac is definitely easier to use once you spend the time to learn the PC and know it well enough the ease of use issue goes away, at least for me.

MACs are, in the end of the day, more expensive.

Julian Robertson: Some Buying, but Bearish on the Economy

Obama is not up to 70% because of Obama.

If you don't like where the republicans have taken us I completely understand, they have done a lousy job over the last 8 years.

But please don't try and sell me on Obama doing great new things. He is just another leftist and will lead left.

Obama voters will be greatly disappointed after a few months of his presidency.

GPhone and iPhone: Openness Vs. Sleekness

Well years ago many complained that the Mac was closed and the PC open. This openess lead to viruses, spyware, root kits and no end of malware. In the end of the day if it is a phone it has to make an answer calls. Apple is right in not letting anything run in the background, in that way they can insure the phone works OK. There will be no end of misery with the gphone when some poorly written or malicious apps reek havoc with the calling capability.
