      Apple's Problems - Bad to the Core?
      first news this morning of reception problems testing under strict lab conditions showed no flaw in the hardware www.gp.se/gp/jsp/Cross...

      second i have an 850 dual g4 running leopard with out a crash EVER as well as a first generation mini there are a lot of idiot users who screw with the main libraries and have crash problems or have stupid things like pram batteries from the year one going bad and their clocks and dates are always different messing with directories. people do not know these need to be replaced every 5 years or so

      dragging out the health issues at this point is just ignorant the only thing you left out of this laundry list was Gil Amelio allowed too many motherboard designs to be produced at once.

      i wish you were bright enough to pull off a hatchet job like this

      heres an idea (since you apparently have none of your own) for your next article

      "Apple sells too many computers and phones in the back to school season, record profits will be difficult to top by christmas is this the beginning of the end for jobs?" or " piles of money at Apple causing dangerous stress on floors of company vaults"

      Microsoft: Still Master of the Operating System Domain
      to call microsoft an industry leader is an oxymoron. the main reason the OS was so crappy from the beginning was it was a copy of the mac os duct taped to dos. in being everything to everybody it ended up being nothing at all. Steve Balmer at the helm will make the company sweaty,hoarse and even more clueless. counting every beige box that comes with a disk a "sale" is really ludicrous and in a masterful public relations move cutting off the sale of XP ( extra problems) removes the consumer choice to pay extra at the store for a UPdowngrade to xp that many were doing .at his next testosterone fest Balmer will tout the increased adoption of vista as a triumph of its superiority over xp one more example of how out of touch a company can be o no i just got a virus update from mcaffe . . .wheres my credit card . . . my protection is expired what the heck is half ware anyway . . . I'm getting a mac dude!

      Apple Can Disable iPhone Apps, but Should They?
      its hard to write a crappy app for a mac because the system uses a resource fork and a data fork in each document or action the app performs. the app calls the system for instance "give me a window" and the toolbox throws up the window and the app developer can go and assign functions to the menus and what not but since the system produces all this stuff for the app its hard for the app to affect the system itself (its a one way relationship) thats why macs are so hard to hack and why apps all have the same look and feel. since there are 2 forks it is not possible to hide commands in information like you can in certain command line interfaces which shall not be mentioned lest we have a sweaty fat guy start yelling "developer" at me

      Looking for a Cause for Thursday's Sell-off? Blame Greenspan
      Greenspan had to deal with an administration that was hell bent on looting the treasury and lining their pockets for decades to come. I remember the blank stares from the senators when greenspan explained that the surplus that the clintons had left behind could not simply be returned to the bond holders(to reduce the national debt) because most were bearer bonds and with out offering incentives to offset the tax advantages we just did not know who(as a group) they are. thats why we all got that first 600 dollar check the government by law could not keep the money.He is a guy who see what is going on in a world of class "C" dunderheads but he should realize that pointing out that the emperor is naked will have consequences

      Apple Math: Market Share over Margins
      I'm buying all i can afford. the lower prices will mean (in simple math ) we can choose between owning 100% of one apple or 30% of the whole orchard. the fact that in these conditions there are lines for 3 weeks at the stores is PHENOMENAL

      Three Apple Fears That Were Blown Out of Proportion
      apple fan anybody Steve's age will have some health challenges but they ARE being managed i am sure he can get the absolute best care possible
      and unfortunately the new phone is under the same accounting rules because apple is delivering upgrades for free over the life of the contract length and the law states that until the "whole value " is actually delivered the sale can not be considered "complete" but as was astutely pointed out apple will have use of the cash right away and save gobs on the taxes and the bottom line will grow and grow steadily over the next 5 years regardless of small setbacks in sales. Good news to investors like me if the bearish pundits don't panic the market as they have been doing. this routine unnerving of investors should be as illegal as crying fire in a crowded theater

      Steve Jobs: Honesty Is the Best Policy
      to all you folks just waiting to take offense at what was an accurate quote there is only one bad word in the entire language that should never be used and that word is NO! i think we're smart enough as a group to not have our lives or psyche ruined for life because someone else said a "bad" word in this case it was a quote and the reporter was right in including the correct expletive if Jobs had used the "c" word i would have known he was MUCH angrier. including the correct expletive allows me to judge the "freighting" of the sentence more subtly

      Apple's MobileMe Mess
      apple will get to the bottom of the problem and square it away quickly and trust that it will not be a band aid work around but a true fix. Mine is working fine. if any of you have had networking problems you would know fixes are a lot of educated guesses and trial and error propositions individual users can inadvertently mess things up (we had a stock boy search for an item that did not exist that put our company into an infinite loop that lasted 3 days) sometimes what you fix breaks something else there are a lot of reboots and reloads involved have a little patience here and remember if your a windows user searching the internet for some obscure .dll to get your scanner to work or calling tech support and having to rewrite code over the phone. sit back and the apple engineers will come out the other side with even better software (6 years in the making VISTA! yeah lets let Microsoft fix our phones!)

      the choice of words from pundits always causes trouble if you don't see where the silver tongued devil is sending you if Colon Powell had called the baggy of baking soda and the crappy picture of a truck an "exhibit" instead of "evidence" we woild not be stuck in the briar patch right now. When a record quarter and lines of people at your outlets for weeks is "lacluster" i begin to think your keyboard must be a PC piece of junk and the b and l keys are sticking cause i see "Blockbuster"... here

      Apple: Economy Is Depressed
      judging by the lines at the stores yes the depression will slow the growth rate from 800 percent to somewhere around 799. if we were in a "depression" and i was as broke as Russell Crowe in Cinderella man i could only afford one present for my kid this christmas guess where i would spend my wad. No worries about the apples mate!

      Time to Stand Up for Steve Jobs
      first of all a little credit goes to Xerox and the PARC team and the "Woz" who took Xerox's idea of the graphic user interface and the mouse and went with it (had it not been for them you would be looking at orange text with a blinking bar beneath one of the letters)Steve Jobs was the visionary that knew where these devices could go but it was the unsung apple engineers that smoothed out the nits and cricks and eventually made the beauty of OSX a reality .Microsoft's problem has always been they have no idea what we are likely to want to actually do with our computers. Like a pack of gum you don't need an instruction past "pull tab" to figure how it should work you pull the tab the cap pops off the gum is wrapped the paper falls away the powdered slice of gum is there you chew. Millions of people go through the same dance to get the peppermint reward with out instruction or manual that is the apple design esthetic in a green wrapper they care about what you want to do and set it up to do what you most likely want to do. steve guides that process by sending his people back again and again to refine the interface and constantly reevaluates what they have done not dump more features a'la Vista. if Steve were to leave tomorrow unless apple put a total dummy in there the design guidelines(go look at them in the tech library developer.apple.com/do...) already in place would continue to bring apple forward into the next great opportunity

      Options Trader: Tuesday Outlook
      not every one made irresponsible decisions who have lost their homes
      I went blind in one eye and could no longer work as a jeweler my wife freaked out at our new situation and bailed on the family taking an 80 thousand dollar home equity line with her in cash i spent every dime i had trying to stay in the home so my son could finish school i was making it barely till my oil bills toped 1000 dollars for a tank fill up . i was forced to sell a step ahead of foreclosure i made those payments for 15 years there are many people who are wage earners who have been nailed into this position by the ass in the white house no one dare ask for a raise in this economy we could save a lot of gas by not driving tanks around in a desert. a helping hand from the government might have saved what's left of my family what was done is criminal and i hope bush Cheny and Powell rot in hell i take real offense at the knee jerk "screw em" attitude Im seeing here these homes were hope for a lot of people and they took a stab at belonging somewhere and had that taken away by a bunch of looters. Kudos to Phillip for telling it like it might be
