The economy is cyclical. It will eventually get better. A $100 discount on windows 7 isn't bad either.

So, this is how to fix the economy:

step 1: randomly choose me to win the N85.
step 2: ????
step 3: Profit.

BioShock FTW!

This might be the most inaccurate post I have ever read on Bloggingstocks.com. Very unprofessional and completely wrong, in EVERY aspect. A shameless Apple basher to say the least.

''Apple's share of the US computer market has grown to 5%.

If Apple thinks it will get much more of the market, it is kidding itself. Unlike the iPod market, where it had very little direct competition from another large company, the PC competition is lead by Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ), and Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), and each of these companies has a huge stake in defending its share.''

Maybe you should do your fact finding. Apple is growing 70% faster than all of these companies and the industry as a whole. Here is a link directly from their presentation yesterday. http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/08/dsc_1305.jpg

"Beyond that, Apple's software may recreate some of the functions of Windows software, but it does not have the huge array of functions built into Vista. And, computer users have become used to these features by using Windows over a number of years. Switching them, at both the consumer and enterprise level will be difficult."

What are the huge array of functions that are built into Vista? OS X has been ahead of the Windows platform for several years now and arguably still is even with Microsofts latest OS. Apple OS X is known for its ease of use and any 'switcher' can tell you that there is barely any learning curve at all.

"Finally, Windows-based PCs can communicate with one another easily because of the common OS. Apple would have to break that cycle by getting users to buy a product that is not compatible with Windows."

You obviously have no experience in this matter so why don't you just give up now. ALL Mac's can communicate seamlessly with Windows operating systems as well as Vista. You can share iTunes libraries over this connection. Share files, even share an internet connection.

Furthermore Apples iWork suite is compatible with all of Microsoft office documents. Word, Powerpoint, and now Excel documents. Not to mention if you really want to run an inferior OS on your mac you have the option to run windows virtually or as a completely separate boot partition.

Please refrain from writing completely bogus posts from now on eh?

Waiting for the flood of AJAX apps/widgets that are going to hit the iPhone. Mostly looking forward to the google.com/reader.

"I've read that when an iPhone user needs to switch between functions, the user must return to the top level menu."

It's obvious you have done barely any research. You see that one button at the bottom of the phone? It takes you to the top level menu. What a hassle..

Anyways, just because you don't like the iPhone, should I assume you pick your stocks based on emotions? Apple has a fantastic future, with or without you.

Well, I was wrong. He doesn't own stock in AAAPL because he recommends it on his own website and doesn't want to compete with his own members. (He sent me an email about it) Keep up to good work Georges!
