Thats bad business as far as Im concerned. Not the kind of Apple computer I
thought I knew.
Look deeper in the workings of Apple, Microsoft, etc. Note
especially the direct and indirect stock holdings of the company's
and the officer's. Check out who the major stockholders are of the
companies that make motherboards and memory etc...
This is nothing new. Companies have been been doing it since Ford
invented the assembly line. You need investment income while you're
trying to win market share. Then you need to retain that market
share, over and over.
heh. I remember as a kid, when we bought a new hot water heater, my
father "did the math". He got the specs for the glass bottle and the
rod. Then he got a detailed water report. He calculated that the
bottle would begin leaking six to eight months *after* the warrenty
expired. We wrote it in the heater. Sure enough... 7 months, it
sprung a leak.
FWIW,
