I get the majority of my news via the new AT&T sign on via their webmail. In the past, it came from Yahoo or some of my other sources. Definitely not looking for the bad-only posting what shows up. There was no listing in the news on their splash page about Apple earnings-sorry. There have been lots of posts here about iPhones so when I read the article, I found it interesting and really different from what I first thought of when I read the headline. My glass isn't half full, it's 100% FULL! >From the bright side of the moon, Jeff Slyn, Owner SLYN Systems & Peripherals (502) 426-5469 a new & improved http://www.SLYNsystems.com in process serving Kentuckiana clients 7 days a week since 1985! ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Jonathan Fletcher <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MacGroup] iPhone suicide Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:54:33 -0400 Jeff, You have interesting criteria for what you post here. You don't mention at all the news that Apple announced (the day before yesterday) great earning for this past quarter. iPhone sales up 600%. Mac sales up. Profits up. Margins up. "The best not-holiday quarter ever," they say. When ALL other computer companies are reporting unit sales dipping. Oh! You say that someone's life is more important than just some corporate profits. Well what about all the other suicides in China, or all the other abuse of factory workers in general in China. Or any atrocity or tragedy anywhere else in the world for that matter. That list is indeed very long. Much to choose from there. No you pick the one bad thing out of all the news possible that has anything at all to do with Apple and you post that. That's beginning to sound a little bit "trollish," Jeff. Now I know that you wouldn't want to be called that so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just say that you need to read more news than just the anti-Apple blogs, numerous though they may be. There's a big world out there, Jeff. You ought to get to know some more of it. Life's too short to live in the dark. Or, the "Dark Side," for that matter. Take care, buddy. j.
