Where is going Apple ?
Dear Friends, Apple, like U.S., Europe and Japan, is betting its future as a supplier of premium products for customers rich representing demand immediate solvent but tends more and more reduced. China, like Google (and hopefully RunRev), is betting its future as a provider of essential goods immediately accessible to the largest number in a logical expansion of effective demand than by direct conversion of productivity gains in performance for maximum accessibility products offered (capitalism low cost). Guess who will win the economic war to end the crisis ? -- Apple, à l'image des USA, de l'Europe et du Japon, parie son avenir comme fournisseur de produits haut de gamme destinés à une clientèle riche représentant une demande immédiatement solvable mais tendanciellement de plus en plus réduite. La Chine, à l'image de Google (et, espérons-le RunRev), parie son avenir comme fournisseur de produits de première nécessité immédiatement accessibles au plus grand nombre dans une logique d'élargissement maximum de la demande solvable par conversion directe des gains de productivité en performance d'accessibilité maximale des produits proposés (capitalisme low-cost).

You may have a good point, but I'd like to point out that you are not stating facts, but rather a point of view.
