Ah, been extremely busy of late and have a brief moment to visit the List to discover nothing has changed, the old OS wars continues lightly disguised as Steve is Satan discussion.
I'm a little surprised we are still alive after the previous apocalyptic prophesies made about the previous draconian decree forced upon us by Steve. As usual I'll vote with my wallet, and lets just see what the wallet has to say about Steve's suicidal business decisions: I believe Steve's last 'will spell the end of Apple' decision was made about 30 April when Apple stock was around $261.09. Of course, unlike an individual of integrity, who'd stand by their statements and stick with them now matter how foolish they are - a bit like the decorated military commanders we revere who just keep sending the troops to their deaths no matter the toll, because they said they'd get that job done - Steve had to eat humble pie and go back on his word, which I think occurred around Sep 10th - Apple stock had subsequently languished selling at a measly $263.41. Today the Stock is suffering at $309.52 and guess given the List's 'the end is nigh' assessment of his latest announcement, will continue to suffer badly as Apple dwindles into oblivion. Some of course might find it interesting that on 30th April Microsoft was listed at $30:54, having not made any silly decisions on 10th Sep it was listed at $23:85, and today at $25:38! Outside of the Tech industry Walmart was listed at $53:64 30th April, and again didn't make any silly decisions, so on 10th Sep were listed at $51:97, and today at $54:06. Yep, some people on this List, if they had a spare 10 grand would go out and 'eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die'. Me, between Apple and any other company represented by any individual on this List, I'd invest that 10 grand in Apple - there's still a whole heap more money to be made up until the time Steve dies, then it's SELL SELL SELL! It's strange how some people think that the real reason people buy Korean cars is because they are more reliable, cheaper and do the same job, if not better, than the more expensive European offering. The truth is, apart from a very few select individuals, Warren Buffett is the only one that comes to mind, the vast majority of consumers, if they won $133 million on the New York Mega Million Lottery, would go out and buy the Ferrari. Deep down everyone knows what they really want, but it's common sense that prevails and forces as to justify our more sensible spending. It's the marketing man's job to push that common sense boundary as high up the price ladder as he can. Steve is Satan, he's been pushing Apple from the very beginning ;-) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
