Apple loves to eat their own...they get their zombies to buy something "cool" and then 2 months later they introduce something else cooler so they have to "upgrade". This happens because they have such a small market share BUT that market share clearly has money to spend...keeps them going!

Steve Jobs loves them!!

Hahaha! That's the technology way! hehehe.

True of course, but Apple does is as part of their business plan. So clearly...except to the people who buy their stuff.

technology too fast ... and too expensive. I saw someone with a thing on their ear ... things IN their ear and all kinds of things hanging off their belt. How long before people cyborgs... integrated into technology?

You may want to call first though, I don't have an iphone, but my friend does and he said they weren't ready yet to issue the rebate, should be by next week.

This really pissed me off. Apple stock is taking a beating.

The hard part is NO ANALYST KNOWS WHAT TO VALUE APPLE STOCK NOW and how the price drop affects Apple as they are so damn secret about the deal with ATT/Cingular.

Example: Did Apple drop the price because of sluggish sales (even though analysts say Apple will exceed its goal through 2008) or because those who bought it are racking up higher phone bills that Apple gets a cut of? Who knows? Apple wont say and there is NO WAY to find out.

The IPHONE is like this mysterious product for analysts to predict.

I wouldn't say the Ipod is a small market share at all.

I think apple in general has a much smaller market share not the ipod itself. because of course the ipod is the most popular mp3 player but apple in general still has a very long way to go to capture the PC market for the general public.

Yeah.. Mercedes, BMW and Bentley have a much smaller market share as well.

Most people can afford to pay $400 for an Emachine, Compaq Toshiba or a $800 HP and or a 1300 Sony, max 2000 for a Sony. A smaller percentage of people can afford or want to afford the Mac pricing. Most people don't give a shit about computers and just want it to work at the most affordable price, I think that is the majority, same goes for most car owners.

Apple doesn't strip their machines down, you want quality you have to pay for quality and considering what all they give you it's still one hell of a deal. If Sony were giving you what Mac does, Sony would charge triple the price of a Mac.

I just recently switched to Mac after I was seeking out a good, quality 17" laptop, only thing I was willing to buy was Sony, which I have 3 Sony computers, it was 2k and looked rather boring and plain. I wanted something different and new, and the 17" MacBook Pro looked great and would be something new and different. So I bought one back in July. I love it and I don't plan on ever buying another pc again. Remind you I am not pc dumb, I was in IT for 15 years.

I just like how mac does everything better, only way to understand this is to either believe other mac users or buy one yourself and see... It's the only sticker I have ever put on my car, so that should say something..

Your absolutely right.. Jaccob

That is why I use both ( Plus my ipod is superior to my zune so I know what your saying there )

I love my MAC pro book only problem is I cant find all the programs I love to use on my PC so I just have both.

I actually just got a new program called "boot camp" that allows me to use both OPERATING SYSTEMS now cause MAC started using INTEL processors and similar infastructure.

I have played around with the program yet but Im excited to use it and see how it works.

BTW.. How is your BMW treating you?

Im so in love with the new body styles.

**LiveTwinksCam** · 09-08-2007, 05:59 PM
