@princeton and @raswan yes I know how can stats can be used to mislead and that everybody does it, but tell me any other computer company that has grown as much as Apple in the last year, they are all in decline.

Apple is the biggest technology company in the world right know and right know it's worth more than MSFT and Intel combined, and if this growth is not a byproduct of creating great quality hardware AND software then why was Apple worth 96 times less than MSFT ten years ago?

You mean to tell me Foxconn isn't?

Apple is the most successful propaganda machine in the world, I'll give you that.

Apple is the Information Age's technological visionary at the moment - it will change of course.
But I can't say I'm sold on their vision or the Information Age really.

Kids (and big kids) with their eyes glued to tiny rectangular surfaces eighteen hours a day watching flickering colored dots does not exactly bring a joyful tear to my eye.

I'm hoping that somebody will forget to refill all the world's food vending machines, and they'll simply die out....

Lion at $30 is a good deal, except for one thing. It won't run on anything I own.
