    I agree. Apple were a leader, but iApple (post Jobs) are not, they're a less is more corporation that have long lost their edge...

    iApple does still sell well, but the trend is very clear...

    As above, I see the company in two lights: Apple (Jobs time) were innovative and interesting, making excellent products; iApple (post Jobs) have lost their mojo, and are just a less costs more corporation...

    Sadly, people are stupid. History lists no end of stupidity. Bankers are rich from stealing from pension funds and hard earned and paid for (not by the bankers!)mortgages... Bush was the most powerful man in the world. Fox News has a massive customer base. Perhaps most telling to the stupidity of the world is the power that religion still exerts over so many...

    Yes, for several years now. When did Jobs die?

    Is that why the new I phone sold 9 million units the first two weeks. Outselling all previous models?

    Something has gone seriously fucking wrong when people start treating competition between one grimly exploitative company and another as some kind of spectator sport.

    You can't fault Apple for having all these dedicated followers desperate to say they have their hands on the new one.

    That's an interesting point, AO. &, I'm really not sure. I suspect that the likes of Samsung and iApple lie non-stop; marketting has always been deceiptful, but seems to be getting much worse. I really don't trust any of them. I kinda go by what I see travelling around... Samsung sell loads, Apple sells much less in some markets than they did a few years ago (Thailand is a prime example), Blackberry is all but finished (Again, Thailand is a good example; everyone had them 6 or 7 years ago, now you never see one), Sony are on the up (many more Sony mobiles around than a couple of years ago), HTC, despite having an excellent flagship and a good range, don't seem to be selling units (I've seen very few in Thailand, Middle East or Thailand). But, I obviously do not have complete visibility...

    Samsung market share seems to have peaked, but they are still selling in very high numbers. Apple market share is very good, but it's dropping (the market grows day by day with the likes of India and China massively expanding, so numbers don't indicate as well as % of market share, imo). Sony market share is small but increasing.

    As I say, just a personal overview, but I don't trust the companies that spend more on marketting than product development...

    Never been disappointed by Sony. Lately I made a couple of mistakes, bought a German car, a Korean phone and TV and an American computer. Wrong four times. For future purchases, back to Sony and Toyota, can't make a mistake with that.

    indeed, and that's what AQ and Osama were using to communicate

    I wonder what would be the government excuse to spy on everyone after it was revealed that none of the terrorists used the Internet

    ^are they men, Paps? We know how you move...

    Whilst she's a classic Jap AV fully supported by one of our members, and somewhat cliched, I still think you have to go a long way to beat the perfection that is Reon Kadena...
