Urrghh... Steve rant about this whole cliché makes me want to throw up!
Me want Ultrabook
True, and I think he's about to experience a little media revenge along similar lines to this article
Not that it will matter though. Apple fanbois are among some of the most loyal....
Although you could replace "loyal" with a few choice words. Point is that I don't think Jobs cares, nor the people that buy his stuff.
When Steve Jobs said all smartphones have reception problems I went ballistic, especially since he mentioned my lovely, reliable Bold 9700 as one of the phones with reception problems...I hate Mr Jobs.
Apple have looked invincible before, and it's all gone wrong before - and the last time it was when they were convinced that they could release anything they wanted with a fruit logo on and people would buy it; have they peaked? I don't think they've necessarily jumped the shark, but the increasingly strident cries of "there is no problem" seem to be falling on hostile ears. The climbdown from their instructions to their support guys to under no circumstances hand out free bumpers is embarassing, and the omission of a camera from the iPad with an obvious intention to add one later and get people to buy a new device when they release one with is likely to prove too cynical for even the hardiest fanboi to swallow without demur. THIS seems to be becoming a more widely accepted view...
Calm down guys. It will all be ok...

Revealed this week as the new world leader in software insecurity too. Going to be a rough summer for them I think, but when you grow as much as they have as quickly as they have, there are going to be problems, how they handle them will determine whether it's the beginning of the end or a soon forgotten blip.

my mate dave who works in blockbusters and also does the car boot sales on a sunday has contacts in the business (i mean he gets dvds of movies that aren't out in the cinema yet), and he says that apple are working on a new revolutionary device that will take the world at storm and capatalise on the demographics that show that 90% of apple owners are single males, with the release of a new product called the irubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish, which is a mastabatory aid

Yup, looks like Apple hasn't peaked....... yet......
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
I dont think Apple has peaked at all.
Its possible they have peaked, based on current marketing cobblers.
When you describe a "giant iPhone" as "revolutionary", youre obviously insane.
Its the fine line between "revolutionary" and "reinventing the wheel" that you have to watch, and theres only a finite amount of new things you can try to introduce before people really have no use for it.
I mean, back in the day there was the Newton, it was great, not by todays standards of course, but still it was a nice device, filled a niche.
And was that marketing successful or unsuccessful, seeing as Apple has sold 3.27 million of them?Originally Posted by BobF64
Id say the marketing was irrelevant, they sold 3.27 million to sycophantic fanbois, the marketing is to try and sell it to everyone else
I always love how much people say the iPhone was a revolution, yet the features on it were nothing special, the fact it didn't even pack 3G. The only good thing about it was the UI, i mean symbian phones had been packing multitasking since the N series had come out, and that has only been added to the iPhone in the more recent updates, that as well as video, which is not exactly ground breaking. The reason why apple has done so well is due to the Ipod marketing halo, before the ipod wasn't Apple on the brink of going bust? (A quick check of share prices might be in order). Also the number of people that bought ipods that simple just broke within the first few weeks, then just got another one as it was "cool", maybe thats why they've done so well, releasing broken products and just using the "our customers are morons and will just pay for new ones" iPhone 4 antenna issue anyone?
