Moreover:

The release of a 7″ tablet proves that Apple now cares as much, if not more, about market share than innovation or profitability. iOS is in the nice position to be defending a large market share, which is satisfying but ultimately a dangerous place to stand.

The continued foot-dragging on producing high-margin professional workstations and enterprise-level computing products also shows that Apple isn’t concentrating on profit, but rather market share. Here Apple seems to be making a bet (a bad bet, in my opinion) that everyone on the planet prefers tiny lightweight computers to powerhouses. Cray and IBM, etc prove otherwise — a missed profit opportunity for Apple. In the Mac business unit, Apple instead is obsessing about market share it holds in laptops.

Apple on the other hand has never played to Wall Street’s tune and this has put fear into Wall Street. If more companies were as independent as Apple from Wall Street’s charm and manipulation, Wall Street might lose its power to influence and prey. That’s why Wall Street is trying its leveled best to belittle Apple at every opportune moment.

Apple’s products (currently) are essentially the best available at any price.
So ends your visionless comparison.

Oh yeah, and Google gets bought by Yahoo, Samsung gets bought by Kia and just makes cars and ships, and Amazon is bought by Walmart (but Bezos is out).

Unless Cook & Company get their head out of their azz we are looking at the John Sculley II era of Apple, where a huge lead on the competition was pissed away by bozos floundering without direction and a unified purpose.

The party lasted a long time and only the return of His Steveness turned the thing around. Had he chosen to walk away after the merger to enjoy his wealth and other business (Pixar), Apple would be talked about like Commodore and Atari among computer geeks and you would be listening to music on you Brown Zune- tape drive edition.

The End.
