MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

I get a kick out of Enderle's continued slight's against Apple by always tying OS X development to what Vista was originally intended to be. Don't folks get credit for what they delivered in the business world, not for what they dreamed of delivering?

Clearly the man doesn't understand software development (or even what a OS vs. application is when he MS helped write the original Mac OS, but then later changed the text after the fallout). OSes may have similar 30,000 ft views, but implementation is in the details. And Enderle doesn't really have to provide any in his position as paid shill for MS and SCOX.

I think Enderle must have had a run-in with Steve Jobs. Probably after he published his controversial paper predicting the decline in Apple's market share way back when. He's pretty much been down on Apple since.

There's a revealing comment in http://www.technewsworld.com/story/35891.html where he says:
"I don't like religious zealots either, but I'll wait until I retire to comment on them."

If anything, it shows Enderle is a survivor (and perhaps SJ has a brutal a reputation towards finishing careers as is rumored). He obviously strike a chord with a large number of folks.

If only because his opinions mattered, and not because they generate a morbid curiousity like a car wreck on the side of the road.

@MDN: "Endearle's scribblings and the material that regularly exits the rear end of a bull are genetically identical."

Well, just for the fun of it, consider this:
"Scribblings" are non-biological products of a neurobiological process in a human being (mammal if you want to debase Enderle). Scribblings therefore have no genetic material, but their producer (the mammal) does. The average composition of dry feces is 40-60% roughage (indigestible plant ingredients, and un-absorbable lipids) and the other 40-60% is actually dead bacteria. Now that is material quite rich in DNA, especially the bacterial components.

If we were to assume that MDN meant to assert that the genes of the producer of the scribbles were identical to the genetic material found in bovine feces, it would be safe to assume that they are asserting that Enderle DNA is identical to that of E-Coli (a common bacteria in fecal matter). If that is the case, then one could argue that MDN is claiming that Enderle, unlike the rest of humanity, is not the product of millions of years of evolution, but is a pile of microbes that is somehow capable of producing "scribblings"....

Someone said Microsoft will try to copy Leopard... impossible. They can't even ship a bare-bones Vista in half a decade... they can't copy something in a few months.

I think that this guy can thank MDN for the majority of his web traffic. Thanks MDN, keep up the great "news" reporting.

You'd think the latest ad campaign would be proof enough that Apple is fully behind Mac OS X, but obviously some people just don't get it.
If Apple did abandon the Mac it would have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, by licensing out OS X. I mean, why just scrap a multi-hundred-million investment and your main differentiating factor?

Microsoft is an armpit.

Bill Gates is a public hair.

STEVEN BALLMER IS A WHIP PIG

@AJazz - "Apple needs to beat it's security programmers with a board full of rusty nails right now.

I won't say why, you'll know if it makes the press tommorow.

It's bad, really bad."

Lay it on us NOW. "....you'll know if it makes the press tommorow" is either a carrot in front of the donkey, or there is no info. So if it is not in the press tomorrow then there is not a problem?

Don't leave me hangin' - not cool

Okay I had to do it. Go to this link for Comic

Enderle also seems not to comprehend that Apple's share of its target market - consumers - is higher than its overall share. The figures are skewed by Mac users being forced to use PCs at work. Apple needs to get a firm figure of its share of the home market and push the point.

Can someone send Enderle back to where he's from? Uranus.

Macview that is PRICELESS!!!!

Well it has to said, if not already by someone. He definitely has abandoned his brain. When did it happen? How long ago?

The trolls have really been coming out of the woodwork lately. Although annoying, I also take it as a good sign. With the recent upsurge of Macintosh popularity and good news along with the increasing woes of Microshaft, it is clear that the True Believers of Bill are getting desperate. The Bizarroworld fantasies of Enderle also mirror the crumbling MS empire. As such folks realize that they have less and less to actually hit Apple with, they resort to make-believe and trolling. Sad, really.

But times are good for Apple, and they are only going to get better and better.

I've figured it out -- MacDude is Rob Enderle!!!

Where's my prize???

Oh, and memo to Mr. Enderle -- when Steve Jobs walks out on the stage at MacWorld 2007 and demonstrates Leopard while announcing its availability, would you like your crow barbecued, fried, or lightly sauteed?

MW=right; wouldn't it be nice to be right once in a while, Mr. Enderle?

A solid 10% of the consumer (ie. home user) market by the end of 2007 and 15% by the end of 2008.

Enderle,

You are the biggest moron in the history of technology journalism, bar none. You know nothing about the market, you fail to acknowledge the real truth, and you must be on Microsoft's payroll to be spewing out the kind of senseless, reckless garbage you have been for years. Your facts are inaccurate, your comments are just plain stupid, and further your articles are useless to anyone in the industry.

What blows my mind is that I develop on the Windows platform, and even I can see that Mac OS X is the OS that may break MS' dominance in this industry. You however fail to acknowledge even the slightest hint that Apple is blowing Microsoft out the door constantly and consistantly. You don't even deserve to be acknowledged. Get a brain.

Yadda yadda yadda.

How many times is Enderle going to keep repeating this old chestnut? He whips it out over and over.

What it is is a roarshach test that shows his fixation on market share is something he can't let go of. How Apple operates is not how he expects any rational organization to act, so therefore, Apple is just taking their time getting there. In never occurs to him that someone might actually believe something is worth doing without actually doubling market share.

So he keeps repeating it over and over and over in hopes that some day it will come true, and he can once again proclaim himself the prophet of the tech world!

What a piece of work he is. He reminds me of a pit bull that can't let go of what's it's bit.

Bozo

How does one become part of "The Enderle Group"? Is there an application I can fill out? Do I have to get naked and let the Dark Brotherhood paddle my bare ass till its red?

French proverb: "Si ma tante en avait... on l'apperait Mon Oncle!"

"If my aunt had balls, we should call her Uncle!"

My cursory search of 10.5 delays revealed that Apple would likely extend the release date of Leopard by 1 to 2 months. Compare this to Microsoft’s Vista, which is both 5 years behind schedule and contains fewer features than promised.

Is Apple’s “delay” due to incompetence? Is Apple’s “delay” a shrewd business move? Is Apple’s “delay” due to the media’s misjudging of the actual release date? Certainly, one could argue that a delay of 2 months is insignificant compared to 5 years. In addition, when one considers that Vista, if and when it is finally released, will be a meager imitation of Apple’s 10.4 it makes Microsoft’s efforts seem even more pathetic.

MORE FUD FROM THE CRAP SHOVELLER THAT IS ENDERLE.

I seriously wonder about that guy's sanity.

'Oh Apple doubles it's market share - it will then drop OS X'

What planet are you on???

End of story.

Macview....most excellent!!!!!

Macview you read my mind with your ragmag cover! After reading the latest I was convinced Enderle has been starting to sound like Batboy stories in the Globe or whatever that ragpaper is.

Make your inside story: Steve Jobs is an Alien from planet Zog, sent to change the world and destroy fat loud mouth Monkeyboys.

And the rest of you don't get mad at MDN for showing Enderle's stories it's their job to collect ALL Apple news or news that directly affects Apple. It's up to you to choose which headlines to read. And if you don't want to give Enderle more hits, just read what MDN gives us and don't click on any links TO the actual story. Even though we hate him, as they say, you need to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Important to know what the assh....is up to. He's almost laughable if you didn't know some PC weenies believe him. There is truth in time...be patient grasshopper.

I went to Taco Bell last night. Had 9 Burritos, Nachos, 4 Tacos & a Chalupa. Then went home and took an Enderle.

So MacRaven,

How much do you think MDN gets paid to link to Enderle's postings? And, should we take MDN's "take" as the gospel, or develop our own opinions. Not repsonding to a "take" is akin to acknowledgement whether we agree or not.

If you don't like what Bush does, but sit idly by, then you implicitely accept his actions.

That moron Enderle's next topic: If Paris Hilton looses again at the casino, she should abandon her Bentley.

Enderle is a complete idiot. Mac's market share is growing, not shrinking you fool! And Apple is making money! Why would they quit making an OS? This is absurd.
