they just can’t be happy with a 92% marketshare on harddrive based music players
vroom!
Cha-ching!
I think I like your onomatopoeia better!
The U2 iPod is the most stupid thing I have seen, or at least the justification for the higher price is.
Any real U2 Fan will already have most of the Albums!!!! so there is little value in the $50 voucher as it is unlikely that they will want to buy the box set anyway!
At $149 for 16 albums the price is about $9.31 per album … this is not that cheap … but there are also extra songs. I am not sure how many of these they will sell but it is worth a try
As of last week Apple stock was the 3rd best performing stock in the S&P 500- quite a feat. It could well finish the year as THE #1 performing stock in the S&P 500.
There have been three losers in this equation:
1 Those who sold their Apple stock when it bottomed a couple of years back.
2 Those who didn’t buy during the time that it languished in the low-teens.
3 Those people still using Windows PCs.
Apple’s Market Cap (Total Value of Stock) is almost $19 Billion. Take that with approx $5.5 Billion in cash reserves and NO DEBT. The next time someone starts a rant about Steve Jobs’ pay and perks point this out. No bad for a college drop-out.
…One more thing.
If you had invested $100 US in Apple 5 years ago you would now have holdings worth almost $130. If you had invested the same $100 in Microsoft you would have about $60.
My wife is a huge U2 fan and has their albums – on TAPE! So this would be an amzing gift for any U2 fan, now where do I get $450? do they still pay for kidneys?
