  • Microsoft earnings reveal new Surface is no match for iPad

    alanhalanh
    "During Microsoft's legally mandated earnings call..."

    Really odd phrasing.  Contextually, "legally mandated" implies they're only making the earnings call because they are required to do so by law.  It's a simple earnings call.  Publicly traded companies do them all the time.  During Microsoft's earnings call is how that should be written, imo.  Afaik, earnings call aren't even legally mandated.

    On topic: Surface devices have never been competition for iPads or Macs.  Never will be either.  Sales Numbers of Surface (hmmmm... could be a cool band name :smile: ) devices have always been teeny tiny compared to iPads or Macs, and even smaller compared to PC's and Android tablets.  Heck Chromebooks blew past Surface devices in sales numbers.



    "its Microsoft Cloud alone service generated $20.7 billion." is strange phrasing too.

    I think was meant to read "its Microsoft Cloud service alone generated $20.7 billion."

  • No, Apple's new Mac Pro isn't overpriced

    alanhalanh
    Why would a pro do that? As a consumer I would easily consider that. But not a pro working for an agency. I am a pro and i pay for all my own hardware. You are totally wrong to assume I would not install my own RAM to save money! Just because I'm a freelancer doesn't mean i will throw money away for the hell of it! You have obviously NEVER run your own business.

  • Here's why you're only getting 1% cash back with the Apple Card

    alanhalanh
    To get the best deals on Apple hardware it’s often best to buy from a 3rd party reseller like B&H. You can save a lot more by doing that than the 3% offered by the card!
