    You should reconsider using words like 'moniker.'( Sets him off, since he thinks he is getting abused...)

    $275 to $300 seems a bit optimistic to me, but Jim Cramer (ever the goofball) is calling for $300 now. I can imagine $250... maybe... by next year.

    If you know me, I could care less what you call me- really. I never whine about it but I will respond when I am attacked.



    And yes I call pure fantasy for what it is when it comes to this rear view mirror analogy.

    It's more like Romper Room's Magic Mirror: " I can see Quadra, and solipsism, and anonymouse, and anantksundaram, and ....."

    Does anybody think that Apple will someday (relatively soon) move into "search" (a la Google)?



    I know it's not hardware, but there's lots of ad revenue available.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah... Heard all that before in December 2007... Analyst predicting stock price of $250.00 when it was over $199.00 and then it lost a little, went back up, went back down, down a little more, down a little more, while I waited for the rebound that never came. Instead it went down to $77.00 and took all of 2008 and nearly all of 2009 JUST to get back where it was two years ago.



    While a $275.00 price target would be nice... I'm definitely keeping my eye on it day to day and any trend downward or loss in value and I'm getting out at least keeping some of the profit it took 2 years, well, with the "crash" and subsequent 2 year climb, 4 years to make!

    Microsoft's growth channels moving forward are being outplayed by rivals on many fronts, including Apple.



    The days of one-size fits all for all computing needs are over.



    Smart phone revenue moving forward for Microsoft is very lean.

    Search engine/advertising revenue moving forward for Microsoft is very lean.

    Console revenue moving forward for Microsoft is very lean.



    With the growing swell of OS X computing platforms and with the growth of WebKit on all platforms Microsoft's OS dominance in the financial sector is waning.



    Yes, Microsoft will continue to get a stream of revenue from OEM licensing, backoffice, MSOffice and other business tools, but all of those areas are actually eroding, not expanding.



    From a financial aspect, Microsoft is contracting.

    No- because those ads are flash. Until wither Apple buys Adobe or Adobe play nice, how would it make money off flash when it discourages internet flash use.

    Windows 7 still needs anti-malware software running (8 out of 10 viruses got in) and it's going to cripple the performance of all these cheap Win7 netbooks people are going to buy this holiday season. A nice shaft in the @ss again from your friends in Redmond.



    Same old Windows, just a new face.



    And now you can't run Snow Leopard on those Atom netbooks either.



    hahaha!



    Mmm, Firefox with 15 tabs opened, 3 Explorer windows, WHS Console and Microsoft Security Essentials -> using 12% CPU which 8% is FireFox.



    Better check the facts first

    Not really, Teckstud. Search ads are not flash, look at google ads. But the idea of having Apple in the search business is hilariously wrong. It's just too much of an investment for nothing more than some 3 to 4% of share, tops. It's just not worth it, unless there are ulterior motives. Let Google have it, they are doing a fine job at it.

    thanks buddy, but ignore lists dont work when people are constantly responding to the negative comments that teckstud makes.

    I know what you're referring to here and, er... no, 8 out of 10 malware applications that were manually executed by a user in administration mode still affected Win7.



    Even Windows cannot account for stupid users.

    Your facts speak for themselves.



    Now disable your anti-malware and come back with the results. (visit a few pron sites along the way)







    Me: OS X, Firefox, VMWare, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Ubuntu, Windows 7, OpenOffice, Aperture, iPhoto (with over 8000 images) iTunes visualizer 3x (OSX, Vista and XP), chess, Google Earth and a Warptunnel screen saver as my desktop.



    Processor used 150% (two cores) on a 3 year old machine too. Cost? $1200 vs $700 "netbook"? hahhaha!! OS preference? I run them ALL!!!



    And no anti-malware running either because I don't let Windows get on the net, those beetches are sandboxed good!

    But on a more serious note:



    http://earthlink.com.com/8301-13506_...part=earthlink



    You really don get it do you.



    In the past many people just like yourself told me I was crazy for predicting aapl to exceed msft. There's a big fat "I TOLD YA SO" with all your names on it coming soon!

    10 years from the introduction of OSX was my original prediction, not far off the mark if I do say so myself.





    You can call me nostradamus if you like

    Doesn't work. I just nuked my ignore list because it doesn't really matter when a gazillion people respond to him. So why not join in the "fun" to berate him as is deserved?

    Weak stomach?



    Not that I'd blame you of course, but if you look at a chart of AAPL over the last ten years, you'll see that there never was a good place to get off the merry-go-round unless you were really good a predicting what was going to happen next and next after that. I mean, this stock has appreciated around 4,000% in 12 years. Those kinds of returns would make a drug lord envious.
