Wow, that's kinda like saying the last time you listened to music it was the Bee Gees and Donna Summer on tape.
Not saying you have bad taste, just that Macs have changed more than you might realize. Similar to how Simon Fuller on "American Idol" isn't very much like Ed McMahon was on "Star Search."
except that ed mcmahon is no longer around, and my mac II still boots!
Ubuntu makes for a very good and secure netbook OS as it's permission based copy of Unix, it can be themed to look like XP or even OS X.
I like the fact that I can compile a Linux kernel that is 100% free of NSA and Halliburton spyware, unlike Microsoft's. But otherwise, so much is wrong with Linux and not getting better. Check out Artem's list of problems...
Yes, and the pessimists / trolls here that seem to know exactly how to run Apple are mysteriously silent. Probably busy fabricating another piece of FUD "facts".
The latest NPD numbers have provided even more confidence to Munster and Piper Jaffray, who have called 2010 the "Year of the Mac." He said Monday that the easing comparisons from 2009 represent a buying opportunity for investors.
Watch out for the correction!
Apple is the third largest capitalization on the U.S stock market. But Apple's world market share is only 4% and Steve Jobs is co-authoring his memoirs because he is about to leave Apple.
While investors might like their Macs or iPhones, they should take a hard look at Apple and ask themselves whether the stock is overvalued or if it can still double in value in the coming year.
Clearly, I don't believe that Apple's stock price will double over the next year. Caveat emptor.

Can you link to at least one post of yours on AI where you've had something positive to say about Steve Jobs and Apple?

Yep that's why I said "Ubuntu makes a good netbook OS" and it's already on the desktop.
Dell and others sell Ubuntu Linux machines. Adobe even makes Flash for Linux.
Apple won't sell a inexpensive secure netbook, so that only leaves insecure Windows, usually XP.
A nice little secret I've found is sites will often give more free dl time to Linux users than Mac or Windows users. Pop a url in Safari and up comes a pay wall, pop the same in Firefox on Linux and it goes through, same IP, no charge

There is no confirmation that Steve Jobs is about to leave Apple.
Apple's Mac market share is naturally bound by the parameters of the Premium market. OS X is not universally licensed, and the entry fee starts at around $1000 US, unless we're talking about the Mini.
The stock is actually undervalued. Apple has initiated a new computing paradigm, and at the head of this new paradigm is the iPad and the entire ecosystem that comes with it. The industry is still in shock over it. The integration, ease of use, and possibilities offered by this platform currently has no peer. The iPad *is* the future of "computing." Not notebooks. Not desktops. Not netbooks. "Computer" no longer refers to generally accepted ideas about boxes with physical keyboards. The transition has begun. Apple has sniffed out this market and has planned everything this way quite brilliantly. They've got it all locked up and consumers and developers alike want to be a part of it. This new decade belongs to Apple.
Apple's current lineup of products (iPhone especially) has taken the stock to around $215-220. This is the new low-end. This is the new bottom-end for Apple stock. The iPad will take Apple stock to the next level.

Apple is like the light bulb and the automobile put together. There is no business cycle for them anymore.
I always feel as though claims of this kind should come with money-back guarantees, or not be made at all. It's hard enough to predict a stock's price over the next two weeks, but in two years? That's practically a lifetime in the stock market.
As for undervalued, this is a term that gets thrown around quite a bit. It doesn't really mean much of anything. The markets set stock valuations every day. It's not worth more or less than what the markets say it is on any given day.
It doesn't mention how Apple is going to pull off this $500 share price. Increase of desktop market share or iPhone market share? $500 seems incredibly high. Apple is still hovering around the $220 mark and $250 seems like a ways off, especially if the DJIA remains weak. It's just that Apple would have rise $100 each year and that's hard for me to comprehend. The stock was $202 in December 2007 and now in 2010 it's $223 or so. Even though the company performed very well over those couple of years, the share price hasn't moved very much at all (that's if you throw out that crazy down to $85 dip). I just hope he's right. If Apple reaches $300 a share by the end of this year, I'll consider it's possible.

Hasn't moved much? The stock went from under $200 and is now over $220 in just over a week. You have conveniently thrown out the market's low point do to a global recession and then chosen specific datas to show that the stock and company are somehow stagnant. Please!
I'm not sure what you people expect from a stock. It goes up and down, it's in its nature. Getting to $250 is no big deal, the same goes for dropping to $200. This all depends on many factors that are highly unpredictable, especially for tech stocks.
To justify a $500 share value, Apple would minimally have to double earnings and demonstrate a solid prospect of continuing that growth rate into the future. Within two years? I wonder if that's possible.
As long as the current one's are selling great, there is little pressure to update them...
Bummer, because I too am waiting for a refresh. I don't have a Mac now and would really like to get back to them.
The last time I used a Mac regularly was the Mac II I had on my desk in the 80's.
There is pressure because Apple is currently selling them with a generation old chips. Some overlap is okay, but wait too long and you will be two generations behind. I'm sure they are waiting for the new Nvidia chip to be ready because they wouldn't want to go to the new Intel chips and offer worse graphics then the previous generation. It looks like an interesting combo. Too bad it is designed around legal issues instead of technological issues, but I don't think they compromised that much.

I use both Mac and Linux and haven't noticed that. What motivation do they have to do so?

A balanced market is always divided equally between buyers who see great potential in a stock and sellers who see much less.
Someone should put his money where his mouth is. Clearly, my money is not put on Apple stocks.
My word of caution was to warn beginning investors about the perils of following any given "analyst". Consider your investments carefully. You have been warned. Spread your investments among different companies and cash in your profits, at least half of them.
The market is balanced and you may hold a different view. It's your money, not mine. I was just trying to balance the views of "analyst" Gene Munster from Piper Jaffray. Take care.

What a rounding error!
The only thing that's stagnated is Steve Jobs' house.
The latest NPD numbers have provided even more confidence to Munster and Piper Jaffray, who have called 2010 the "Year of the Mac." He said Monday that the easing comparisons from 2009 represent a buying opportunity for investors.

If Apple is waiting for nVidia and Intel to settle things we won't see a new MBP until 2013.
I think they're taking their sweet time because sales have been so good. They simply don't feel any pressure to upgrade the machines.
Seeing as only Apple and AMD/ATi have a true working OpenCL for the CPU and GPGPU it makes sense for them to move to AMD/ATi.
