    Yes. An article entirely sourced from unnamed former employees surely makes it clear:



    APPLE IS DOOMED!?



    Let us commence with the elaborate parsing of the inevitable chain of collapse based on speculative rumor.

    You realize, don't you, that Apple's average ANNUAL revenue growth over the last five years is slightly more than 43 percent? And you're saying that by fall of 2014, Apple's revenues will not have grown at all from today?

    He thinks that Apple will collapse over the next 3 years.

    He was one of the guys who created EOF 2.x and knows the ins/outs of every bit of Cocoa. He also gave the main keynote on the Frameworks at WWDC 2011.



    You're absolutely right. Craig really should be given primary presentation repsonsibilty for product announcements.

    I've never said "Apple is doomed" - that's all yours. But the Apple we'll see in three years will not be bigger than the Apple we see today.



    You're right, they won't be bigger.



    They'll be GINORMOUS-ER!!!



    Don't feel bad, I think it sucks you didn't by the stock when you had a better opportunity, too.
