    And Todd Wasserman claims Google is eating Apple's lunch because they spend more on M&A than Apple does.

    None of which show us too much, if any, of Apple's future plans. All are just extensions of what Apple has been doing for quite a while now.

    Just this week's shuck 'n' jive from the analysts. Nothing to see here.

    I get this uneasy feeling that we'll get overinflated figures from Wall Street which Apple won't meet and then the stock will sell off. :(
    Regardless, as long as the analysts are wrong, the stock will go down for any excuses...such as next decades' sales forecast..

    I honestly thought Cook would have shown more of Apple's vision for the future in 2013. The revamped iPads and the 5c just wasn't it.

    I'm hoping that 2014 is the year that Cook unveils a bit of the roadmap.

    It's not in Apple's DNA to talk about roadmaps... They may introduce some new products that analysts will try to use to guess where Apple is going with them, but that's about it.

    ...and that conclusion is what Apple want's its competitors to come to.

    I think you'll be hoping for a long time. Apple is never going to do this. They'll unveil new products and let you try and figure out what the grand plan is.

    ... and this is why Walter Isaacson says the things he says... so we shouldn't complain when he does.

    Hogwash. Walter already knows this so he should keep his mouth shut.
