    This is obviously a lie. No, there doesn't have to be any explanation for why it is, it just is. Apple can't be doing that well. Obviously they must bow to the demands of idiots who don't know what they actually want, claiming all manner of new products must be released or features must be added.

    That about cover it? :p

    Nobody buys tablets to..."use."
    They're just hardware specs to be worn on your sleeve. /s

    And the Surface Pro and Surface RT have a kickstand.  See.  click.

    MacBook Air does not require a kickstand and the screen can be positioned in a range of angles.

    Android is fine for the tech-saavy and tinkerers.  For the general population, Android is the biggest, steaming pile of garbage.  Fandroids should be downright ashamed of themselves for spinning Android to make it sound it's a product for the masses.  It is not.  Sure it it the largest installed base, but the reality is that Android is being used mainly as a dumbphone, and because it's "free", no one bothers to really make it work well.



    Android is crap.  It's makes me cringe when I use it.  I can navigate it, but those poor users that didn't necessarily know better have to deal with it on a daily basis.



    Hahahahaha...  But the Surface RT has a kickstand.  See.  click...  I would fall out of my chair if they put  a kickstand on a Windows phone.  Maybe they should, they might actually sell some of them.  As for Android.  I never even considered the platform due to the way they release the OS. That's a sure tip off.  Google isn't a personal computing company that has experience with OSs and computers, so I can't buy into their little scheme to buy market share to make Ad based revenues.

    Sure do.

    Apple does well: stock price falls.
    Apple does poorly: stock price falls more.
    Apple does identically: stock price falls the most.
    Apple cures all forms of cancer and distributes said cure in a single pill, under no manufacturing constraints, to anyone who needs it, for $10, making a profit of $9 on each pill sold: stock goes to zero, since $10 is too much for the pill.

    Well if you check after hours trading its up $20 so not only does slurpy have no idea about stocks your first 3 are wrong. But I'll grant you - this time is different because prior to the last 3 quarters the stock got bid up in anticipation of a stellar results, now because of all the unwarrananted negativity there hasn' been the hsitorically large run up so ita behaving more like traditional stock where it actually rises after the numbers beat the whisper numbers!

    I made several 1000 today . I expect the stock to be range bound bweetween 420 and 465 until new products/ next quarter results are announced and the usual hysteria builds about iWatch, TV and so on and whatever other fanciful notions the blogosphere shitcans us to move the price.I bet the dufuses that sold 30mins before the bells are going "oh Frak me!"

    All of you commentators missed that the Indomitable Surface tablet/laptop/desktop has shot past the long-dead HP Touchpad, the stealth marketed Motorola Xoom, the non-thriving Toshiba Thrive, and the still twitching but dead RIMM Playbook. 


     


    Look out Apple, Microsoft has you in it's sights, monkey boy is warming up his dance moves, you are doomed, I tell you, DOOMED!

    And it keeps the screen angled at 22° because Steven Sinofsky says that's the optimal viewing angle. Never mind that people would view their Surface at different heights from their eye-level.

    But the Kickstand goes CLICK.  That's the reason to buy one.

    Let's describe the statistics more accurately: 84.3% isn't "nearly seven out of eight." It is just over five out of six. We don't need to stretch the interpretation: the numbers speak for themselves%u2013and for Apple!!
