In short, we do their job for them and they get paid handsomely to regurgitate it in a more finanical approach.
Ah, but they do the job for us. By regurgitating our upbeat speculation, they move buyers from the mainstream into Apple stock, which raises the stock price, which allows us (who bought in earlier) to take our profits. When the speculation doesn't pan out, those buyers hastily depart, which allows us to buy back in.
Without analysts, we'd never be able to buy low and sell high.
The 5th gen and 6th gen iPods will be the same size.
And exactly how do you think they are going to fit a battery large enough to power a 3.5 or 4 inch screen in a case that thin?
Short answer: You can't. Even if the iPod face is the same size it would have to be significantly thicker.. The leather cases are specifically tailored for the fifth gen.
Ahh, a grammar watcher. If you were to correct all of the grammar and spelling errors on these pages, you would be busy for quite a while and not fix everything correctly. There are several versions of English present, as well as various levels of formality and usage. There are also quite a few people here who do not speak English natively, and yet do a magnificent job, better than most native speakers of English do at foreign languages.
These pages tend to follow spoken English more than written, as they are taking the place of conversation. The communication here is also informal (sometimes extremely so), so people can speak (or write) as they please. Let it go, and focus on what is being said.
You passed the grammar test. However, you did not do so well on the comprehension part. Now, back to the topic of this thread.
The initial story suggested that there was a gap in Apple's notebook lineup. What will they fill it with? A lower-end MBP or a higher end iBook replacement?
They try and they get as much information as possible.
Therefore, rephrased, they try and they get as much information as possible.

Also, the very thing that you object to is called False Coordination. It is used in informal English. Which I believe we practice here as this forum is more like a conversation than a treatise.
Coordinators are sometimes used without performing any strictly coordinating role:
I'll come when I'm good and ready
Here, the adjectives good and ready are not really being coordinated with each other. If they were, the sentence would mean something like:
I'll come [when I'm good] and [when I'm ready]
Clearly, this is not the meaning which good and ready conveys. Instead, good and intensifies the meaning of ready. We might rephrase the sentence as
I'll come when I'm completely ready.
Good and ready is an example of FALSE COORDINATION -- using a coordinator without any coordinating role. It is sometimes called PSEUDO-COORDINATION.
False coordination can also be found in informal expressions using try and:
Please try and come early
I'll try and ring you from the office
Here, too, no real coordination is taking place. The first sentence, for instance, does not mean Please try, and please come early. Instead, it is semantically equivalent to Please try to come early.
In informal spoken English, and and but are often used as false coordinators, without any real coordinating role. The following extract from a conversation illustrates this:
Speaker A: Well he told me it's this super high-flying computer software stuff. I'm sure it's the old job he used to have cleaning them
Speaker B: But it went off okay last night then did it? Did you have a good turnout? [S1A-005-95ff]
Here, the word but used by Speaker B does not coordinate any conjoins. Instead, it initiates her utterance, and introduces a completely new topic.
And exactly how do you think they are going to fit a battery large enough to power a 3.5 or 4 inch screen in a case that thin?
Short answer: You can't. Even if the iPod face is the same size it would have to be significantly thicker.. The leather cases are specifically tailored for the fifth gen.
Perhaps it might be an OLED screen. They have them in that size.
For those of us living in the more distant reaches of the planet, who the heck is Richard Gardner?
That's a rather odd question for you to have asked in this thread. Should I assume that you HAVE read the article, where it tells who he is, or have you just come upon the thread without first reading it?

Apple just introduced the leather cases for the fifth generation iPod that ARE NOT EVEN SHIPPING YET!
Do you really think they will roll out the 6th gen iPod before the cases for the fifth gen even hit the shelves?
Analysts are schmucks...
The 5th gen and 6th gen iPods will be the same size.

I hope it is a smaller MBP.

I was sure and I told everybody. General rules tend to bite you in the arse. As always it depends on the part of speech.
This was dinner conversation for years.

The use of the letter i should be capitalized when referring to yourself.

I'm not really "into" these grammatical and spelling debates, unless someone is doing so poorly that it becomes difficult to understand the post.
BUT, if you are going to attempt to make a point, then at least spell check, and re-read first!
Your correction to your last post, in response to TednDi, contains another error.
Please try to prevent a downward spiral. Otherwise, posts will continually be corrected by other posters, and nothing else will get accomplished.
Thank you.
