Microsoft's 'bug chicks' praise Windows 10, diss Macs in new ad campaign
Apple's had their (brilliant, award-winning) Mac vs. PC campaign, so fair enough.
Reality, however:

You can do all the marketing and dress-up you want, but the product must eventually create its own dialogue on its own merits.

Corporate culture, haste reportedly at core of Samsung mishandling of Note 7 situation
Oh they *are* cultural values. Ones that are about seniority, honour (family, patriarchal), position, and saving face.
They simply don't work in this day and age when it comes to the connection between products and their customers.
It used to be this way in many of the Asian airlines, for example (still is, in some respects.) It was seen as disrespectful and otherwise improper for subordinates (like the First Officer) to question the Captain or take the controls for the greater good, even when the latter was obviously in the wrong (and sometimes dangerously so.) This resulted in bad cockpit resource management, in turn resulting in entirely preventable tragedies.
The problem is very much cultural. Not everything translates well (or safely) into the 21st century.

Mac shipments continue to slide in Q4 as PC market grows
3.5-5 million units per quarter, as usual.
They won’t sell more than what’s roughly in this range, and they never really have, at least as long as I’ve had an account on AI.
I don’t see the issue.The market may be expanding, but in which areas? Premium devices? Budget notebooks? Apple usually rules the top of the market pyramid: unit sales are fewer but profit is plentiful. And does Apple not still command the lion’s share of profit in this area? They usually do. -
