I wouldn't be surprised if Scott's is making a statement ( with the 95% stock sale) that the Apple board better give him more visible cloat in the company or he's going to go start his own. Wouldn't Steve Jobs do the same thing if he was in Scotts p…

Ha! Jesus wouldn't work for Apple either.

Why sell 95% of shares now unless you think the stock will be less in the future or possibly Scott is using one of Steve Jobs old 1997 tactics to get what he wants. http://news.cnet.com/2100-1023-202239.html "Ending a brief mystery he created, cof…

I'm actually enormously optimistic about innovation especially with new risk taking enterpeneurs. I only love Apple because of their innovation, but their current trajectory is unsustainable.

No, I think it's fun but you're obviously wound up a little too tight.

Hey Mr. Forstall, stop living in Steve's shadow and go make something that's F'N amazing. Apple will always be Steve's company, and that's just the way he designed it.

Ha! Steve would never be an 'employee' of any company because that's for tools. If he wasn't in charge of running it, he wouldn't do it.

Steve Jobs could get those who work for them to do the impossible, but apparently making stuff in the USA and paying their fair share of taxes wasn't one of them.

While the current ipod touch is still using the old A4, I think it's time for Apple to upgrade the whole ipod touch lineup with the A5 and make a new 16gb model with additional gaming functionality.

There are two things that will symbolize the peak of Apple (for a while)in my opinion. One is that Apple will make big screen TVs and two is when the 'one ring to rule them all' new HQ gets built.
