Especially at launch, there is no reason for anyone to subsidize the iPhone, I believe that demand will outstrip supply even at the unsubsidized price until after Christmas. Remember that three years ago, plenty of people were buying the RAZR at $5…

This is an example of how these people who are suing Apple are thinking about their 'intellectual property' From the Ali-G show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkuOuxRD1Bc Start it at 0:50 and watch to 1:30. (Ali-G is a comedy show by the wa…

Amazon and Netflix have been making recommendations to me about products based on my habits since the 90's.

Regarding Ballmer's comment about Apple making a lot of money, I would say that is a good thing. Companies exist to make money. Let's have a look at the performance of AAPL vs MSFT over the past 5 years. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=5y&s…

I'm sick of analysts and others whining about the iPhone's price. When the RAZR came out, it started at $800 and people gobbled them up. They will do the same with the iPhone. Then in 2 years or so, new, better iPhone models will come out to sit …
