  • "Apple remains an important partner for Macworld and IDG World Expo has been in discussions with Apple officials for some time about the move back to Boston," the representative said. "Since we just heard of Apple's position, we can only speculate a…

  • Most likely a surge in internet usage not marketshare yet... you have to look at the reports of what output other PC OEM are doing for last quarter. Apple shipped how many Macintosh units? 700K+ What did Dell, IBM, and others do? That's a hard nu…

  • Dorsey was never right. I never believed him. He made it up, just like the rest of them.... You are right though, the boards do get interesting with a good rumor or two.... I liked Kormac's stories though, they were fun
    in Where is he? Comment by jpf October 2002
  • Apple can increase marketshare, the scenario of BetaMax is not totally accurate. Beta format found itself thriving in the high-end, professional video industry. I'm seeing marketshare increase first hand, I've converted 3 people to switch. All d…
    in How can Apple increase Market Share? Comment by jpf October 2002
  • Simple. Its called "Positioning" : Implement a "Glove" strategy. Give the OS away. Period. Microsoft or Dell cannot go here. That ALONE would drive new hardware sales enough to get a 10% market share in a few years. Do you think in 4-5 years,…

  • I kid you not! This coming October, I will have helped a 3rd person switch! Get this, he used to be a NT administrator (now sells real estate) and hasn't been in the computer scene for years. He wants me to help him next month and go to the Atla…

  • Yea, some of us are stuck during the day on PCs. Sorry guys, I have to admit, I work with Windows where I consult. They are a Unix and Windows shop and I don't see Macs around, so I use their HP windows 2000 junk to surf AI. I have Macs and Li…

  • PS2. Why? Twenty-Eight words: Microsoft will realize their butts are being spanked and then decide to kill the Xbox once they figure out they cannot become a monopoly in every technology market.

  • Jobs can be a very technical person and understands what true technology innovation is. Its been his life, you guys ought to read some history of Jobs and what he did before, during and after college. In his late teens and early 20's. His work with …

  • The theaters I goto have full-blown commericals before the hollywood trailers. I've seen Nike, Coca-Cola and other big brand ads and they look like a mini movie. They are great, you think you are watching a trailer, then oh my gosh its a commerical.…
    in The new switch ads are out Comment by jpf September 2002
  • I think they are brilliant ads. Very effective. And if Apple had the balls, they would pay for trailer placement (at the beginning of movies): 1) Show the teenager "switch" ads for teenager movies. 2) Show the "mom-like" and "teacher-like" …
