My best advice to friends is, "never become entrenched". Once you start choosing products and services based solely on the brand name, you are done. Always judge each individually on its own merit. The more expensive option will always appear simple…

I don't understand why apple customers continually applaud apple for taking a greater proportion of their money. Quote: Originally Posted by MacRR What's the next round of commercials? Making fun of apple for having all that money?

Especially conservative now since they missed their estimates last quarter.

Does this mean more consumers will flock to the one that costs more? A certain percentage always will. Those with stature are compelled.

If I'm reading this right, this story is unbiased. Cheers AI!!!

What she is saying is the old adage, 'the best camera is the one you have with you'. The iPhone is an excellent choice, but this was not a discussion of which phone offers the best camera. It was about photography in general. The quality improvement…

The extra 50% would further drive R&D, bonuses, dividends, etc. I was a Mac loyalist/customer from 94 to 07 spending more to get the best. It made the purchasing decision easier until one day (I think around the time the iOS/itunes walls went up…

No, market share does matter. Mind you, this is not a case of Android edging out Apple by slim margin. There were three times as many Android devices sold; 60 million vs 20 million. It's a different strategy and it seems to be working. It doesn't me…

There you go again, starting off with excuses. Even if Apple made a 'plethora' of devices, they still wouldn't match sales of android devices.

The equivalent of taking their football and going home. and by the way, I love the headlines you guys come up with. They all read the same, as if at the end of each one it states "doesn't matter, Apple is still better".

I applaud carriers for rejecting Apple's terms. The result of acceptance is increased costs for ALL subscribers. What would be great is if the Big 3 (or 4, 5, 6) US carriers came together and negotiated common terms in the best interest of all carri…

Should have added the word 'Superior' to the first sentence. "... gives it a lower pixel density and poorer color accuracy than Apple's Superior Retina Display without that, it just sounds boring.

The enterprise is still a very Windows-dominated world, for better or for worse. Windows 8 tablets may take a year to come around and when they do, their numbers will surpass iPad and Android tablets combined within months. In the consumer market, I…

Headlines are comical, so buttery toward apple. It's funny, which is good, but hurts credibility and legitimacy.
