There is no doubt that those "wilderness" years away from Apple running NeXT and Pixar shaped Jobs into becoming arguably the most admired and dominant CEO the business world has ever seen. His ouster from Apple in '85 was really a long-term blessin…

Not that I would ever need a Mac Pro but I believe Apple needs to stay in the pro computer market for all the reasons already posted. It may be a very small portion of Apple's overall business but there's still a certain type of cachet to offer the …

This is so silly that it's laughable. I've been going to China since '93 for supply chain and QC matters in the musical instrument industry which deals with woods, paint, plastic, cheap metals, etc. The factories I deal with on a regular basis ma…

Korea is the most wired nation in the world. It's as though every nook and cranny of the country has access to high-speed Internet. I go to Seoul on business every 2~3 months and it's just amazing how technologically advanced the place is. And despi…

Personally, I don't see a need for one but I'll definitely buy one or two for the kids if it's in the $250~300 range this Xmas. I've tried the Kindle Fire and other 7~8" tabs and I think this size has its uses. I have the older Kindle and prefer …

Ha! I see that the haters and the trolls are particularly bored on this Good Friday. :roll eyes: Isn't life too short to be so concerned about stuff you don't care about? But I guess some people just get off on needling others who don't think lik…

I see no reason why Apple couldn't reach $1 trillion in market cap by 2014. What a lot of Apple critics, pundits, and haters always seem to ignore is Apple's room for growth in the global handset and PC markets (around 9 and 6% shares, respectively)…

It's obvious that Apple can't rely on Intel as a key supplier when its representatives diss Apple's products. After courting Apple for all those years until Apple finally made the transition to Intel, is this how Intel pays Apple back? Cloning the p…

Do any of us want to look up what the likes of IDC and Gartner predicted or projected 3 or 5 years ago? We all know that it'd be laughably and woefully wrong. I'm just amazed that companies actually pay IDC and Gartner for their "analysis" of this s…

China will be Apple's growth engine for the next 5 years or more. The market potential there is mind-boggling. I've been going to China on a regular basis since '94 and it's still difficult to comprehend a nation of 1.3 billion people. To put that i…

One thing that often gets overlooked is Apple's operational excellence compared to other areas of the company's discipline like design, engineering, software development and marketing, etc. I work in the supply chain side of things in a completely d…
