Well....at least he stuck to his guns until the bitter end....giving a guidance number $70 below the current price (Jan 24th) up until he got the boot. He must have shorted a crapload of AAPL way back when and kept waiting to cover his position, but never could.

I’m just stupefied by those who see Apple as the bad actor here. This take is all over the tech blogs. On MacRumors the comments are like 10-to-1 against Apple as abusing its power and how it shouldn’t be able to do this to a company and they hope everybody dumps their Apple products to teach Apple a lesson. 

Not sure what thread you’re referring to on MR, but the one I’ve seen is running about 10 to 1 against Facebook.

As the CTO for a large government laboratory for many years, I’ve read many Gartner reports over the years and also took part in a Gartner data gathering exercise when they were surveying our industry segment. I couldn’t believe what I read when the survey was published. They screwed up nearly every datapoint we worked hard to give them. I have no idea why people believe anything they publish or how they remain in business.
