  • No, Apple isn't making a paired wedding ring set to spy on a spouse

    Thank you, Apple Insider, for posting this article. As hard as it is to believe, this sort of debunking is absolutely necessary. 
    There are FAR too many people who believe anything they read - unless it’s from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about.

    I agree with the sentiments. 

    Apple has no competition. Microsoft makes some of the world’s worst software and hardware. 

    Honestly, Apple should be at $500 per share and Microsoft should be out of business.
    What does Microsoft have anything at all to do with Apple’s quarterly earnings? Apple and Microsoft have both moved far beyond the Mac vs PC television commercial era. Both companies are doing exceptionally well for their shareholders. They are the top two most valuable companies in the world. Why on earth should a company that is nipping on Apple’s heels, and sometimes surpassing them, be out of business? That’s honestly a ridiculous and nonsensical statement. Take a peek at Microsoft’s latest blowout quarterly earnings. Despite the claims of Windows being on death’s doorstep, its OEM  licensing revenue was up 25%. 

    Zero sum game thinking no longer applies to Apple vs Microsoft. In fact it hasn’t applied since long before Ballmer's departure, despite Ballmer trying to keep that torch burning long beyond it having fuel to sustain the illusion. Fortunately for Microsoft’s current stakeholders, Satya Nadella harbors no such silliness and has moved Microsoft in a direction that allows Microsoft to control its own destiny, just like Steve Jobs and Tim Cook have done for Apple. 

    Apple and Microsoft have moved on. So should we.
    I understand why you misinterpreted my comment.

    It wasn’t a zero-sum comment, it was a comparative comment.

    Microsoft offers low-quality software, hardware, and services that require one-thousandth the innovation and genius of the humanity-changing products Apple makes. 

    Yet Microsoft is - somehow - put in the same league as Apple. It should be viewed as the third-tier producer of mass-consumption commodity goods and services it is.

    That was the meaning of the comment - AAPL should be at $500, MSFT should be, well, nowhere.

    I understand why you misunderstood my comment.

    It wasn't a zero-sum comment, it was a comparative comment.

    Microsoft makes third-rate software, hardware, and commodity services like Azure-hosting-etc. Oh, and gaming. Wow.

    Apple make humanity-changing everything. Again and again.

    Yet somehow Microsoft is put in the same league as Apple. It shouldn't be. 

    Apple has no competition. Microsoft certainly isn't competition for Apple.

    That's why AAPL should be at $500 per share and MSFT should be, well, nowhere.
