What about MS not being dead...prove it. So many American companies are run by know nothings that spout unbelievably stupid things (cough, Balmer) while even Billionaires monopolists who didn't then and don't now innovate (Gates) while open computer scientists marvel at the million lines of code supporting and ugly, outdated hardware and near useless UX (pick your Win) while we're told 'you don't know nufin'? Our country has also voted in leaders who lost their minds (reagan), didn't have one (Geo Jr) or used their undeserved positions to foment division and break laws appealing to America's lowest common ignorance (Cheeto McHole) How can DED be surprised that almost none of this makes sense? Our country is divided only ONE way, the racism, sexism and yes, even Tech reporting is only separated by one factor, and that's economic position; whats good for those in power and money is the media coverage, the wall street projection, and the political "normal", whether or not the supporting data says, fiction, treason, or insider trading...truly elitist groups are the ones telling the majority have nots how they are being screwed or being taken care of, and the only difference is if 'the little guys' believe and follow or 'Think Different'. So if you have the guts to pick a minority share product that is high quality, and you can suffer without a program or two in your business, (and can afford the higher quality and attacks without facts) then you don't have to argue with the loud, rich, fat cats that may only be yelling to motivate others to buy into moving the needle in the direction of their own bets....we're losing a lot when you count how we're viewed by the outside...Apple may be one of the few brands where worldwide America is getting that 60's vibe where our culture is worth following...and Steve's birthday is a good time be reminded of this...
