    How Apple considers a Mac that can only have 16GB of RAM a "pro" computer is beyond me.

    Thats the limit on 4th generation chipset for the MBP, so would not be able to upgrade ram if you wanted to.

    I am a pro user since 2000 and i believe Apple's story became unbelievably self centered, egostistical, no longer "havin a dream" to create greatest products but continuing the milking process of people who wants to show off. Well, i can not believe that i say this (even to my self) but with this non-professional attitude, i am out of Apple's citizenship. 
    What is this?
    Compare Dell or HP to a Mac Pro? I mean is this a joke?
    Compare Alienware to Mac Book Pro?

    I am missing the days we had Final Cut and FC Library, Shake.. even QT Pro, even Pages 9.
    Now we have bunch of non sense crApple. They are supposedly updated but for any pro user they were seriously downgraded.
    And the sad part is Adobe CS not great either for Professional updates.
    What, microsoft? God no. Google? Nope, definitely not.
    God help us. 

    And we pros loved Apple, we made Apple what it is.
    Now, Apple lost us! 
    Misdirected anger much?
    First, del and Hp are not any faster then the mac pro at all.
    The race for speed ended in 2012, when cpuS could no longer get any faster, and only chipset upgrades were remaining.

    And why are you compering a gaming laptop to a desktop replacement?

  • Mossberg: Steve Jobs continued work on Apple television set after resignation

    Almost 5 years since Jobs passing and all we have gotten is a watch that has gotten  lukewarm reception.

    Nothing really else seems to be coming out.

    Yeah, a car I guess and I am real skeptical about that. Just WAY out of Apple's wheel house.


    Wasn't a phone out of apple's wheel house back in the day? They were an MP3 and computer company, after all.

  • Sources: iPhone 6 series 'touch disease' now accounting for about 11% of Apple Store repairs

    Heads need to roll for this.

    Making the phone thin and weak to make it nice was stupid.

    Tim Cook is not free from blame. Ultimately he's the top guy and needs to take the fall for this. I'm not saying he should be fired but he needs to get the blame.

    Apple desperately needs a shake up at the top. I'm sorry but most of the top level guys seem lazy and comfortable.

    I would fire Tim Cook personally, I know that isn't a popular opinion.  


    Lern to read. The problem isn't because the device was big and thin, it was because of the touch controllers, since only some iphone units have this problem. Some even came with the problem out of the box.

  • Apple preparing $7 billion U.S. bond sale to support stock buyback program

    therunningvmtherunningvm
    Apple is spending so much money on buybacks it's unreal. I guess it's a good thing but I think of how they could have spent more money on buying some other businesses to increase revenue. Wall Street positively loves Amazon for its business expansion. They keep buying up other businesses and the company keeps growing and growing. If Bezos keeps this up, they'll definitely pass Apple in market cap in a few more years. Amazon stock just keeps soaring without limits while Apple struggles and can't seem to shake the doom and gloom of being a dying company.

    Amazon has a P/E of over 300 and Apple can't even manage a P/E of 15 due to lack of investor confidence. It's just crazy. Amazon investors love Bezos and Apple investors hate Tim Cook. Amazon is always being praised while Apple is constantly criticized as being poorly run. Amazon is run perfectly for investors while it seems Apple doesn't have a clue what investors want. Even the buybacks aren't good enough for Apple investors. I really don't understand Apple's at all. They seem to keep doing what no one wants them to do.

    Nope, its the other way around. Apple investors are retarded. Well, wall street as a hole is retarded. Those guys only care about how many iPhones apple has sold. You think apple buying a bunch of companies is going to change anything? Think again.

    Apple has always been "doomed" and their eyes. No matter what apple does, they’re always "doomed".

    And those Wall Street morons keep believing those so-called, analysts. Apple doesn't do what investors want because it isn't good for them in the long term. I think those people are bitter that apple didn't do what they wanted, and still turned out successful.
