This isn't intended as flamebait but Apple is simply irrelevant. Since 1984 Apple has approximately halved in real capitalisation (accounting for inflation) and gone from 20% market share to perhaps <3%. The Mac may have been innovative but it has been a commercial failure since it's inception. Apple earns less from its operations than it would by simply selling its assets and earning interest.

That has to be the most pathetic piece of garbage ever written on this forum.

Want to see a terrible invesment, just take AMD, over its whole existance, it has only made $150million in profit, thats the losses and profits taken into account; a pretty patehtic investment if you ask me, and yet, we have people like you who would praise the company to the hill!

They make a profit each quarter, they're now leveraging their iPod brand to push Apple iBooks, Powerbooks and desktop systems. The fact remains, contra to the bullshit spread by so-called armchair CEO's whose claim to fame is being a geek with zero interpersonal skills.

Let us remember one small little fact, Apple was up shit creek when Steve arrived, Steve was the one who turned it around, put the anti-Microsoft bullshit aside and realised that Apple is a BUSINESS and NOT a religion, movement, cult or guidance organisation to findings one zen in the universe.

So in comparision, AMD is has bee a complete commercial failure when compared to Apple who only went through a small rough patch, they're back, they're now dominating the portable player market, dominating the music downloads market, and just you watch, they'll come back.

Sure, they won't have the johnny, No Frills/Homebrand purchasing cheapskates such as yourself purchasing their hardware, but they will have the David Jones buying, $249 business shirt wearing crowd buying them, along with all the gizmos and other features.
