1. Comment - Jobs: Michael Dell Can't Predict Future

   (Jan 17, 2006 - 3:19 AM)

   IN MY Opinion, back up with alot of facts...
   
   as far as Apple goes here is the cold hard reality...
   
   the stock price is high yes, but that means nothing as far as the worth of the company..
   remember the DOT com's...? all it means is some shareholders, whom mostly a technologically retarded and know nothing about computers.. are bidding up the price..
   cause they own IPODS and think they are kewl
   
   Apples rise is simply due to the IPOD . PERIOD..
   
   1 apple has less than 3% of the entire worldwide computer market..
   
   PC's account for the other 95% or so..
   
   2-apples revenues are much more lower than dells, some 10 times lower
   
   apples revenue for '05 was around 3 billion
   and made a profit of a measly 400 million
   
   DELL's revenue was a whopping almost
   $60 BILLION with profits of almost 4.5 billion
   
   in other words.. all of apples sales and revenue did not even equal DELLS PROFIT.. lol
   
   so as usual .. Jobs.. is a dreamer, and not living in reality in many peoples opinion
   
   3 what JOBS also forgot to mention was
   BILL GATES loaned and gave APPLE 500 million in invesment money a few years ago to keep them for going under and belly up cause it was in Microsoft's interest to do so cause MS makes some 50% of all apples software ..lol
   
   APPLES hardware was so pathetic, that they now use INTEL PENTIUMS.. same as dell, and use OSX
   which is essentially NEXT OS Unix, which was essentially based on the Mach os kernal technology, which WINDOWS NT and XP is also based
   
   SO with 100% of INTELS CPU's and MS Money and IPOD Apples exist now.. that is a fact..
   
   had MS no loaned them money, and INTEL not agreed to supply them with CPU's after power PC
   cpu's went clunck
   and IPOD not come along APPLE's computer business model and its 3% would not have been enough to save the company in all likelyhood
   
   so APPLE computers are NOT really even the
   same machine at all they were when Michael Dell made the comments in 97,,
   
   in fact they are essentially and technically PC CLones now like Dells..
   osX is now compiled to run on PC CPU's specifically INTELS... so neither the computer hardware or OS or anything is relaly as APPLE was in 97,, at all..
   APPLE is really INTEL and MS INSIDE..lol
   
   and with a measly 3% of the computing market,
   and the fact that PC users almost never use macs, but many mac users switch or have to use PC's at work proves that..
   
   THe IPOD is also a fad and days are numbered..
   I am in the computer industry and get to see many emerging technologies..
   and INTEL and others are comming out with hand helds that are faster store 10 times more, and
   are NOT PROPRIATARY like the IPOD..
   
   APPLE makes the same mistakes that SONY always makes.. PROPRIATARY technology that is closed
   to the open markets,, and others like HP, Panasonic, INTEL, MS, and other great companies
   merely develop like techoloigies that are better cheaper, and openly accessable to developers and people.. and accessories are made for them by 1000's of companies...
   
   if you doubt me , then why did apple just settle a lawsuit on the IPODS horribly defective batteries on the last model that kept dying prematurly..for some 100 million !!
   
   the IPOD will die down this year,, and the Koreans and japanese, and chinese and other companies are all comming out with superior similiar technologies
   
   so that said......... what is driving APPLES
   growth IPOD will die down and they will be left with their crappy overpriced PC clones essentially that are some 50% higher priced than DELLS, do not preform as fast, and
   desperatly hang on to their measly 3% of the computer market..
   
   with DELLS and other PC makers including me building DUAL DUAL CORE INTEL systems with hyperthreading.. that is essentially 8 CPU's
   that can execute 8 threads at the same time
   thats many times faster than a dual CPU mac
   at the same price..
   
   and their INVESTORS when the IPOD craz dies down will be left with sad faces.. not unlike the apple sad face that shows when a system crash occurs and likely lost money and not much else ...
   
   and dell is meanwhile projected to do 80 billion dollars in revenue in the year or 2
