Eric, Eric, what a fool you are. When things looked bleak Jobs did some of the right things. Not all mind you, but enough to get Apple into a better cash flow position, and heap all the losses into the past. What is left now is a smaller leaner Company that makes a profit but is still in decline. Still a substantial company and now profitable. Had Jobs or another not changed the Apple path those comments from December might be truer. Do not forget they were reactionary posts to attacks, are you going to start them again?
You seem to have a fools viewpoint, describe things in glowing terms and it will all come true.
Well look again. Apple is now a niche player. never again to be the biggest personal computer company in the world. But it can be a profitable company and go forward.
The choices to make Apple grow as fast as the Wintels have not yet been made. I expect they will never be made and the share will keep slipping, even as Apple grows(because the market grows faster). A direct mode will help profits, paring the dist chain will do it as well. Expecting lower margins also helps, and eliminating some dead wood too.
Its up to you to control your fits of rage, they are not effective.
