Yeah, that article is fluff. It discusses the companies on technical trading basis - hocus pocus - rather than focusing on fundamentals. It's also comparing Apple to Microsoft on a very loose basis - just claiming they are "stuck" but not really digging into details. Microsoft long ago lost their explosive marketing power. They make people yawn, not excited. Apple talks about something and people jump.

I saw an article this morning that is similarly bearish on Apple, also for the wrong reasons. They talk about worries of Apple's revenues not climbing, which I think is absurd. Sure, they might fall short of expectations, but they won't contract any time soon. The article should have focused on profits contracting, which is their much greater risk.

The number one thing Apple could do to counter many of these concerns is to expedite the launch of *something* new, right now. I think consumers are getting tired of the recycled rumors they are "working on something big" and being told it will be "coming later this year". They need to take some risks and push something out the door yesterday.
