Minor correction. I didn't say that Apple invented USB. Intel invented USB. Apple was the first to force the use of it by making it the only means of low data rate input to the first iMacs.

Apple fails in very profitable ways.

True failure is seen in the wannabe tablet ventures strewn about this board.

>>Apple has done some pretty cool stuff. But you don't have to be conspiracy minded to look at how this company does business and dislike its business practices, and to know that this model is bound to fail in that its present market cap will come crashing down as it moves to being a niche player. Its quite predictable.<<

It's predictable only in that one can make that prediction if one wishes. But the prediction is wrong, as you will see over the next year or two.
