what you are witnessing is what i call the millionaire bubble - too many people at apple are too rich and out of touch with reality and the "common" people. it happens in many industries, american car companies, software companies, and governments... when you get surrounded by yes men, or surround yourself with people who think exactly the same way then you can't see anything other then what "you" think is best and a good thing. personally i think apple really screwed up (yet again) you would think they would have learned with the cube, among other product failures like the 20th anniversary mac - but when your not limited by budget (stock options worth millions) and use your $10,000 computer for checking email, web surfing, facebook and tweeting - this is what you get. what makes me nuts too is my three kids all want a laptop - the cheapest apple one is really $1200, when you can go to walmart or office store and there is a row of 15" laptops for $400-$500 - sure it's Windows and the issues associated with it, but it's plenty of performance for what kids need/want for writing papers, web surfing and checking email, even watching DVD/netflix etc... anybody under 30 doesn't even remember when Sony was the master of consumer electronics in the 1980's and where are they now? give it another 10 years and we will probably be seeing apple the same way. sad. ___________________________________________________________________ Dann Stubbs - dann@darkskydigital.com Dark Sky Digital - http://www.darkskydigital.com http://www.RenderKing.com Value Priced C4D, VRAY Render Farm ___________________________________________________________________ On Dec 20, 2013, at 1:31 PM, Teddy Gage wrote:
