Apple has included USB in every Mac released since the original bondi blue iMac in 1998.

Honest answer: because blockbuster games cost so much to make they need to appeal to as wide of an audience as possible.

Sure.

Technically, Steve Jobs stated that the iPad was developed before the iPhone. They decided that the technology would lend itself to the phone and launched iPhone first.

Yes, it's Apple fault that you don't back up your data. :lmao:

"He would flip on something so fast that you would forget that he was the one taking the 180 degree polar [opposite] position the day before. I saw it daily. This is a gift, because things do change, and it takes courage to change. It takes courage to say, ‘I was wrong.’ I think he had...

Yes, those numbers are combined. Apple doesn't break down sales numbers by model so we have no way of know what percentage of iPads were the Mini. We do know that Cook said they "couldn't make the Mini fast enough", so they obviously sold very well. Margins were down across the board, so the...

The problem is that it is impossible for any company to disrupt a new market every three years, yet that is expectation placed on Apple (and only Apple). In truth, Apple is doing exactly what they have always done, even throughout the Jobs era: create a market-defining disruption, and then...

Apple shipped a total of 22.9 million iPads last quarter. In second place, Samsung shipped 8 million tablets (Android + Win8 combined). By any sane definition, that's a "clear leader".This idea of market share "falling" as a sign of trouble for Apple is silly. The thing is, the markets for smart...

This is the catch-22 the market places on AAPL. If Apple loses market share to the flood of cheaper devices, the market panics and AAPL falls. Yet if Apple launches devices at lower price points to gain market share, the market panics over "reduced margins" and AAPL falls. And god forbid Apple...

They considered her a "potential" target from the beginning; they had a squad of cops protecting her 24/7. Seeing her picture pinned up next to the one of the girl the cult killed last week was proof that she was an actual target and likely next in line to be attacked.ETA: But I agree that it...

That's what makes it perfect for a TV series. It can go on for multiple seasons unlike a Prison Break or even 24 where they have to contrive a new way to keep the premise going. Even if they kill Carroll, another charismatic killer could easily step up and take over leadership of The Following...

Whatever makes you feel good. Just correcting the statement that he "dumped" 60k shares when in fact he bought them, even if he got them on the cheap. :shrug:

Actually, Al Gore bought 60k shares last week.

The iMac refresh suffered from extreme supply chain shortages; the wait for the 21" model is up to month or more and they had to completely push back the release of the 27" to January. They are selling every one they can make, they just can't make them fast enough. This has nothing to do with...

Market manipulation by institutional money managers. I covered that earlier. :yes:

Yes, I meant Apple has been leading in US sales since the release of iPhone 5 when they finally began to compete at all price tiers (free, $99, $199+). I didn't mean overall established market share - I have never claimed Apple leads in that.

Yes, in the U.S., which is why Apple is actually leading Android here. Worldwide, where the carriers don't subsidize the cost of the handset for a contract, the 4 & 4S are not free.

Of course Android global market share is still growing; low end freebie phones pad the stats and are an area where Apple chooses to not compete. I've never argued otherwise. :shrug:

FACTS ARE FACTS.
