Quoted: These are the kind of application that the vendor is unlikely ever to consider a core feature, usually because it’s vertical — it’s not something everyone is going to want. There is exactly zero chance that Apple is ever going to add a feature to the iPhone for dentists. Zero.

Apple had a solid quarter, but the forecast is uncertain.

Quoted:Apple, Inc. said Tuesday its fiscal fourth-quarter profit beat the street, but revenue missed expectations. The electronics and computer maker also issued an outlook that fell short of Wall Street's forecast.

Apple is down 50% in the last two months! I suppose Apple products (more so than Microsoft's or Google's) are considered discretionary spending. Apple's P/E is still considerably higher than that of Microsoft's.

Quoted: The process of making new things simple to win a market is a story that Apple understands extremely well, given their overwhelming focus on the user experience. There’s nothing really very simple or very “less is more”, about the iPhone, for example. Yet it gloriously made a bunch of clunky stuff simple and a lot of hard stuff possible.

For all you Mac cult members...

Quoted: Furthermore, beyond the OS itself, I hate the cult of personality that surrounds Steve Jobs. I like the soon-to-be-retired Bill Gates way more than Steve Jobs, because the guy cares about more than just making enough money to build a castle for himself out of stacks of $100 bills (not that Bill can't do that).

Nice.

Quoted: The unnamed victim in question was able to use remote screen sharing to capture a picture of one alleged burglar via the machine's built-in iSight camera, and copied photos on the computer that apparently were of the other alleged thief.
