    Why didn't you do a cash analysis for the runt Apple? The runt Apple will finish this quarter with $27 billion in cash on its balance sheet and no debt. None of the other enterprises you mentioned--including Microsoft--come close.

    That cash represents about $30/share. Your P/E value trigger of 7 implies a share price of $39. Do you think AAPL would be a buy at a net-of-cash share price of $9? Yeah, I do too. Sheesh...

    It's also good to see that the runt Apple's management--unlike that of the other players you mentioned--hasn't been burning up its cash in a futile and stupid effort to prop up its share price, don't you think?

    By the way, the runt Apple is "international&qu... too. In fact, it's worldwide.

  • Apple and Macworld: The End of an Era or Two
    @carey_jim: "Apple and Linux correspond to Packard and the Cord of the 1930s, and like them, are destined to disappear unless Microsoft is broken up by the FTC"

    And how does that assertion jibe with Microsoft's continuing loss of OS market share, browser market share, and mobile market share?

    It's hard keeping up, isn't it? It's almost 2009, Jim, not 1995...

    So, you're saying that Apple has just one smart person but Microsoft has many? Interesting...

    > LOL! Cracking empire? Going from 90 to 89.... ouch... what a disaster!

    Yeah, LOL, Bozo. That same process has taken Internet Explorer's market share down from a high of 95% to its current 78%.

    One point at a time...

  • Latest Apple Rumor: DRM-Free Music Headed from Sony BMG to iTunes
    And the longer the labels delay in supplying DRM-free tracks to the iTunes Store, the deeper they dig their own graves: While the iTS continues--by a huge margin--to be the biggest supplier of legal downloadable music, it's only being allowed to sell Fairplay-DRM'd tracks which can only be played on Apple devices!

    Stupid move, music labels.

    Those pesky unintended consequences will get you every time...

  • Bloggers Far More Accurate on Apple Than Analysts
    @mack520: Thanks for the smile.

    You probably should have posted with [ sarcasm ] mark-up for those who don't know the background story...

  • Apple Analysis: When Leaders Don't Lead
    " [ The Bears ] got all the weapons on their side and they’re playing on their home turf. The only thing that the Bulls can hope for is the occasional good piece of news, that can spark a violent mini rally. But like all the rallies before, it will fail."

    Isn't this an exciting turn of events, Zach? Let's game this market all the way down to ZERO! Go, Bears!

  • Steve Jobs' Fake Heart Attack, Courtesy of CNN
    "The stock would not have dropped so much if there wasn’t already a deep level of concern for Steve Jobs’ health and if the market knew who might take over in case of an emergency"

    Are you really that stupid, Erick?

  • Record Companies Starting to Shun iTunes
    Since the arrival of the iTunes Store I have spent about $1,000 on music there. Had it not been for the iTS, my music spending over the same period would have been $0. No kidding.

    My experience, I'm sure, is not unique.

    If the music industry wants it to be the way it was, it deserves to die.

  • Steve Jobs' Health: A Red Herring
    @lostinvancouver: "i think investors want to simply know that a succession plan of some sort is in place - and the company has not indicated that any such plan exists..."

    You mean, other than having one of the best management teams in the world? There's your "succession plan" right there...

  • Can Apple Save Tech? (Earnings Come Monday)
    @Singh: Those that don't want to have to buy a new PC every 18 months? People that are fed up with Windows? Folks that finally realize there is a real alternative? People that work at home and thus don't have to commute?

    Could be lots of new customers there for Apple, Singh...

  • Is Apple TV a Viable Replacement?
    We just started to use our Apple TV for HD movie rentals. I wish we done this sooner--the quality (both 5.1 audio and HD video) is excellent and the convenience and 'instant gratification' can't be beat. The best part is that, for us, movie rentals are the icing on the cake--we already got a lot of use out of Apple TV for podcasts (including HD!), slideshows, and YouTube.

  • Not Buying It: Sanford Analyst Toni Sacconaghi's iPhone Hit Job
    @ Sleeper Service:

    "The iPhone is a very good phone but there are other very good phones out there and due for release"

    They will not be comparable to the iPhone. You will not see a competitive device with the integration, accessibility, or platform basis of the iPhone.

    "Perhaps it's because I'm European but we tend to be a little fussier over our devices"

    That's good! Once you folks get a good look at the iPhone, reality will set in and you'll understand and appreciate its charms.
