BUT now Apple's (inflated) market cap is: $86.05 Billion with total revenue of $30.8 Billion and profit of $8.15 Billion and Microsoft's market cap is: $194.96 Billion with total revenue of $60.42 Billion and profit of $48.82 Billion. That's more than twice the market cap, twice the revenue and 7 1/2 TIMES the profit.<BR/>Wow!

Apple has been a JUNK stock for over 20 years! When all of Apple's hype goes away, Apple will be where they were in 2005, when it was trading at or below $20 a share.

Most people who lead are pompous by nature. Walt didn't invent animation, though he came close to perfecting the art. Same with the amusement park. <BR/><BR/>Walt knew how to surround himself with top talent and then make them work to his liking. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Bob Iger, the President of the United States they are all the same and bring in the best. At Apple, Jobs does not let any product even get far into development that he has not approved first. Remember Walt was the same way!<BR/><BR/>True that Jobs did not invent the ipod, nor the personal computer, but he recognizes trends and smart design and then capitalizes on those markets. Just like Walt. Let's face it, Steve Jobs has a proven track record of hit products for almost 30 years. What's your track record like?<BR/><BR/>-JustinUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193538646811720856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-57985874323692622632008-10-22T06:52:00.000-07:002008-10-22T06:52:00.000-07:00Well, I don't own a single Apple product, and I do...Well, I don't own a single Apple product, and I don't suspect I will any time soon. I'm happy with my MP3 player, and I still buy CDs. That's not to say that they don't make a nice product. Trendy is more likely though. However, I can't bring myself to actually like Jobs. He seems so pompous to me. That and he needs some new wardrobe items. Are we really sure that with that wardrobe, the man has one once of creativity in him? I'm not. But I'm willing to be that there are some people around him who do. However, I haven't really seen anything drastically new, or revolutionary come out of Apple in a long time now. If you ask me, that ship has now sailed. Sales will begin decline shortly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-82172604005195954592008-10-22T06:50:00.000-07:002008-10-22T06:50:00.000-07:00Anonymous...I don't brainwash anyone on anything. ...Anonymous...<BR/><BR/>I don't brainwash anyone on anything. If you've read the blog over the past year and a half you'll notice there are quite a few stories related to Apple and Jobs and I've explained too many times the relevance of their discussion. As for your dislike of Apple products, we'll have to agree to disagree on that.Honor Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346050126873050983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-5032714221605765632008-10-22T02:20:00.000-07:002008-10-22T02:20:00.000-07:00Apple products are so overrated.

Jobs said during the press release that his customers are the "smartest, more product-aware customers in the market" when in reality they're the dumbest. Apple products are not worth buying. Ipods, for example, have the worst audio quality of any PMP but people still buy them just because they're flashy eventhough they suck. People are dumb in buying them. I for one would not be supportive of Jobs taking a major role in the Disney company. Everything would be expensive yet built on the cheap. Instead of paying $60 for admission to a park we would have to pay 3x as much for a flashy experience yet we wouldn't get quality products. Honor, why are you trying to brainwash us with this Apple nonsense. Just because you're a fan of Apple products doesn't mean you have to push it on your visitors to your blogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-13878197765390816842008-10-22T00:48:00.000-07:002008-10-22T00:48:00.000-07:00Steve jobs gets too much credit.
