Apple is Going Out of Business ... Again

gsfprez writes "Its been a while ... and strangely, the world almost seemed empty without the constant drumbeat of how Apple is on the verge of going out of business. If you're a fan like i am, then you're in luck, because this Canadian tech journalist didn't get the memo that Apple's been going out of business longer than most tech journalists have been in business. And besides, someone needs to let Robert Thomson know: when writing a story on how Apple is about to die, you have to call them "beleaguered". Come on, that's Tech Journalism 101, people. In any case, he brings up no new points to bolster his argument: he confuses his personal inability to use third-party software that works fine for most of us with legitimate bad third-party support, and uses this to draw his illogical conclusion. Illogical because it's the same reasons/unrealized conclusions that were the staple of tech journalism from 1985-1999."

But Microsoft Owns Apple...

[L0k11]

From memory anyway, a couple of years ago Microsoft bought 500 million of stock in Apple as part of the settlement for Windows being an absolute rip-off of Mac OS.

I thought at the time, and I still think now, that if Microsoft has a fairly large amount of money invested in Apple then its future cant be all that dark and gloomy...
