What's Next At Apple

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the besides-raking-in-money-hand-over-fist dept.

pinqkandi writes "Business 2.0 is running a fascinating article on what might be coming up in Apple's future. Besides speculation, some interesting statistics are included, such as how the iPod should create equal revenue to the Mac for Apple in 2006, if not surpassing it. A good read for the Apple lover or loather."

    .. even have to point out that this is a dupe?

    in theory you'd think that the browsers the editors use would mark this url as visited (ie dark green or whatever it is), and they'd notice this

    to alter the ./ code for posting an article, that could do a quick scan of the past 3 weeks' urls in the database, and flag dupes before they arrive?

    There was an article about this mentioned earlier on slashdot.

    So this is worse than yesterday's news. What new insights should this discussion bring according to CmdrTaco?

    Lawsuits, lots of lawsuits. Preferably targetting college kids who don't have enough money to defend themselves ... heck, it worked for the RIAA ;-)

    Apple is synonomous with hype. Steve Jobs farts and people start drooling over the prospect of brown ipods. Gotta have, must have. I'm elite now.
    I even get horny about the speculation.

    yep, the anti-Apple crowd has learnt from the neocons on how to frame a response. If you keep on saying that Slashdot has been "hijacked" by Apple zealots then everyone from neutral to pro-Apple have to defend their point of view.

    Of course, being anti-Apple, really means you're anti-UNIX, which just doesn't make sense on /. So if we want these OS bigots off our website we need to frame their responses as being anti-UNIX. Then we'll win :)
