What's Next At Apple

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."

    i'm just trying to post before they pull the story back, so that i can score the elusive dissapearing post!

    also, i was recently wondering if my chances to get a sucessful submission would be greater if i started submitting dupes.
    anyone who managed to post a dupe have any stats of dupes/original stories accepted?

    heh... but there are always people who missed the first one. And moderators too, which makes it a good opportunity to copy-and-paste some +5 Funny posts from the previous article. Instant karma boost!

    What Slashdot editors need is negative feedback. There's no consequences for repeating themselves. If after every dupe, everyone immediately re-re-submitted the story, they'd have an incentive to look back over the last few days before posting.

    ? oh really , well excuse me for not seeing the difrence betweem "slavering fanboi" and "fucking prick" these are just words and used in a way as to hurt someone else or bring them down .Your a poor troll but require an awnser .
    A word is just a word ,its the context in which you use it that is the offensive thing , Swearing is far less childish than insulting someone for no good reason as you just did .

    Note that at 8:34AM, noticing this is a dupe without providing the link to the original story is +4 Funny.

    At 8:35AM and 8:36AM (linkage or not), you're just -1 Redundant like me. It's too bad it only goes down to -1. I'm sure this will be modded down, and it would be nice to add some trolly and Off-topic.

    I won't bother. Of course I'm sure that you could not see the first "Dupe" comment when you started posting yours - I couldn't, in fact I was surprised that it had gone unnoticed for so long. It seems the highly trained mod chimps ARE better at identifying dupes - and wicked fast too!

    Can you be mildly indifferent? Half-assed curious?

    I get my Unix needs met by FreeBSD and for GUI use I get my needs met by XP Pro.

    I guess I'd be interested in using a Mac more, maybe, but I don't feel that anything is really missing in my current world, and a fast enough box to handle OS X in a manner I'd consider worthwhile is outside what I'm willing to personally pay.

    The two Macs I have (G4 at work, G3 w/1Ghz upgrade CPU) are just too slow on OS X to do anything worthwhile. Disk I/O is especially painful.
