    I already know the future. Fail, of the epic kind.

    I agree. Too little, too late. It'll take years for them to turn things around, and they just don't have the time.

    Don't get ahead of yourselves.

    Let's not forget that Apple came back from a far worse shape than this in the late 90s. It is way too early to say that "they just don't have time".

    They better put a move on it, pronto, would be a much more accurate statement.
