Where Will Apple Get Flash Memory Now?

Posted by timothy on from the stealing-american-jobs-by-jingo dept.

An anonymous reader writes "EE Times examines whether Samsung could be about to control the equipment output of Apple by putting the Cupertino company on a rationed supply of NAND flash as the non-volatile memory goes into short supply in 2013. The analysis argues that Apple may need to put down billions of dollars of cash to fund a guaranteed NAND flash supply plan, something that Samsung did in the middle of the last decade."

    If he can't put a complete sentence together, why would he be able to put a complete argument together?

    I honestly think that Apple and Microsoft are now having a stupid-off. They're seeing which foot-shooting, disasterous decisions each can make to see who can bankrupt the company first. everyone weigh in on who you think is winning. Is suing the people who make your screens, lease you patents, and sell you flash memory the stupidest or is an OS with a UI from hell that everyone hates followed by double downing by blaming your vendors then undercutting them and making your own devices stupider?
