Apple (neé Intrinsity) designs, Samsung manufactures:
Despite charges and litigation that the tablet division of the Korean company "slavishly copies" Apple's designs and patents, thus far the chip manufacturing side of Samsung has proven to be a good fit for the iPad maker, to the point where Apple is expanding a Texas-based facility used in conjunction with a Samsung factory in Austin, said to be where the next generation of A-series chips will be built.
Have you even looked at their lineup? At its most minimal (~'97) there were consumer and pro desktops and a laptop. Now there are all sorts of products and choices. They are farther from one size than they have ever been.
soo... I'm guessing you just read the headline and skipped the: "*Update - 3/9/12: We became aware of an error in calculation for our GLBenchmark Egypt Offscreen results here and have since updated the chart above. As you can see, the iPad 2 boasts a significant performance advantage in this test versus the Tegra 3-powered Transformer Prime."
Back in the real world; the place many here I'm sure must forget exists or something, Microsoft Claims that Office 2010 is selling better than any other MS Office suite before
FTFY
From the link:
The company has also declared Office 2010 the fastest-selling version of Office ever, though it didn't offer specific numbers to back that claim up.
The only reason they are doing alright financially is because they have gigantic margins, facilitated by having low manufacturing costs. Note that they were barely alive when Tim Cook moved the manufacturing overseas.
I would be interested to see an example where a company kept their manufacturing in the US and wasn't undercut by a competitor moving their manufacturing elsewhere. And if that company isn't a tech company why there isn't germane difference between the industries.

... or they argue that the ruling was rediculous without dropping the lawsuit or agreeing that *Samsung* is cool.
...just what we need, another clunky portmanteau.

Sounds like lots of room in that market to undercut the opposition.
After banning the word 'jailbreak' from its app store and music library, Apple [Friday] reversed course and again permits the term
This is a very real and transparent attempt to limit the freedoms of their users which conflict with their own financial interests.
what?
leave off the first phrase of the summary and it's accuracy and quality increase dramatically.
you know he doesn't work at Apple anymore, right?
They can't even break the top 3!

huh, in my similarly long experience, all the anecdotal evidence points the opposite way. Whodathunk?

How did you come to that conclusion?

You know Cook's parachute doesn't deploy for 10 years, right? It half deploys in 5 years.

it takes 30 seconds for your MBP to wake up!? How much RAM do you have in that thing / how slow is your HD / what?
very much this
Right... because what really matters is the total number of crashes reported, not the crashes per application launch.
or you could us accurate numbers:

It's actually not that bad on OS X; I have heard it is pretty terrible on Windows.
