the dot.com boom was paying top dollar for talent in a variety of interesting projects?
Partly because most of those projects weren't really interesting. They were business ideas, online. If you show it that way, then give the engineers something actually interesting to work on, most engineers will take the interesting route over the 'online' route.
Most of Apple's competitors, in all areas, seem to think that form follows function and just put in features. Apple believes that form AND function work together and make the functions their products have easier to use. And customers actually value this and are willing to pay a small premium for ease of use over functions.
Maybe you could share how with all of Apple's competitors. They seem to need help.
BTW, it's $85 Billion in cash & short term cash equivalents. Which is larger than the market cap of something like 80% of the companies in the S&P 500.
And, unsurprisingly, the $0 iPhones are starting to supplant the $0 Android phones: AT&T Mobility CEO: "we're getting more new subscribers coming on the 3GSthan other deviceswe [are also] sold out on that device"
Can you please copy/paste this to every reply of my original comment? Because it seems like there's a lot of people who just don't get it. Or out much.
Slashdot Mirror
Ahh, still missing the point. For the blind: Market share != winning. You can't run a business, or pay bills, on market share.
Hmmm, pretty sure it's obvious that you completely miss the point. MSFT is not the point.
Here's an exercise for you, to help you get back on track. Find any company that Apple is actually losing to.
It's not just tech companies, it's most large companies.
You're going to have to define "Apple is losing". Market share? Maybe. Profit share? No fucking way.

Or this, which shows that the iPhone has MORE REVENUE THAN ANY LINE OF BUSINESS AT MICROSOFT.

Or this, which shows that the iPhone is ABOUT AS PROFITABLE AS ALL OF MICROSOFT.

How do you like them apples?

Natural implies repetition.
Yeah, not buying that, so not reading the rest of your thought.
Ummm, I'm going to have to go with "not yet".
$60/hr plus extraordinary benefits for unskilled labor is not a decent wage. Or in the same hemisphere as minimum wage.
I don't have any jealous hostility, just a bit of shock at their greed.
Come back in 6 months. The $0 iPhone has been available for a week.
The CEO of AT&T mobile says they're getting more $0 iPhones than any other device:

"And actually, we're getting more new subscribers coming on the 3GS on the average than other devices."
Your sig works well.
it's not uncommon for unskilled factory workers to make 25 USD per hour
Don't ever look at pay rates for unionized workers.
The most uninteresting man in the world?
If they were, they wouldn't sell so well.
Cheaper price doesn't always mean better price.

overpriced Apple smart-phones, tablets and MP3 players
I think the other phone, tablet & MP3 manufacturers would disagree with this. They don't seem to be able to compete on price without a subsidy.
if someone built a feature for feature, damn near exact clone of the iphone and started selling it for $50 .. you'd see apple losing some business.
Good thing that's Apple's exact business model. Disrupt itself.
Apple phones now have prices from $0 to $850:

Perhaps you need some subluxations to help you with that.
Yeah, you're about the only one. Ever.

But you're right, you've never experienced it, so it NEVER happens.
But not matching sequential versions. i.e. F=2, G=3, H=4
It'll be like going to the Jersey shore!
In Pennsylvania.
And now they're back buying up all 4 million of them this weekend. We're in trouble!
Pretty sure that wasn't Def Leppard - they were quoting someone else. Try a decade earlier.

You totally missed the clue. Boomerang scratch? Going under the I-37 bridge as the crossing arm lowers. We know EXACTLY where they are!
