    So yeah, there will be plenty of food in the Yukon - which is great for the 34,000 people who live there, the question is what do you do with the populations that grew up around what used to be fertile plains and that will likely become expanding deserts?

    Let them move or die? Why do you have to DO anything with those populations?

    And you should get a better understanding of hardware profits vs software profits. Because you don't really seem clued in at all on this.

    And look at the last quarter for MSFT (16.1B) vs AAPL (15.7B) in revenue. That's about the same in my book. And AAPL will be above MSFT next quarter.

    Also try looking at growth patterns. MSFT flat, AAPL up. Pick any time frame in the last 10 yrs or so.

    You go stick with MSFT. I'll take actual price increases with AAPL.

    Microsoft is a software company, therefore they have 90% profit on sales.
    Apple is a hardware company, therefore they have 40% profit on sales.

    That's why, in spite of their revenues being about the same, MSFT makes more profit.

    However, AAPL's revenue is going up at a MUCH greater rate that MSFT. AAPL will pass MSFT in revenue this next quarter, and probably pass them in profits in the next year.

    Riiiight. Then why do ALL of their manuals tell you NOT to hold it certain ways which decrease signal strength?

    If Apple put the 'death grip' in their manual, would everyone be ok with that?

    So you hate the walled garden in principle, but love it in practice? Seems reasonable.

    However, (others) making fun of the iSheeple don't get this - most people don't care about the principles out in the real world. They just care about the practice part, which is why Apple sells so many iPods/iPads/iPhones.

    Then, I'd say the software sucks not the iPad. Because viewing high resolution pictures, zooming in & out, etc on the iPad has got to be about the easiest thing there is. My 5 yr old can demo it, for fscks sake!

    What software exactly did you look at? So I can avoid it.

    If the iPad gets the same cameras the iPhone4 just got, plus FaceTime, it would be as good as this tablet at a minimum. Add in the AppStore (or the SDK), and you're golden.

    I laughed when I saw this Cisco concept, especially the timeframe - Early to Mid 2011.

    All Apple has to do is put the cameras from the iPhone 4 into the iPad, and put FaceTime on it, and the iPad will lock the consumer/low end business market.

    Frankly, I think it's game over for Cisco on this concept - outside of the very large enterprise market.
