What About Big Blue ?
How about IBM ?
Profit comes from software
There’s simply not enough profit in hardware, which accounts for most of the company’s revenue. Look at IBM and Apple vs. HP and Dell (DELL). (Apple customers buy hardware products, but they’re really paying for software innovation.) Since 2000, HP has spent more than $20 billion to buy more than 30 software companies, yet it has been unable to create a viable software business. For the first nine months of this fiscal year, software revenue was $2.9 billion. Ouch. Many of the companies HP purchased either were abandoned or never lived up to their promise. Bluestone, which HP bought in 2001 for $470 million, was folded and its assets sold to Oracle a few years later. In the third quarter, software was one of the rare growing and profitable areas for the company, but it contributed only 3 percent of revenue.

Nokia crumbled within two years. Its partnership with Microsoft (and Stephen Elop being appointed as CEO) sped up its demise.
It's so bad now that Nokia has to sell of its HQ building in Finland, to get some cash. Desperate times.

From what I've read the biggest problem at HP is with their board. So until the board is replaced I doubt that things will improve at HP.
Apple's future depends on its ability to maintain its lead in innovation and sell products at a premium and leave selling cheap, mass market products to the Asians. To continue to maintain this edge in innovation they would probably need to take a leaf from Cisco by buying into leading edge technology as in this age of rapid technological advancement, it is not possible for in house R&D teams to come out with all the good solutions.
Apple has no future with Steve Jobs dead.
Not unless it can find another charismatic cult-leader who has excellent brainwashing skills to make you feel exclusive owning a overpriced premium product with underwhelming features that everyone owns.

nowadays, there is no need for such a charismatic cult leader because most people can manage to feel exclusive owning an overpriced premium product on their own, they don't need brainwashing or convincing.
Well said boss!

I'm a long time Mac user & not really interested in the development of IOS or where the current Macs are heading:o However as a shareholder I'm happy with where the price of AAPL shares is going
Ever since the success of the bondi blue iMac I've realised that for Apple to succeed & thrive it has to appeal to the masses. It just isn't enough for the Macs to appeal to the techies.
I remember having a hard time talking to ignorant newbies trying to explain that the colorful iMacs ran the Mac OS & NOT windows
I used Mac in the 90s, could not quite understand the appeal as PC world got more choices and cheaper. Then finally in 2009 I bought iPad 1, was ok with the bigger touch screen as I can surf net while lying on bed. Until the day I tried to transfer a few big media files from my laptop to iPad via Bluetooth, then I was stuck because Mac Bluetooth cannot work with anything else. Then I transferred the files to my android phone via Bluetooth, thinking that my android can then Bluetooth over to iPad. Failed.
Some time later, my friend tried to Bluetooth me a file from his MacBook to my laptop and S2, again failed. Fed up with the poor connectivity of apple products, as clearly my windows and android can communicate perfectly. Fom that moment onwards, I figured that it will be a really scary world if apple is to dominate the digital landscape, from the way the company subtly controls the users to use only their full range of products.

Apple is like pee-a-pee. They want to dictate the way you do things and pay highly for it.
I worked as an Apple professional app support engineer before and I can tell you it's just the fucking dictator Steve Jobs running the whole show puppeteering the entire Apple organization.
I don't admire Steve jobs for the way he conducted business. He thought nothing about copying others, but when others imitated his products, his bully attitude was in full swing.
Compare Jobs with Bill Gates. At least Gates has the fortitude to quit at the peak, and commit his wealth and time to charity work. It is god's mysterious way that one died prematurely while the other is still healthy.

If Steve Jobs adopt this bullying attitude in other countries like Taiwan or Thailand, he'd been dead long time ago.
Oops !
Missed your post. I see.
I heard Nokia was bad too. An older colleague of mine was working there once ... a few years back. That was the time when he saw his previous schoolmate and NS mate working his butt out for the ah nehs 'department'.
Politics was TERRIBLE there. Ah nehs were the bastards trying to act tough with their UN colleagues. It had a VERY poor working culture. He left the fuck up Nokia not long after that. I was appalled after hearing his story.
I felt that Nokia at Alexandra Road must be a shit place to work then. However, I heard it did pay its employees well like any other MNCs.
This is probably another reason why I hated Nokia.:*:

Fucking krafty aka hotbot. Now we know how fucking ignorant you are.
IBM never owned IBM tower. The had naming rights to the place when they were the anchor tenant. They have since moved to IBM Place in Changi Business Park and also maintain an office at Parkview Square.
No wonder you're driving a taxi. Stop blaming Ho Kum Hean. :oIo:
