I see no indication that Google is a threat to Apple. It’s way too early to judge whether Android will significantly impact iPhone sales. If anything, I’d bet that Android steals market share from the other smart phones.

Likewise, it’s too early to project how forthcoming Chrome OS devices will fare against whatever Apple has up its sleeve.

“Apple will eventually cave in on itself, like all companies that are based on lies, filth, and the ass tonguing of the American media.”

Ah but Brett, the hegemonic mass that is Microsoft has far more resources and influence than Apple could ever dream of. Apple will fall first as not microsoft, but companies like Google start to make them irrelevant. Microsoft may take some hits, but they have too many irons in too many fires to fall completely by the wayside.

“Have you ever seen Windows 1.x? Not even close to the Mac UI! ”

Windows 1.0 was not allowed to look like the Mac until Microsoft eventually found leverage (it may have been threat of not renewing the license to AppleSoft Basic in the Apple II’s ROM) to force Apple to cross-license certain aspects of the Mac UI. Apple had zero access to Xerox code while Microsoft (as a Mac developer) had access to Apple’s APIs. Windows wound up looking a whole lot like the Mac (a hell of a lot more than the Mac resembled a Xerox Star). It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to deduce who copied whom. If you have a reliable source contradicting this conclusion, please post it. Apple never claimed to invent the GUI. They only perfected the first commercially successful GUI– one that is still being copied to this day.

Maybe so, but this will be one of the few areas in which Microsoft will be leading the way.

I can not begin to thank you for bringing some sense of reason here. Clearly, the Apple juggernaut must be stopped and hopefully people will start understanding that ITS JUST A FUCKING COMPUTER. Not a goddamn fashion accessory. One thing that always got me going was the comparison that “Apple is like a BMW and a PC is like a Chevy”. Where the fuck, and who the fuck, thought up that hot stream of diarrhea. Apple quality sucks shit. The only thing they do have going is a nice OS, but they wont allow you to ‘legally’ install it because if they actually gave people a choice, they’d be fucked.

Apple will eventually cave in on itself, like all companies that are based on lies, filth, and the ass tonguing of the American media. Until then, I implore all reading this post to stop by your local Apple Store, and set every browser’s homepage to apple.cansuckmyballs.com!! I actually did that once, and sat outside drinking a coffee (not from Starbucks either, that foul rank tasting liquid manure hawkers that they are) while I laughed my ass off.

Now that’s funny. Almost as funny as seeing Verizon’s new Droid cut into iPhone sales and it hasn’t even been out a month.
