Apple Will Go Down Hill - Ming-Yan - 05-10-2011
Their computers are over priced so when you buy the new one, you can't buy the new one that comes the next year. Then after you save for it, it's obsolete and you have to buy a new mac.
Eventually, no one will buy macs when they come out and Apple will lose money.
Also, when Steve Jobs leaves Apple [for a lack of a better term], who will support it? The last time he was on leave, the 3GS and iPT3G had the SAME physical look and the Nano was the same with a camera.
Apple can't just make software updates and expect to ship it at full price.
So there is another hit to them.
Lastly, Apple has recently been making CRAP icons. The iTuns icon is now crap, the voice memos icon is crap (4.2+), and the facetime icon is crap (4.3+). Even the mac store icon looks crap.
If Apple products look like crap, no one will buy them. People only buy macs because they look hawt and user friendly.

Sorry but I do not agree with you at all. I love Apple. If anything will go downhill it will probably Microsoft.
PS.
I do not know a single person who cares about what the icons look like LOL!

Microsoft cannot fall because it is used on almost all computers (except Linux).
Office (word, ppt, excel) are all made by Microsoft and ".doc" is the essential format documents are written in.
As well as this is the Xbox/gaming market and Xbox Live giving lots of $$ to Microsoft.
ANOTHER POINT: the windows phone 7 is an OS that can be used by other companies where as the iPhone is only made by Apple so it cannot spread fast like Android did.
LAST POINT: PCs in general are cheaper and windows will work on a variety of types where as Mac OS only works on Macs.
You entire argument is invalid and completely biased because you "love Apple".

Microsoft IS starting to go downhill.
Apple at least continues to release innovative products, while Microsoft is just creating bloated crapware.

Google is gonna start making computers soon, so there will be HUGE competition between Google and MS.
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - noob007 - 05-11-2011
Google is going up fast.

Apple is just polishing old stuff and selling for huge prices. Almost nothing is new about their stuff.

Except for OpenCL, their new processor, and their fiber-optic hard drive.

Meh, I prefer Linux over IOS. They have the same code and Linux isn't overprised, infact it's free. Windows is the best for me, though.
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - noob007 - 05-11-2011
Linux is way better than iOS and Windows... xD
