And there are lots of them. Times are getting harder. Some
people work the street. Some work the media.

Speaking if that, what ever happened to Laura Didio?

Loosing it? Probably just vested interest
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, December 15 2012 @ 11:48 AM EST

The key may be in:

Roger McNamee, an investor who's been analyzing the output of Silicon Valley for 30 years
That'll raise the interesting questions:
    How many shares in Apple does Mr. McNamee have and is he concerned about their value?
Especially given the iPhone's initial meteoric rise in the smartphone industry and recent numbers indicating Android is heavily replacing it.

An analyst losing it

Seems to assume Google and Samsung both want to be Apple.

Both are far more diverse, IMHO doing things for different reasons and in better
position to survive being a "Victim of Fashion".

If Apple falls from public favor, which could potentially happen as fast as
their rise, what are their options?

Apple TV?
Drop hardware prices to the competitors level?
Litigation income from questionable patents?

Me I'm obviously no Apple fan, but no Android fan either although there are a
couple of Android toys in my house.

IMO neither iOS or Android and their associated devices are as open as they
should be.

Android might be the gate
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, December 15 2012 @ 02:19 PM EST
but not everybody can afford or wants a Ferrari, or Galaxy S3,
so there's an awful lot of scooters out there, that splutter and
cough and only do five miles an hour uphill. Just take a look
at the sub-$150 "smart" phone sector, then get back to us.
