If you are young and have time to gamble on stocks before retirement it's more okay, but still silly

1) MP3 players were first made by ZEN and a few other small companies that were bought out/sued to death by apple. They didnt invent mobile media players in any way shape or form.
ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_media_player

2) Palm Pilot and Compaq were the first organizations to introduce gsm/cdma modems in their hand held devices. Apple didnt come up with this idea either, nor did they improve on it.
ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone

3) Uh, their desktop and laptop platforms have consistently been utter garbage for libarts retards that dont know how to roll their own hardware.

We're talking about Apple as an innovative company from an investment standpoint. The iTunes music store has made $50 billion dollars since it was introduced.

Whoa there tex, you might hurt one of these apple fanboys feelings. We all know they dont use common sense and like paying 2x/3x for last years hardware.

But, the GUI is so pretty and it never "crashes".

you're talking about Steve Jobs being a kickass executive

when Apple gave him the boot he made another super successful company (Pixar) while Apple floundered and begged him to come back and he did and turned everything around

now he's dead and they're making gimmicky watches and floating on releasing the next iteration of the iPhone and their liquid capital
