Then quit whining and reporting people when they give you back the attitude you dish out. You are attracting this behaviour from others. So cop it
His last paragraph is true. The A7 processor has been universally lauded as being a significant achievement by Apple. It truly is innovative.
That project was cancelled in 2010 - give me innovation that works.
Do you think any products on the market these days are really good?

Thank you
MacRumors could do with some sort of down voting/spam functionality that YouTube and Stack Overflow has. It does a good job of clearing out the disliked posts, leaving the forums a lot nicer.

I was rather excited about that Courier tablet back then before they canceled it. However why are you trying to show us an innovation that isn't even out on the market yet?
Considering you can't go back down, I wonder how legitimate that number is.
What are you smoking? Toyota has dominated VW for years.
Who's to say it doesn't work? Just because airhead Steve Ballmer blew it up because it wasn't Windows, that doesn't mean it wouldn't be an amazing new product EVEN THREE YEARS LATER if it was launched today.
I think the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s were really good by 2011 standards. You know, the last year that Jobs was in charge. Ever since then, it's been number crunchers and bean counters in charge, just doubling all the numbers and lazily slimming the product dimensions for no reason because they don't have any kind of product vision. Tim Cook is the next Ballmer and Apple is going to iterate itself out of a customer base with their absurd ripoff prices.
Thank you

OHH I SEE! You just want an echo chamber where everybody has the exact same opinion as you and there are about five posts in every new thread. That's great! You and your buddies can have the entire forum all to yourselves!

Because the ONLY reason it never got to market is because Microsoft is run by a bunch of raging lunatics who won't make anything that doesn't run "Windows".
General Electric. Not sure if you're being sarcastic I'm surprised Samsung is so high on the list even if they do sell so many phones.
I dunno, I've never met anyone IRL who preferred Pepsi over Coke. At restaurants and cafés or wherever everyone would always ask for a coke, sometimes being met with "is Pepsi okay?".
No, it wasn't okay!
Except the world's most valuable company is the no.1 on the list
Apple is worth around 60 billion more than Exxon mobile right now.
Does trolling every post on MR quoting that make you feel better ?
Yes people are complaining about innovation, no one is saying apple is doomed. That's just BS that is posted on MR..... On ever single post
It was sarcasm though, lmao. I've never trolled about Apple here or anywhere else before lol.
I know lots of people that prefer Pepsi to Coke... And of course they ask if it is ok, you specifically ordered a Coke and they are letting you know that's not what you are going to get.
YEAH IBM!!
The brand everyone knows but knows nothing about, not sure how they manage this
I thought the same thing about GE.
They do a lot more than you may think. For example your local Walmart, Target or whatever supermarket is likely using IBM for the checkouts, receipt printers and backoffice. Then you've got their enterprise (beastly!) servers which get heavy use with distributed cloud hosting.
They also do bank systems (which most banks in the world use), credit card terminals, medical hardware, etc.
One of their best products (IMO) is their portable, modular datacenter.
Whilst they no longer really focus much on the consumer market, they are big in a lot more places than you may think

The myopic views here never cease to amaze me.
Google created directions? Are you serious? Are you really serious?
And who users street view? 1 out of a hundred? A thousand? I have talked to a single person that used street view for more than an idle curiosity.

And this is why most would see your view on tech as lacking. Anyone one that would point to a fully unrealized product that was impossible as presented in a conceptual video as "innovative" understands less about technology and innovation than the average 15 year old.
IBM is higher than Microsoft on this list but go to any pro-Microsoft forum and suggest MS would be more successful if they were more like IBM and not Apple and you get laughed off the forum. Microsoft has never been a hardware company. In Bill Gates mind, hardware was a cheap commodity and it was all about software. Not sure why they think getting deeper into the hardware business makes sense.
You COULD care less? So you do care a bit then?
I think you meant to write "I couldn't care less". Thats the one that makes sense.

You call concept ideas that were never made "innovation" - wow, amazing. If you hadn't noticed Apple never make concept videos or release ideas of projects they might do and then never make. But if you want to Youtube peoples ideas on Apple you can see iPhones that project onto the wall and floating holograms, innovation huh? (on another note that Microsoft courier concept was an awful idea, hence never making it to the market - you're an idiot).
YEAH IBM!!
The brand everyone knows but knows nothing about, not sure how they manage this
Ridiculous statement IBM is perhaps the largest and most well known/trusted vendor for business software.
Do you have any idea how many banks, hospitals, retail organizations, insurance companies, restaurant chains, Government agencies and so on around the world that rely on IBM enterprise software?
Of course it's up there with one of the world's most valuable brands.
Same. I think that brand doesn't even exist in my country.
Here, Toyota likely isn't that popular as well (not as much as GM or Honda). Not to mention IBM...
I wonder if the millennial generation will even come to know who IBM is (apart from those in the tech field of course).
YEAH IBM!!

DuckDuckGo Knowledge Navigator. It was in the time Apple had lost its way and believed innovation came from unrealized concepts and not actual shipping product.
