You know, I'm actually excited about Windows 7. I think Microsoft is so determined to amend its Vista blunder that they will point every gun they have at Windows 7. If this is the case, I await it eagerly. Competition is good and keeps Apple on its toes.

That is why Apple have started to diversify into things like phones... Still having significant growth in the computer side of things helps a lot too.
Of course the world economy has flopped into killer inverted-tail-spin-death spiral thanks to the mess in the US - a situation not aided by all the psycho-headless-chicken-panic that has sent stock markets into free-fall... When the government tells people not to panic the first reaction appears to be - there's something they ain't telling us! panic!
They say that every year...and yet we saw the iPhone and the air.
Apple just doesn't tip their hand. I bet we'll see the xMac at some point, it's just a question of when. And until it is announced, apple will insist that their product line is perfect and nothing new is needed.
Does anyone even know the answer to that question?
Hahahahaha touche!!
Wii is teh best thing evar!
No, seriously, though, I love mine. For costing about the same as
TV, the Wii is a MUCH better value, especially for families, and non-gamers.-Clive
Nahh... I was excited about Vista! Watching the train-wreck that was the Longhorn development process was the imputes to try out a Mac (if I was going to have to buy new hardware and upgrade my apps anyway...). Then the Mini came along - and now I've switched completely and am much happier for it.
Its pretty common knowledge that Microsoft and Sony sell their main game systems for a loss, hoping to make it up with software sales or marketshare.

PS3 and Xbox 360 both sold at a loss. That doesn't mean Sony and Microsoft didn't make a ton money on software and other related contracts, though...

Not at all good, and that's the point. They certainly weren't reporting record profits. This is turning into a battering of historic proportions, which I can only compare numerically to a time when Apple was not in anything like its current condition financially.

With DotTunes you can access your iTunes music through your Wii... and I wouldn't doubt that video playback is right around the corner as well.
With a Wii, you have a two-for.
Plus, if you hack it, you can give it a DVD player.-Clive

I just love it! Cheap, tons of great games, and thanks to Wii Sports i lost 10 pounds! What's not to love?
And now,
TV = my next purchase
Wow if that really is a screen shot of Windows 7, then it can be declared once and for all and for the end of time that Microsoft is not in the business of selling software but copying Apple. If I'm not mistaken that looks like dock clone/wannabe. And a fugly attempt at that.
I'd like to request a moratorium on posts about stock prices from people that know ******** about stocks, P/E ratios, analyst expectations, and everything else that's related to what you call the "financial condition" of a company. Stick to squealing about pink ipods, I beg you.
From who?
From itself. Not everyone buys every new iPod that comes out. I have a 5.5G that is more than enough for me for the next few years.

I think apple stock still has a way to go before bottoming out. the way the us economy is, I expect a few apple less profitable apple stores to close, and that business moved to bigbox stores.
apple should offer apple stock purchase on their website to push it back up. just a click to own it.
the us is so broke is not real.

It does certainly resemble a launch bar of some sort, but other than that, it's hard to make heads or tails of it. Like, what the hell is Control Panels doing floating above it for no apparent reason? ...and then the Office Suite just above that?
It makes no sense, and I'm calling "fake." We'll wait to see what's in the pipe.
