It's even more ironic, when one of the most notorious Apple Hater/Microsoft Lovers writes: Microsoft's Negative Brand Image Gets Worse in PC magazine, within the same year.
"Sucks less" is indeed considered high praise, in this context.
Linking to a John C. Dvorak article on PC Magazine...

At least Charlie is right.
Bravo for the advertising.
Now it's time to take care of all of the quality problems success has brought Apple.
I love the products when they work, but enough is enough. Quality seems to be inversely correlated with their advertising awards.

1. Windows 8
2. Streaming iVid (which will suck less)
3. The other cube
4. OS 10.7.0 which is not stable until 10.7.3
5. OSX Touch Tablet/Finder/Convergence/Bug Report
6. Heads up display, voice control, wireless power (airpower-tm)
7. 16 cores, 4 of which are actually useable at a time.
8. A living space consisting of an Apple product, a futon, a formerly interesting spouse, two speakers, and a wireless router/port. An outdoors experience which is a tiny fraction as interesting as the inside virtual one. Go inside. The graphics are amazing.
Merely Rocketman

I saw one of these the other day in the store for repair. Still working after all these years, just wanted to know if they could upgrade any components.
Hopefully not from Apple, so that we'll get it at the 40 Mbps that will give us Blu-ray quality.
Apple's been advertising "64-bit" even before they actually had a single line of 64-bit userland software.
I'm sure that "64-bit" in 10.7 will have a footnote pointing to a list of items where OSX is less "64-bit" than Windows. (And a list of Apple systems with 64-bit Intel processors that Apple won't support *at all* in 10.7).
Basing the future of one point in history is a bit stupid. Its like trying to draw a graph with only one Cartesian point and the only hint is that it has a gradient.
The "stupid" thing was DMann's post, where most of the "predictions" are on the public roadmaps for 2012.

And what does "the future of one point in history" actually mean? I can't make sense of that at all.... (Translate into American English if necessary.)
Stupid is, as stupid does - you seem to be ignorant of the fact that 2012 is well within the time frame of next decade:
You're batting .1000, Shaw
Priceless, in a big way.
You need to read more books. Its a paradox based off a famous saying.
Instead of being obtuse, please explain.
Not at all. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict the "next decade" if all she does is recite the published roadmaps for the next two years.
I think the original question was asking for some "different thinking" - what could happen in ten years that's beyond simple augmentation of 2009 technology into 2011? The "Next Decade" is 2020, not 2011.
Draw yourself a timeline if it helps.

For all this roadmap nonsense.

Product Steve is holding: iPod Shuffle
Shape of product Steve is holding: roundrec
A firm grasp of the obvious....
I first thought SJ was holding up an Apple Remote. When Rocketman mentioned it was a roundrec I knew it couldn't be an Apple Remote as it is not a roundrec, merely a rec. So I complemented Rocketman on the sharp eye he had.
I hope this helps to un
you. 
Well ... actually, the hand model won the award. Steve Jobs walked up onto stage with a box, set the box on the podium and the hand popped out of the box and accepted the award.
The Apple Decade
These past ten years have definitely been Apple's decade. Steve Jobs is truly a visionary, I was with Apple when they cut Steve, then it just went down hill from then. He came back and just completely reinvented the company. He connected people's emotions to they technology that they use which has created a massive Apple crazy and super loyal customer base. I have never heard anyone say they didn't like their Apple product. It's a beautiful movement, all steamed from the noggin of Steve Jobs. Godspeed Steve and Apple forever.

That's the strength of Apple advertising
No, Apple was not the first (by a long stretch). Quote: "In 1998, Compaq developed the first hard drive based DAP using a 2.5" laptop drive." More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_playerIn fact, Apple entered the MP3 market when it was fairly well established (Rio and Creative NOMAD were popular brands).

Apple never advertised that, ever. Dont blame uniformed people on marketing. Its a douchy tactic.
