If I were the NEW CEO of Apple...

Exactly. You don't have a clue how the markets work.

Can't believe I was responding to a guy whose signature is "DANGER, post may contain sarcasm". Trolled

why with my ideas Apple would be market leader outselling dell , asus,acer... within month and osx would run within a year on more computers then windows

A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

i like Henry Ford a true business man he created Fordism

seen enough issues with Mac's and most seem to think a computer priced like a Mac should have no issues , so simple thing to do is dropping the price back to realistic values

and my goal as CEO of Apple would be
in 5 years from now in every household around the world be it a penthouse in dubai or a hut in zimbabwe at least 1 Apple Mac
and i would create Appleism so even the poorest of the poor will be able to buy a NEW Mac, because my strategy is selling to income based prices @25% of your monthly income with proof , but first droping the prices to realistic value , then step by step down

1. Would increase market share hugely by making; a cheaper, pre-paid iphone, an ad-supported iPad and manufacture plastic Macs with older hardware running OSX. (Imagine how many working class customers Apple will have!)
2. Would make a gaming MacBook Pro, once again to capture market share.
3. Would open the App Store for pornographic / adult applications, have no restrictions on what developers are allowed to make.

Will edit more in, later.

On second thought, forget about the giraffes.

Blasphemy! How dare you sully the brand by releasing something the unwashed masses can afford. is for the rich. is for the stylish. is for the elitist. will reclaim the title of world's thinnest notebook.

I'd squash the rumors of OS X/iOS merger. After that, I'd crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

I hope all of you who are saying "Mac Mac OS run on regular machines" realize the reason the OS is so stable is because its built and tested with a specific hardware configuration.

Windows works on almost everything which is why its less stable. Its not a bad thing, it just means MS went with the compatibility route which is more important for some vs the stability route which is more important for others.

And before people chime in with "Linux works with everything" it doesn't work with everything well, just like Windows.

i am self employed and do quiet well and my customers are happy customers thats all what counts for me , i dont start a business with the goal of making profits , if it does its ok , but primarily i do business to make people happy , and if they are happy i am happy too , ok i might never get rich , but as long as i can pay the roof over my head and pay for food and bills its allright and thats all i need a roof over my head an something to eat

i just dont like to rip off customers, so a 5% profit margin is more then enough for me and i already feel guilty about that as i needed to rise it from 3% because of the taxman who thinks i should make far more profits just like my competiton does 30%+ how can someone justify such a profit margin its only a rip off


btw i sell everything from A-Z as a part time job and drive blood and live organs as another part time job and some other part time jobs like film cutting, i am a workoholic , if i am not busy for 16 hours a day i get deeply depressed

Dude, raise your prices or control your costs. It's not ripping people off, it's doing business. You're getting taken advantage of by your customers.

You in control of a public company would be disaster. You understand the owners of the company invest in the company to earn a return on their investment, right? You would have a fiduciary obligation to shareholders to maximize their return, not maximize world happiness.

Release an iPhone with a 4.0" screen. Market it as "THE BIG PHONE" and have conehead Dan Akroyd market it.
