Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

And worry free. He left the company in good hands with Tim Cook.

THAT remains to be seen. So far Lion has been Apple's Vista, DESPITE multi-millions in PR dumped at online and offline media to cover it up. The boiler rooms of fake online posters in India must be HUMMING.

The majority of longterm Mac computer users don't want an iOS toy OS, and that's that. Cult or no, more long term professionals are leaving the platform than at any other time in Apple's history, and for good reasons.

And if Apple thinks the ten-year olds can give a proper cutting-edge cachet to their products better than feature film directors and editors, then good luck to them!

LOOK! The all-new iPad! Steven Spielberg shot and edited his new hit movie "E.T: The Disembowelment" on it! And be sure to read our feature article how GaGa's entire tenth CD was recorded, mixed, edited, and distributed to the world on iPad!!!

Exactly. I don't hate Windows for the sake of hating Windows. After all I have used Windows for close to 2 decades. Macs just work better. Plus I like the fact that OSX is in reality a polished *NIX distro.

I don't know if Macs work better, they're only different. I use primarily Windows Vista on my Mini and OSX + Virtual Box + Crossover on my Macbook. BSOD is annoying but I've hardly seen any after WinXP (in XP itself rarely showed one to me). Also, it's not rare to see a eternal swirling beach ball in OSX. I also find Windows Explorer much better than OSX Finder. Finder seems a lightweight and outdated file manager comparing to Explorer. Even Ubuntu's file manager works better than Finder most times, providing more tools for editing file attributes and file operations.

I really like Unix tools provided by OSX, but you can do almost the same stuff with Cygwin on Windows. I use both OS indistinctly.

Apple really changed its target since iStuff devices. Apple was a bit more geek between late 80's and early 90's. This time Apple was a niche computer company, however producing beautifully engineered ones. It was a kind of successful Amiga Computer. Now Apple is a bipolar brand, trying to keep its reputation on Macs but the majority of revenue comes from iToys. And to convince Mac owners to buy iToys and iToy owners to buy Macs, they've became more bipolar as they have to simplify OSX user interface at the same time they have to provide valuable applications for iToys.

I can't believe old Mac owners giving too much credit for iToys. iWorld is a different world they've used to live inside the Apple universe.

What evidence do you have that there is a "cover-up" underway?

Define "longterm" and how many is a majority in this case? 51%? And how do you know what this majority of longterm mac users wants? Multiple choice survey? Where did you get your data?

What the hell is a long term professional? In what numbers were they leaving the platform prior to this time in history? What exactly is the timeframe you are using when you say "any other time in Apple's history"? The past six months? How many of these so-called long term professionals are now leaving vs. the number that used to leave? What about part time professionals? Professional wannabes? Are there full time advantage professionals?

Is that what Apple thinks? Are you sure it isn't 12 year olds they're after? Did you intercept an Apple memo describing their plans?

Indeed.

If I've learned one thing in my years on the net, it is to never belabor the obvious with the clueless. Especially when it comes to how corporations do business.

It may make you feel self-righteous, but you seriously come off like someone talking out of their ass. Since you're apparently incapable of backing up your assertions with nothing more than half-baked attempts at smugness, here's a clue: that mental scaffolding you've constructed to prop up your worldview is not a substitute for facts. ;)

Please remember some people troll to elicit a response, don't encourage them by falling into their negativity.

Any corporation that doesn't have a boiler room either under its own direction or the direction of its PR firm is operating in the 20th century, and that's a simple fact. You might even be proof.

I've been down this road before and have left hundreds of thousands of facts in my wake on this website and many others; you, have not.

NOT particularly sorry that ruffles your belief system in Apple either.

Another simple fact? Backslapping is as common in boiler rooms as sock puppets are on the net.

And in cults.

Link us to the facts you have left in your wake on this website, I'd love to read them.

Kudos SJ for iOS! Now watch Tim Cook take things up a notch.

The guy is hot, but he needs a wardrobe consultant to show him how to wear a hard hat.

That, or the picture is just a fake taken with a model who didn't want to get "hat hair".

It's also unfortunate that his Itoy hasn't warned him that the conveyor belt has been blown off the tracks on the elevator in the background.

Clearly he works inside in the office - where “The iPad is basically a touch-screen remote for the main control computer running XP”. And he's not smiling because he's a bit scared to be 20m in the air on a catwalk trying to read an Itoy in full sunlight.

Yes, the Itoy is a UI for Windows XP. Thank you for another testimonial showing how important Windows is to the enterprise.

It's the green smart cover that really gives him away hey?
I would have thought he was thinking.
"Man,... I got this system working so wouldn't have to come up here".

XP seriously...
I thought you had cred.
It would be a real time OS for sure,
like Windows CE,
or one of the Unix-Like ones.

I'm using that link as merely an example that corporations (and even individuals), in the digital age, employ many tactics to either gain consumer confidence or rattle the competition such as "stealth" online campaigns
