Oh, right, I forgot... and they FORECAST well into the uncertain future,

Somebody at Apple apparently did the same thing, and miscalculated. Reports from other sources seem to indicate they were anticipating a lot better sales figures from China than they've gotten.

The tech writers whores don't get fired when they belch forth flawed prognostications.

Apple's sales forecasters are supposed to be better than that, else if they fail often enough, they should get canned.

Are you referring to iPhone sales forecasts made in investor calls, that turned out badly, or what? I don't follow Apple (or anyone -- no stock in any of them) so I'm kinda iggerant. Links to your "other sources" would help me get eggumacated. Thanks!
