Interesting point.
Why is Limbaugh such an Apple fanboy?
Hard to imagine he needs the money....

Seriously, when was the last time you bought Apple anything (other than pie)? I don't think they just lost your business...

Here, here.

I was an original Mac buyer. Didn’t take long for me to see what was up there.

People really do love a tyrant. Jobs was worshipped, especially by the left. I laugh because the guy died before he was able to enjoy that gaudy yacht of his.

Castro is worshipped by the left too. That Houston mayor has groupies.

Tell me what to do, and tell me who the bad guy is, and make sure my government check gets here on time (along with my free Iphone, my section 8 housing, my free cheese and my free transit card).

Like moths drawn to the light, Apple haters are irresistibly attracted to any thread having to do with Apple. These haters come to hurl insults at Apple users and Apple products. Like Zombies moving toward living brains to eat, they mindlessly are driven to do this.

Why would you have ever bought one in the past? The company was always like this.

Put in mind, that their products are simply far from cheap, and they dumped their cheaper options. Without Steve Jobs, they pretty much go back to decline. They are outgrown by Android in Phones, and Nokia and Microsoft Phones are throwing out nice features and self-containment in their products that was the very feature Apple boasted about years ago. Without Steve Jobs, once because they kicked him out, and the second time, because he lost his health and died, Apple is going the mediocre route and being beaten at its’ own game. Steve Jobs wouldn’t put up with that: he was a passionate competitor, and the kind of CEO who demanded that they keep their products appealing and throw in new features that make the products easy to learn. sometimes entitled a Crusader, Holy Warrior, or Jihadist by the Silicon Valley community

You’re also correct that Tim Cook isn’t really helping Apple much, Apple’s problem has been that they have a limited sale scope given that their computers are expensive, they already appealed to pretty much the same demographic that Cook’s coming out was meant to appeal to in the first place. With Steve at the helm, they at least were able to grow for a time, by getting to some new customers in the pool. Without him, management settles for the mediocre, and lets the competitors pretty much make the innovation, as well as take control of the lower price gaps. For computing nowadays, you have to sell a spectrum of quality and price in your products, the current management isn’t willing to do that.
