“Smug sells, until it doesn’t.”

Hear, Hear!

Strange. I was thinking that "Smug" is the province of people who post comments such as “Smug sells, until it doesn’t.”

Your statement was factually correct. Although your context wasn't.

I'm finding it rather comical people never change. They feel emboldened by their trendy technology. If you love their products so much, put your money where your mouth is and invest. Go ahead.

And no, I don't hate Apple. Me and the misses own iPhone 5's. They're simple and they work. We owned stock in the 80's, but sold in the 90's when they went off the rails, teaming up with IBM and producing absolute garbage for 5 years. And they seem to be doing it again. The new phones look just like other Korean phones that came out a few years back. Apple was known to be an innovator. Sorry, you can't innovate from behind.



You're seeing the beginning of the end of the honeymoon for Apple. If they don't get their act together and start offering products that are actually purposeful, simple, flexible, and ergonomic, instead of trendy, eclectic overpriced entertainment paperweights, they're going to decline as fast as they climbed. With Microsoft and Google offering more and more Android offerings, that trend in the market is set to dominate the landscape by 2020. Without Jobs, it appears there's no Apple. Pity.
