Apple’s at a point where they could outright destroy all competition by GIVING AWAY their products for a year or so, and still survive with cash in the bank.

If they did, I'd still buy a Galaxy for $400 than take an iPhone for free. I just don't like them.

There are always those who will shoot themselves in the foot no matter how obvious that it ‘so not in their own best interests not to.

As in another subject area ... there are always atheists who will shoot themselves in the foot, too ... even when God makes himself obvious to them.

No matter what one does, there will always be people around working against themselves.

Another one that pops into my mind ... in the area of politics ... is that political operatives say that you ignore dealing with the 20% of the people on either extreme edge of an issue. If they are the 20% on your side, you’re wasting your time talking to them because they already agree with you. If you talk to the 20% on the other extreme, you’r wasting your time because they’ll never agree with you.

You want to talk to the 60% between those two extremes, because you can get them to agree with you.

AND ... if you get 66% of the entire pie to be on your side, that’s considered to be the really golden number as that’s unbeatable.
