Again with your "marketshare is everything" mantra. When will you get it through your head that Apple's VERY SUCCESSFUL business model is based on being a niche vendor??? If Apple ever reached 25% marketshare they would have to stop being Apple -- they'd become just another PC vendor, suffering along with crappy margins. They're not that stupid.

Apples are for the masses and the jackasses.
This is why Apple will lose the clone wars
Because its stuff is too high priced
You in effect pay a hardware tax to the Jesse Jobs gang
You cannot stop diffusion of technology.
History proves this

Capitalism is controlled anarchy and Apple cannot control the anarchy it unleashed with its business model of skimming the cream off the top. This outdated model is doomed for an epic FAIL. The winners? The clone makers and it will start in foreign nations where Apple can't enforce jack. It will then spread from the periphery to the center where it will start with people "smuggling" in foreign made laptop (MacBook) clones then eventually people importing the same from abroad on an individual basis

There will be so many clone makers worldwide that there will be deadly clone wars called "Lord of the Clones" similar to "Lord of the Flies"

Wow, what an incoherent rant. Didn't I tell you a few minutes ago to get a dealer with better drugs? Let's see...

Uh huh, and that's why there are no high end automobile manufacturers, just low-end clone makers, churning our Yugos for the masses. Right. You're out of your flipping mind.

How long do you propose I will have to wait until this happens? Months? Years? Decades????

Care to make a $100 bet? Set the date for this to happen, and we'll wait for it. Put some money where your mouth is, Dennis -- on condition that the winner donates it to FR. I'm fairly sure JimRob would accept it and validate the donor back to us.
