That\'s true... Jobs dictated that millions of people buy Apple products artificially inflating their stock price... or perhaps those millions were free to do so on their own accord?
I know it\'s a tangent, but have you seen the stock price of MSFT under Balmer?
It\'s not up to me to educate people. Lots of people will stand in lines to buy..wait for it... a phone? Samsung has had some great fun with that lately.
Lots of people are just consumers, not understanding, or caring about what they buy as long as everyone else is doing it too. Some have minimal needs that are easily met, some like to be told what to do and what to think, some like to pay more for a device than they should because they\'re told it\'s the \"best\' and they\'re elitist. Marketing 101, covered decades ago in my sophomore year I think. Oh well, sheep and cattle pretty much walk down the aisle too..
Actually I haven\'t paid any attention to MS\'s stock. Balmer is what I affectionately refer to as a \"bridge troll\". I\'m pretty sure that if he could be sidelined, or even put in a closet with a bunch of locks on it, MS would be better off. He is not an asset.
