| Is Apple Computers the most innovative company in | | | | the hype and pay too much for what they are |
| the world? Some believe so, but it seems to me all | | | | producing. It is fairly obvious to me that Apple cares |
| their so-called innovation is merely incremental, | | | | about one thing - stock price. And to keep it up, |
| borrowed, bought, or happens to be first to market. | | | | they have to keep introducing new stuff and hype |
| Now, people could say that Steve Jobs is their | | | | the crap out of it. I have hype fatigue when it |
| savior, and point to the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and | | | | comes to Apple, so take a bite out of that! |
| perhaps the future iCar, and iBigWheel with a GPS | | | | The reality is that Bill Gates at Comdex 1997 had a |
| system and alternative energy charging device when | | | | wrist watch emailing device, and yet, it was never |
| you peddle, but are any of these so far ahead of | | | | brought to market. Touch Screen technologies are |
| the competition that they really set Apple out above | | | | not new, nor is the hand motion systems for flipping |
| the field? | | | | pages or moving screens. MIT had that years ago, |
| Has anyone ever wondered where Apple would be | | | | and we even saw in the movie Minority Report, the |
| without all the "hype" and road show marketing | | | | use of such systems, a guy in Los Angeles invented |
| propaganda? I realize that many people have taken | | | | that system. Lockheed Martin has a patent to use it |
| to Apple like some sort of religion, and that's fine and | | | | for air traffic control. |
| all that; to each his own, never-the-less, what if? | | | | Microsoft had shown the world their flat panel, tablet |
| "What if" Apple didn't market the way they do, | | | | like, touch screens for restaurant tables and business |
| would anyone really believe they are the end all, be | | | | purposes. Apple just packaged it nice and hyped the |
| all? Everyone says that Apple is the most innovative | | | | ever living crap out of it. Good for them, but that |
| company, and if you do not believe their hypsters | | | | does not necessarily make them the best innovative |
| you can ask the company themselves and they will | | | | company in 2010, it just makes them the best |
| tell you; "Indeed we are the most innovative" | | | | branding and marketing company this year. Just like |
| Whereas, Apple has many brand-loyalists, I guarantee | | | | the Obama Campaign did the best branding for him |
| you, I am not one, nor do I wish to be gouged by | | | | to get elected president. Please consider all this. |
