10% Drop for Apple: Is Apple Still Cool?

Apple was never cool

There is something fishy here. Amazon reports a loss and someone is buying stocks enough to up the worth and Apple reports profit and stock goes down.
Who is behind this?
Surely a wise investor would not put their money in Amazon.

it's overpriced and they hardly ever innovate but they are attributed with the innovations.

You must be blind. Most innovations were first on Apple and then PC started to use them, usually with bad results. You have to look back to the early times.
Now both systems don't innovate much anymore.

like what?

From a user's point of view, Windows 7 looks and acts more like a Mac from a few years ago than any Windows PC of the same vintage.
Immatation is the sinserest form of flattery.
Tablet computers were invented some time ago and faded away. It took Apple to get it right. Now the entire computer industry is chasing the IPads success.
Everything you like about your touchscreen smart phone was pioneered by Apple. All those hand gestures, a screen that flips , Apps, on and on. You can thank Jobs for all that innovation. Before the IPhone, the 'smartest' smart phone you could but was a Black Berry, definitely not cool.

There were touchscreen phones available prior to the IPhone but like the tablet, it took Apple to get it right.
BlackBerry was the 'smartphone' of choice, until Apple showed the world what a smart phone should be. All that innovation you are now accustomed to and all other manufacturers have included in their designs can be attributed to Apple. Many companies found guilty of infringing on apple iphone patents.
As a former exclusive user of PCs starting with widows 3.0 who still has an XP pro and win7 in addition to Macs starting with Tiger, I can say every refinement showing up in Win 7 was common place on a Mac years earlier. Windows still needs more refinement. Too many unnecessary clicks.

I think you are wasting time on Donnie.

oh you mean pattens like the rounded edge of a rectangle; face it apple is a patten troll. and by the time the iPhone was out everyone else had worked out what a smartphone was apple just out marketed them. and touchscreen technology had refined itself in other fields before apple popularized it with their touchscreen tablet. don't mix up popularizing an with actual innovation.

Apple is still cool, but they are ridiculous at times. Now I have a iPad, iPhone, iPod and every year they are coming out with a new expensive devise to make your old one obsolete. I just upgraded my phone to 4s and six months later there is iPhone 5?!?! They are trying to force their consumers to upgrade their products when there is nothing wrong with them. Still using my iPad 1 & I refuse to give Apple any more money right now. I'll go android first.

Any cool Apple had left the second Steve Jobs passed on.

don't think it ever has been cool :P

I still like Apple products but with Samsung on the come up, they have to be more flexible with product choices and PRICES.

ive always been an android fan when it comes to phones

I wan never a fan of it to start with.

well for there baseline mbp with cd drive and ipod classic, everything else is overpriced for what you get,

Apple is awesome... if you're technologically impaired!

why do you people think we should jump through hoops just to use microsoft office or surf the web??? why should everyone who needs to use a computer be a computer wiz to use it????

you people are weird,

This is complete nonsense
I build my own pc's
I develop websites
I administrate Linux servers
I am pretty fluent in php/mysql
Are you saying that I'm technologically impaired? Go on, I DARE you to question my 30+ years of programming experience, my 15+ years of building and troubleshooting PC's


I use Apple mobile devices. Why? They work. Out of the box, no fuss, no muss, the WORK. I don't HAVE to tweak them (though, honestly I do, just a bit).

Now, part of this might be back in the day when I got my first iPhone (3g-s), Android wasn't available. OR , part of it might be that EVERY friend I've seen with droid devices (including my sister) has been nothing but frustrated with them 6 months after purchasing. Either way, I'm hardly technologically impaired, and yes, I DO use Apple products. I know plenty of OTHER people in the same boat. Stay away from labels, because you know nothing of what you speak.

For me Apple was always too big to be cool in the first place. I am proud to say that I have never ever had an apple product!

It shows.

Whatever!

I've never been a fan of Apple, really.

Well, I'm still seeing their products everywhere so I'm guessing they're still "cool".

yes it is

Cool but not as cool.

I own a Dell and can relate 100%. And Dell's customer service is unhelpful, they insist that a certain problem is because you're an idiot, and they don't know what to do when it's a very real problem. Mine ran like a dream for 2 months after getting it but it's been problems ever since, I have to use a wireless internet adapter because the internet doesn't work on it otherwise, it's been like that for 2 years (well, almost 2 years, since May 2011).

Look up my story about Dell, somewhere here.

but "your just technologically impaired" lol. or so the pc weirdo's would like to tell you! to those people they think everyone should have a bachelor in computers and get pc's and be able to jump through millions of hoops just to get things to work.
they are weird,

i have a macbook and getting a macbook pro. easy to use, it works, you don;t need an education in computers to be able to use (not a bad thing, unlike in pc lovers minds).

macs ftw

'cept for the fact their shares are dropping. Not a good sign for my dad :-/

Of course it is.

It DEFINITELY is still cool. Check out this video I made on an Apple Product,http://www.youtube.co...

I never thought it was cool in the first place. I'm a PC.

isheep isheep isheep

Yup.

I like Apple. I wish the MacBook was inexpensive.
