Why the apple bubble is bursting

Why the apple bubble is bursting

Remember  Apple has never been  an  innovator. The smart phone,   tablets  , and i  pod  like devices were all other people's ideas.  Steve Jobs  had  a  core of cult like  followers  who created the Apple  mania. That aura is now lost. Remember  how  under Jobs  Apple never even conducted focus group studies .   It was assumed that  if the deity  Jobs approved it, that was good enough for his minion followers.

Well now folks the tide  has changed.  Jobs is dead   and so the   light sabre that  inspired the   masses is now being extinguished. What  we have in its place is a boring guy  and a culture  that never relied on innovation... but on    consumer manipulation.   Design a phone,  give the people alot of toys, convince them that they need all 600 000 apps,  charge a rip off price,  and yes, ensure that  your product is made in the most tyrannical sweat shop in China.  Then  start dictating to  cable companies  how   you will control the content from now  on  especially when   i TV  comes out. Again   Samsung is already  there. iTV  wil be a copy cat    with maybe another  SYRI  voice over,   or maybe even the voice of Steve Jobs  because   when ur a shameless marketer company, dead people  is within ur realm of  possibilities  to  exploit also.

 

Now  RIM   screwed up too , but   my man   Thurston    Howell  the  third  has been listening.  They have been working on  this system  that stresses security, reliability,  and performance to the business elites that depend on these features.   And   people are now  realizing that  an app  that has one  application with  60 different back grounds or endings really is  A SINGLE APP.      I  recall that famous song  "22 000  days "  by the Moody Blues  where the singer (Ray Thomas) says "its not alot its all  you got, 22 00 days"  .I'd rather be spending my 22000  days on quality  than quantity of  junk. Apple    has lost its  biggest asset,  Steve Jobs  , and the lustre and the mania  and the fervor  of the followers is  crashing. It should because  in the end     Steve Jobs was no  genius, he was a shameless  marketer, a tyrant, a guy who even stole from his partner Wozniak,  and his arrogance   in self determining what the masses want is unravelling.     Tim Cook  will  be the new Mussolini  and his effigy  will be hung on  Wall  Street corners where hedge fund big boys and blind retail investors are about to be fleeced and deservedly so  for following the  actions of a messianic idiot like Jobs.

RIM  listened,  worked tirelessly to  build an entire   new operating system,  and now has  the best system  with the best security,  with   essential applications   PREACHING  PURPOSE RATHER THAN FRIVOLITY.
