Personally I feel for Jobs. May he find the time and ability to deal with his health issues.

As for Apple - pfft. Its an over-rated company that the artsy crowd loves just because its "different". To its credit, it HAS been innovative at times. At least it had the sense to stop focusing on the PC world and instead move into mobile devices. Its innovation is much stronger in that market. It will continue to be an also ran in the PC world.

Yes, I know someone will yell about the Ipad/Ipad2. A web surfing, text editing really compact netbook running a funky OS isn't (and hasn't) made Apple a force in the PC market. If Apple wants to ever compete in that market (and they shouldn't), they are going to have to drop their proprietary mindset. It has hurt them in the mobile app category as well, and you would think that the lesson would have been learned from the years in the PC market.

Apple - overpriced junk that artists starve to own....
Makes no sense....
