    The Second Coming of Apple

    From the Wall Street Journal:

    The Second Coming of Apple
    December 20, 2004

    Apple Computer has been reborn -- and now it's on the verge of a renaissance.

    Yes, we know Apple's share of the PC market remains little more than a rounding error: According to market-research company International Data Corp., its share of PC shipments hovers around 2% in both the home and commercial sectors, with more than half the commercial numbers coming from educational sales. But we see a confluence of events that we think will substantially change some of those numbers, ushering in an Apple tidal wave that will remake the home PC landscape.

    Get ready folks! It's coming! Viva la Revolucion!
    HAVE A DAY.
    <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

                Yesterday Apple announced the piece of technology that would grant it a near monopoly on worldwide computer sales: An iPod that not only lets you listen to music and take pictures, but surf the internet too! Now reduced to only $5000 USD (or 5500 Euros, or 6000 pounds)!

                LOL APPLE WILL PWN MICROSOFT NOW LO%L PRAISE~!

                Imran, just because you dont use anything to surf the internet doesn't mean others won't. And at 5000, this is a steal

                This is REVOLUTIONARY! Apple and Linux will soon have combined markethsare of 101% Microsoft doesn't stand a chance!

                        Apple is surviving by selling consumer gadets like the Ipod. The trouble is consumers are notoriously fickle and as soon as they stop buying Ipods Apple loses nearly all of it's profits.

                            A lot of companies survive on consumer gadgets alone, though. Even mobile phones are gadgets these days.
