Rush Limbaugh is an anomaly...or is he?

He's in the RDF of Apple...;) On Friday, he was interrupted a few times by Snerdley talking about iTunes crashing - and Rush just said "well restart it". I think it happened 3 times in the course of an hour... I think he's blinded by just how unstable much of the Apple world really is - but he likes his shiny toys! :)

He isn’t very bright when it comes to mathematics or basic scientific concepts.

Correct. I cringe every time I hear him try to speak on either subject - including environmental issues. He's masterful on political diatribes and positioning and reading the populace, but on math and science - he's woefully lacking.

I have been saying for months that I predict MS will be number one in cell phone operating systems by the time windows phone 8 is released.

People forget that Symbian is still the number one mobile OS in the world (mobile OS for ALL mobile devices - phones and tablets). And Symbian was basically Nokia alone. Microsoft has a HUGE platform to work from - the Nokia platform. Android has climbed really well to capture second place, pushing iOS down to 3rd. Microsoft has a real shot at bouncing up to at least the Android level, if not beyond and pushing into Symbian dominance.

They'll be a big force and a major player in the phone space, just based upon their partnership with Nokia alone. Symbian is 55% of the Asian mobile OS market; it's 39% of China and 68% of India. Capture just those two markets and Microsoft is over 20% for the world - and ahead of iOS.

symbian is a dead man walking. They already fired all the employees at symbian...at least that’s what I heard. So no more symbian releases.
