Amazing all the debris Apple is taking with it. At least the economy is doing well. So they tell us.

Does anyone really think that Apple’s stock would have tumbled this much if Steve Jobs were still alive and healthy!?!

I own an iPad mini, and it’s equal to the greatest device I’ve ever owned. And this from a guy who has been a gadget freak for forty years.

With the iPad mini, Apple fulfilled a desire I had for nearly thirty years. And what’s more, it fulfilled it by going farther than my wildest dreams to provide it.

The only other device that even comes close is my iPhone5, which is an absolute electronic miracle.

......the article continues

Experts expect this to change for the better when the US Govt begins providing homeless and welfare recipients the basic human right of a "mini-pad" and free wifi to accompany.

Or maybe the more obvious innovations have already been made and the next ones are harder to identify.

Wow, Windows 8 is so hated it’s even killing Apple! /s

Remember, Apple consistently beats their own guidance each quarter. The "consensus estimates" are hyper-aggressive targets that the Apple stock is then punished for missing, despite not being projected by Apple itself. after last quarter's record-setting profits, the stock price dropped because those results, while well over guidance, didn't meet the rosy sky scenario that "analysts" put out there.

They're either idiots who just don't know any better, or crooks trying to manipulate stock prices so they can make money for themselves, with Apple just being the most high-profile of stocks they're doing this to. I tend to suspect the latter.

This has to be the most utter collapse of a company I have ever seen. Another article stated that they only sold 4 million iPhones last quarter. Has anybody ever seen a performance worse that that? All those at Apple should hang their heads in shame at this abysmal performance. They should rend their clothing before going into the Starbucks this morning for their lattes so that we can see who they are and stay the heck away from them.
