1. Google phone

When can I buy one? Who makes it? Why will it be better than the iPhone?

2. PC are better

Macs are rapidly gaining market share. Windows Vista was a disaster. I can see Apple with 20% market share over the next couple years. Certainly, PC's are here to stay, but Apple will grow faster than any PC maker.

3. Macs are for snobs

What does this have to do with investing.

Windows Vista was a disaster.

I was dealing with a new Windows Vista Premium system just last night... Does anyone know how to allow remote printing to a Vista system in a workgroup environment where passwords are NOT required? I couldn't find a local policy editor on the damn system, and mmc didn't have a snap-in. All I've seen so far is the ability to turn printer sharing on or off, and the sharing requires a local account AND password. My friends are setting this system up for their kids and want NO passwords on it. They've got 3 XP systems that they want to be able to have share the printer on this computer.

And please, no "buy an apple" or "upgrade to linux/XP" comments.

Okay, let’s forget about the third point (though I suspect a strong correlation of Prius owners to Mac users)

There will not be a significant shift to macs because computer-gear heads like cheap modular goods...

Macs are goofy... what is a person to do with an IMac or a Mac Cube?

Most computer-peeps like a wall of motherboards, cpus, heatsinks, and ram... not some small Mac store in the other city 100 miles north of Anytown USA with a limited inventory.
