Some of us saw this years ago when Apple produced the best computer, but priced it out of competition and allowed Microsoft to dominate with open machines. I don't like being locked into their closed society and a lot of other people feel the same way.
Yeah, no doubt they're riding high on the hog now, but without Jobs, they are going to start having to cater to their stockholders like all public companies do. Then see how long they're walking in tall cotton wiping their ass with the top leaves.

not to take away from your point about public companies, because it is certainly true in almost all cases, but it's almost all, not just all.

you have your thoughts, and that's fine, as I mentioned already, I am not an apple fan, so I have no internal rage pushing me to try to defend my thought that the company is just fine for the near future, and will likely come out with more innovative products over the next few years.
I agree with your original statement that things are cyclical, and eventually every company will fail, I just don't think Apple's time is that close yet.
