yeah i mean like it's never happened that explosive short-term growth is ultimately unsustainable and having a blase attitude toward internal security results in poor public perception when your competitors are able to freely copy and improve your designs

i mean why would anybody be more concerned with sustainable, long-term growth and having a competitive advantage???

I can't believe apple's management has dropped the ball like this selling the most profitable consumer product in history and reaching 3/4 of a trillion dollars in market capitalization their days are surely short
the tendency of tech "analysts" to treat apple as if all their current success is some sort of unsustainable fluke that will surely come crashing down any moment is always funny. sure theyve amassed a quarter-trillion dollars of cash on hand but its only because of sheeple and marketing sleight-of-hand, and the slightest breeze or tremor will see the whole thing collapse like the house of cards it really is

meanwhile google sends airplanes crashing into the ground left and right (phoneblocks, motorola, boston dynamics, nest, verity, glass, waymo, etc etc) but they remain a shining beacon of a tech company doing everything right

apple still doesn't use nvidia chips to this day because they leaked a product they were providing to apple and steve burned their business relationship to the ground

but the last macbook with an nvidia was the 2013 retina 15 with a gt 750m

its because techwatchers and investors are idiot children who see only shiny baubles. apple is actually run like a business and makes decisions like a traditional business and therefore cant be good and successful because thats not how tech companies are supposed to act. half of microsofts problem is theyre trying to act more like these trendy startups instead of operating as a business.

these days, it seems like apple's only expansion goal is to lobby congress to repatriate their overseas money so they can issue dividends to shareholders or some poo poo

they even praised the tax cut draft with a $2/4T accounting error

eh, i did security at a big concert venue in high school and at least phish fans never got violent, even if they tried way too hard to get you to do drugs with them. dave matthews band fans are horrible because it's all college girls and then college boys trying to gently caress the college girls and as they get drunker and closer to the realization that the girls don't want to gently caress them, they get violent

The idiocy that is "Fluffhead" is astounding and I am so glad that one episode ended on it because the lyrics make the song sound so amazingly stupid.
