Use NEW "Apple Store" App
Not to be confused with Apple App Store, to reserve iPhone 4....web reservation system is overwhelmed and unreliable.
Starbucks to offer FREE Wi-fi
At most stores....so does McDonalds already.....YEAH !
Safari 5
FEELS FASTER doing simple stuff, like Google Apps/email and Google Reader.....NICE
What Apple does NOT get...
Why take the HEAT for AT&T...end the exclusive relationship NOW...so that when WE customers HATE AT&T, we just switch to another carrier instead of BLAMING Apple
What AT&T does NOT get....
It's the TOP 1% of your customers who LEAD the way for everyone else....call them influencers, call them whatever, but now call them PISSED OFF at the loss of unlimited data to get tethering on their iPhones in the future.
Steve vs. Steve, ONE person can make a BIG difference...
Way back in 2000, Microsoft was valued at about $556 Billion and lead by the new CEO Steve Ballmer. Apple was worth just $16 Billion, and Steve Jobs had recently returned as CEO. Yet, about 10 years later, TODAY SPECIFICALLY, Apple closed at $222 Billion UP $206 Billion, and Microsoft closed at $219 Billion DOWN $337 Billion. Looking ahead to the NEXT 10 years, we will see MUCH more and faster technology change than the last 10 years. It should be fun.
It's Simple....Internet Everywhere
Google may well get there first with Android in your hand, Chrome on your desk, and Google TV in your living room, all connected to their Apps.
