In Apple on 23 June 2008 tagged Apple, microsoft with no comments

Business of Software Blog: “How likely is it that Apple buy Microsoft some time in the next 5 years? You’d probably assign a near-zero probability to this outcome. One in a million, or billion. It’d never happen.

What Would Apple Do

In Apple on 18 June 2008 with no comments

Roughly Drafted: “Would Jonathan Ive draw a complete blank on how to develop new designs? Would Tim Cook forget how to manage inventory? Would Phil Schiller start advertising like Microsoft?

Time To Build For Intel Only?

In Apple on 16 June 2008 with no comments
