Steve 'Jobs' isn't only his name, it also describes his skill set.

That's a lot to get excited over :D... apparently..

You can tell I am just excited about the thought of seeing him.
Had I truly seen him, it would have been over and that great outfit would have been stained.
:r

Maybe we should all invest in http://investing.businessweek.com/re...?ticker=KMB:US

Maker's of Kleenex

Prior to the release parties. :D

Maybe we should all just buy Apple stock instead.

Ahead of Steve Jobs' keynote address at the Worldwide Developers Conference, a BGC analyst initiates Apple [AAPL 250.94 -5.025 (-1.96%) ] Monday with a 'Buy' rating and a $350 price target.

I was actually thinking more like stock in Orville Redenbacher products for the next one of these threads.

Man I have said that over and over again.
Just wait to you pass the age of 50 to see how many times it adds up.

Not a bad gig.
To date, 50 million iPhones sold.
Compared to US population (while not valid as it is 50 million worldwide but just for the sake of conversation), that translates to 1 iPhone for every 6 Americans.
If that is not astonishing, what is?

Released just 3 years ago and a total of 50 million robotic fanboys and girls blindly following Steve Jobs like a Pied Piper. And then after taking the "love him 'cause he is God juice" that comes in the box with the phone, you actually believe it is a good product because you tell yourself so.

Frankly, heck, I am no longer a fan. I am now truly jealous I am not him.;)

Only if to be used on an Apple related thread.
After all, you wouldn't get to eat it if you intended to wait for some wonderful PC or Microsoft related news.:r

You're forgetting one key fact though.

50 million iPhones sold doesn't necessarily equate to 50 million currently in service ;)

Lots of people have upgraded to newer revisions.

As have nearly all purchasers of any cell phone that has multiple generations.

What's your point, Captain Obvious? :D

If I were Steve Jobs, I wouldn't give a rat's behind if they bought them as replacements or bought them to use them as suppositories and then show up in local ERs looking to have them removed.:r

50 million is still 50 million.

I give up :r















Actually no... I don't.... :D (sorry to get your hopes up)


He was comparing to 1 in 6 Americans thus generalizing a comparison between the amount of people walking around the US and the amount of iPhones in their hands (albeit he did clarify that the 50 mil is a worldwide tally)

Just thought it fair to point out that the number is skewed from that perspective :D

I stand corrected.

300,000,000 Americans divided by 50,000,000 iPhones = the analogous equivalent of imagining having soled 1 phone for every 6 Americans.

OK,
More fun later.
Have to do some shopping with wife.
Much more painful to do than this.

You should reread his statement. He was comparing the number SOLD with a population. His comparison holds, both in context and statistically. He didn't say that the number of UNIQUE PERSONS buying was 50M, just that 50M have been sold.

Don't go in to engineering, you'll get mauled at your first technical review. ;)

Well, duh...

Dis an Apple product, Apple users typically go apeshit.

Dis an Intel or Microsoft product, Intel and Microsoft users tend to just shrug and go about their business.
(with the exception of gamers having an AMD vs Intel debate, oy vey...)
