		<description>BUT: whats funny is that even if everything he said is true (it isn&#039;t) apple&#039;s stock/business plan/cult following is still better than just about every other company on the nasdaq.



everyone of you buys apple stock no mtter what you say, and if you aren&#039;t tell me, exactly how much money have you lost out on already??</description>

		<description>How about:



After a few months on the market Apple drops the price by $100.  Thousands of early adapters who willingly paid the higher price when it first came out whine that this is somehow &quot;unfair&quot; and demand that Apple refund the price difference to them.</description>

		<description>You didn&#039;t lift this section:



&quot;A minor, rarely occurring flaw in the device begins to be discussed in the Apple support forums. Whiny, artistic types post lengthy diatribes about how this terrible design flaw has made the device unusable and scarred them emotionally. Electronic petitions are created demanding that Apple replace the devices for free, plus pay for counseling to help traumatized users overcome their emotional distress.&quot;



We here at badconsultant have often observed the trauma in action - and are now pleased to offer our &quot;Apple Scarred Me Emotionally Self Perception Inventory&quot; (® 12th December, 2007) to anyone who would care to request a statement of work.



Nice post.</description>
