Just the observations of an old guy, but one who has been watching and working with Apple since 1978…<\/p>\n
FCP-X launch is a disaster.<\/p>\n
iCloud reception is luke-warm; hostile in some cases.<\/p>\n
Android is a serious contender.<\/p>\n
Lion dumbs down the OS.<\/p>\n
Apple reduces iAd rates as advertisers flee.<\/p>\n
Apples loses “App Store” tm… (maybe)<\/p>\n
Apple is “negotiating” with Lodsys.<\/p>\n
Google and Amazon have lockers that didn’t cost them a dime to the RIAA (et al.)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We know what you want better than you do.” \u00a0The first sign of problems just around the corner is when you start believing your own PR.<\/p>\n
We’ll see how Lion pans out, but if it gets the luke-warm response I expect, I’ll be seriously considering selling my stock. $358 today (7\/7\/11)… either I”ll be eating crow, or sadly correct… give it a few months.<\/p>\n
Honestly, after nearly 65 years on earth, and paying attention all the time, \u00a0it’s beginning to look like there’s some tarnish around the edges.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hope I’m wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
