Read today that the SEC may investigate Apple for not disclosing Steve Jobs illness properly

This is the problem if Steve is sicker than he is letting on.......Apple are up s**t creek without a paddle, admit he has some nasty and potentially terminal....bam Apple stock takes a nosedive.

SEC finds out Apple knew what was wrong with Jobs and lied to the public to maintain their stock price....lots of trouble there.

All in all its not a good situation and I sense much more is up with Steve than a "hormone imbalance" its too vague and implausible, his pallor says more something much more serious, especially given pancreatic cancer.

Dont want to say it, but I think its back, and sadly its all too common with pancreatic cancer.

Surprising, is it not, that when the Mac is so superior to the PC, PC sales outstrip Macs tenfold and have done so for decades? Everyone's out of step except for IDBI.

:lol:

I wonder what happens if the majority of the population are unemployed for a long time, how long before we end up like zimbabwe?

Would someone foreclose on Britain? (the thought of seeing a For Sale / Let sign on Buckingham Palace, and the palace of Westminister amuses me greatly, as well as the chance to see some minor royals begging on a corner somewhere)

Though its what happens when most stuff gets bought on credit, credit stops, economy halts :-S

Morris 1000's also outstripped the sales of Rolls Royce.

I really do hope that this country does not go down the same road as the USA where everything is measured in Dollars or Pounds Sterling.

lol Stoday...AND the king pin on Morris 1000 used to fall out and the front wheel would fall of as you were driving along, they didn't on a Rolls. True a Rolls only did 5 mpg and a Morris 1,000 mpg :lol:

Problem with that analogy is that PC hardware is better than macs at the same price bracket. The only difference being macs look better, depending on what you want.

Software wise you could liken windoze to the morris 1000, and osx to the rolls, but linux could be likened to an amalgamation of a Toyota truck - as featured on top gear twice... unbreakable - and an Aston Martin.
