All just a part of the silly Wall Street Schmuck blitz before Q1 
earnings showing that Apple's actually got a solid business and yet 
again exceeding their own expectations...

Not only this, but also the rehash of the smae news (Apple rumourred to
have reduced orders for materials used to build iphone 5) causes the
share price to five because the idiot Wall Street Casino Analysts see
this as another sign of doom (even though that sign was already factored
into the share price , and they conveniently forget that Apple may
simply have found another supplier of LCDs to eplace Samsung, or that it
is ramping up production of the 5S so it is ramping down orders for the 5).

Remember that "Triple Witching Hour" is this Friday and the Manipulators are
out of the woodwork doing everything in their power to drive it lower so
they can profit on their positions...

Yep. Rather, rinse, repeat. Same old shit, different year.

Actually, they're using Lucky Goldstar, Sharp and Japan Display 
LCD's,"bottom of the barrel" manufacturers.

You should check your facts before shooting off your mouth, Fangurl.

I find it all preposterous that teens would have any input to the 
advance of technology and its success with the world at large.  On the 
other hand cool = new and passe = old.  In this way tradition, musical 
styles, acting, politics, photography, fiction, writing, communication 
and clothing is all "bad" after it reaches a certain age or shelf-time.

I don't think teens shape it, but convincing folks that last year's 
model is passe is the job of any marketing department. Frequently they 
are successful. So much so that it is practically a hallmark of 
American society.  Tearing down old but beautiful and well-designed 
buildings to put up blocks of crap was a social necessity in the 60's.  
In the 90's retro-fitting and rennovation became de rigueur.

Go figure.

True, that. And we long-time Mac users have certainly seen worse days 
than this.

Not to linger too long on memories of trench warfare, but I 
periodically recall when one weekend a month was consumed by working my 
way through some convoluted something-or-other somewhere in the middle 
of OS 8.

These pampered babies today with their cellphones and their tiny waists 
and their legal pot--they don't know from hardship!

Teens gobble up new technology first. Senior citizens last.

Teens also get their parents to pay for mobile services which they abuse
as much as possible so they are good customers for mobile carriers since
they want monthly plans with all the bells and whistles.
(same apply to young adults at university etc).

The Samsung Galaxy S3 commercial that was aired about the same time as
the iphone5 launch played on this, with the young guy having a galaxy S3
and not wanting to come back to iphone, and keeping a spot FOR HIS
PARENTS. (sending the message that the iphone was now for old people.)

There is a similar phenomena for facebook where teens quickly adopted
it, but now that their parents are getting on facebook too, facebook is
no longer so interesting to teens.


Teenagers are very big drivers for mobile tech. They don't bother using
their voice anymore, they will text their friends, even f the friends
are next to them.

No shit. While my grandfather does show signs of aging, he consistently 
amazes me regarding how fast he picks things up I show him on his 
computer or things he reads and learns all by himself - he's like a 
sponge. I can only hope I'm as mentally capable when I am over 80. : )

Also, teens are absurdly stupid almost 100% of their existence. End of 
story.

They stop being stupid when they turn 20, and are no longer teens?

Nah. Some people grow up to be absurdly stupid their entire lives. : )

That's called perpetual adolescence. Extreme narcissism is just one 
attribute of it. Another is an inability or unwillingness to consider 
the consequences of one's action before they do it.

Well, I'll not claim to be perfect in any regard, much less this one. 
Ask my wife and she will tell you I am a big kid at heart. And I guess, 
being human, we are all adolescent at some time or another, in one way 
or another.

And some seem to have "vision" problems.
