Well I heard Apple is doomed because they're in the acquisition business
again (Beats), and thus apparently fresh out of internal creativity.
Doomed they say! DOOOOOOMMMED!

Apple? Apple who?   Applejack? Big Apple? Crabapple?

Oh, you must mean that tiny startup Apple Computer! Nah, some Windows 
guys, and they should know, told me Apple went out of business in 1983.

You misheard. Apple buying Beats with their over-powerful base, what
was really said was "Apple is boomed they say, BOOOOMMMED!"  ;-)

Chicken Little?

That's what I had for dinner.

I'm sure geeks may feel that way, but Apple is in the mainstream now, and
mainstream, ordinary users don't need to see new hardware every six months. Or
even new software, for that matter.

I just wish the IT industry were as stable as many other industries. It's fun
when you work with computers for the sake of working with computers, but not
when you use computers purely as tools, and you still have a life outside the
computer world.

That screaming is from "Wall Street analysts" and tech writers for
magazines, newspapers, and web sites.  Geeks and ordinary users don't
care all that much.

Can we go back to calling Apple "beleaguered" again?

I really miss reading that!

Even better...  I found the "Apple Death Knell" counter... an oldie, but 
a goodie.

http://www.macobserver.com/article/2002/10/29.5.shtml

"It happens every few weeks: Someone new jumps on the bandwagon loudly 
proclaiming that Apple will soon be dead. It's been happening since the 
early 1980s, and still Apple, and its doom sayers, keep chugging along. 
We decided that it would be interesting to collect these stories, 
prognostications, predictions, and premature eulogies in a sort of 
testimonial of buffoonery, and we are calling it The Apple Death Knell 
Counter.
We shall keep a running total of the number of times that Apple has been 
declared dead or dying, with links to each one (whenever possible), the 
date it was published, and the person who so blithely set upon the path 
of being utterly wrong. With luck, we'll eventually get back to the 
primordial Death Knell, whose peals have rung on long past their normal 
life spans."
