gbooker's Journal: Why pick on Apple

I just finished reading another article from Dvorak. Why is it that people like him think that they have to pick on Apple? He was criticizing them for keeping with the same ol Mac. I guess that Apple is the only company to look for in innovation in these days, but if you have an idea that you think that computer companies should do, then tell them, and if they don't do it, tell someone else to do it until some one does. Likely they will not do it because you have to show them that their is profit in it.

Speaking of which, I believe that is the primary reason why Apple is such an innovator. They have to in order to compete with the Wintel world. Grated, there are many die hard fans out there that will likely keep them afloat in tough times (I happen to be one), but that is not enough to run a business off of. They have to position themselves such that they can have the chance of staying alive. Now, would Apple continue to innovate if they were in MS's position? Who knows, and I am afraid we will never have the chance to find out.

Oh well, I have finished enough of a rant for one day. I just figured that since I am becoming more active on Slashdot, there is a chance that someone might actually read this. Small one, but it is still there.
