Actually, Blackberry just thought they knew what the customers would need. Apple actually know what the customers would want.
and mcdonalds sold 100 million hamburgers over the same weekend. if you're trying to impress me, apple, you've failed.
I am sure Tim Cook is walking back to his office now, hands in pockets, head held low, shoulders slumped, and wondering what he can do to impress the "Hamburger Lady" if 9 million iPhones won't do it.
Apple hasn't released data on the number of iPhone 5C units it presold in the device's first 24 hours of availability—a first for the iPhone since 2009. Why is that?
Perhaps they are waiting to post the results when the iPhone 5S gets its first 24 hours of sales? After all, releasing two new phone models is a first for the iPhone since . . . forever.
Or is it like the Babel fish in HHG? Proof of the opposite?
Quote:
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and therefore, by your own arguments,
you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

What is that "sizzle"? cuz there ain't no "steak".
Bullshit. Trust is built by delivering on commitments, not by taking on responsibilities that you don't have the skill/desire to take on, and *certainly* doesn't require acting as upper management's hired thug as you seem to insinuate. We *need* leaders, but not everyone needs to take that role.
Yes, the hardware *was* asking for it
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
