“Fruit” machines

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

“Fruit” machines

Post by Greynomad »

Just noted on NEWS24 crawler that Apple has become the first company in history to reach a market value of a TRILLION DOLLARS.
Note: it’s not Microsoft, authors of Windoze.

That's because MS don't rip you off as much as Apple does.

I guess pinching technology, getting equipment built in China yet selling it at a price that manufactured in Australia would still turn a decent profit and derating the performance of older models to improve the sales of the latest models actually makes a lot of money ........ I wonder what the Apple Corporation would do if they got hit with the "Monopoly" name tag and dragged through the courts ......
