发帖数: 38600 | 3 Intel did some shady business dealings to compete with AMD resulting in AMD
losing significant market share back in the 90s. The settlement Intel paid
AMD was large ($1.25B), but was a pittance compared to the lost revenue AMD
realized. |

We all know this. Couple that with the desperation Tim has knowing he has
nothing new on the drawing board other than a wifi connected smart butt-plug
and you're ripe for technology theft.
More and more people intentionally buy Apple products 2 or 3 generations
down to avoid the shiny object across the road mark up and the horrendous
price of new ishit. When you go into an ATT store to connect one of the damn
things up they have merchandise on the wall that is easily 10 times the
price that you can buy it elsewhere and you have to sit for their ridiculous
Direct TV pitch that will leave you with price increases every 3 months for
the length of the contract.
The up side is incredible innovation, absent that the downside is massive
mark downs as everyone has the same product. Right now the down side is
following Tim around like the grim reaper. |
