MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

That's what happens when you do a little too much knee-jerk reaction reporting without looking deeper into the story.

So much for The Osborne Effect huh?

who are these four men on horses in my front yard?

People that still use a VCR should not do a survey on any company or product.

Them be strong words.........

Then again... he was one of the first, if not the first person to break the news of the Intel switch.

They guy has interesting views though, even if they have been off target many times before. His disapointment with Windows Vista has been an honest and intriguing read.

Mike, those are equiphiles. Watch what they do with the horses.

Is this guy related in any way to the former Iraqi Minister of Information?

For GODS sake MDN stop placing the shit from this guy on your site!

He is the worlds biggest wanker and doesn't deserve the publicity. it makes him feel good, and only encourages him to write more shit to enrage us all.

The sad part is some other wanker pays him to BAIT us!

We must stop and not post his 'SHITE'.

I can write the crap he writes, as could any MDN watcher, so if you need the occasional pugnacious wanker to give everyone the shits and spread the bullshit, we can do that amongst ourselves!!!!

Maybe we should start a Mac debunk shopper!

Just to see what the results are and how many people react to false info!

Jesus I might have started something there, Eh!!!!

MAYBE IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING!!!!!!

Its good to know that developmentally challenged people like Enderle can function at such a high level....

But please don't click on the link to his site. Thank you.

The iPod is carrying the company? While I agree it's getting close--and December may be the quarter where it changes, Selling Macs makes Apple more money than selling iPods.

Apple had revenues of about 1.5 billion--43% of the total revenue--from Macs last quarter. The iPod revenue came in at 1.1 billion--about 31%.

Also, if you take the iPod and add in "Other Music Products", whatever they might be (Yes, I know iTMS is one, but is Airport Express?), Apple's "Music Products" come to 1.3 billion. If you include Apple Software and Peripherals, the Mac realm comes to just shy of 2.2 billion. If we apply our percentages again, that means that iPod & Related amount to 37% and Mac & Related amount to 63%.

So, at least financially, the iPod is not carrying the company. Mindshare may be another story...

What's a VCR?

Paul Thurrott used to be The World's Biggest Wanker but he has lost that title.

The 'Microsoft wrote the first Mac OS' announcement really put Rob Enderlie over the top and clinched him the title.

Way to go Rob, you Wanker.



MW: indeed

Checkout the end of his column. He is touting how cool his painted tower is.

It is good for a nice laugh from a person that supposedly has his finger on the pulse of the industry.

dare anyone to do a Google Image Search (with Safe search off) for equiphile ...

/my eyes!!!!!!!
//Sum Jung Gai: you and me, in the parking lot, 5pm. You're f'ing dead!

No-one can deny that the iPod has given Apple more value. As Peter pointed out the iPod has increased revenue by 33 %. It's impact on profits maybe more significant as well as increasing the visibility for Apple's other products.

If Apple were a six cyclinder engine, then I would guess that they are currently firing on 4 cylinders. What's missing. Probably faster laptops and home entertainment device (aka mac mini with PVR capabilities). If the Intel switch works well and Apple can meet demand, who knows what Apple can acheieve next year. Good time to hold stock.

It's really amusing to hear Enderle say "I'm no psychic", since he has so much in common with them:

-- Both are con artists, trying to make you believe they know something they don't.
-- Both take clients money to tell them what they want to hear.
-- Both spew out loads of nonsense "predictions", confident that you'll forget most of them soon after you paid for them.
-- Both proudly point out every prediction they get right (by sheer luck), while paying no mind to the many many more predictions that didn't even come close.

So Enderle doesn't give himself enough credit. He is the consumate psychic! He should have his own late night TV show, "The Corporate Psychic". He could do cold readings of financial analysts. "I sense you're worried about a stock. Does its symbol begin with M?"

note: if you want to tout having high traffic to your website, simply deem yourself as 'principal analyst' of <insert your last name here> group. Remember to add your wife to the list as well. Then write ridiculous articles without knowing what your talking about.

Lets talk about an OS we dont know about.
Lets review products that we havent seen/touched yet.

This guys is a complete and total idiot - hands down.

MDN: 'poor' as in the quality of anything this baffoon writes.

Enderle is a turd.

The guy does have a sense of humour though. He baits you and knows it and if you followed the links it's clear he is laughing at you.

Some of Thurrott's comments are valid too.

"He baits you and knows it and if you followed the links it's clear he is laughing at you."

He is a Master Baiter.

But please don't give him any encouragement by falling for his Mastorbatory BS

Every company in the headline of Enderlie's piece is in direct competition with Microsoft.

Microsoft is not in the headline but it certainly could be.

Microsoft is the only major company that would benefit if all companies in the headline fade badly.

What company do you think Enderlie is consulting for this month?

oh, big one, oh it's so bigigigi

my name is enDERL

it's coming OUTTTTT

Have no fear Dogfriend, I do not fall for Enderle's vagrancies or even vagaries, I know the Mac way is lush and beautiful. XP reminds me of the GDR without the queue's for Lard.

I'm glad Enderle isn't a financial advisor.... (right? please tell me he isn't!).

I hope he doesn't buy shares based on his ANALyses

Enderle: "And Paris Hilton looks ever sexyer!!!! Shaw-Wing!!! my little Rob."

Enderle is a dumbass jerk who changes position like a ho just got paid by M$!!! The only position he never change is on Paris Hilton!!!!

That's such an enlightened commentary. More, please.

Enderle, "I'm no psychic..."

Yeah. No kidding. He doesn't even know what happened in the past, let alone the future!

Oh, and evetommy, I think you're confusing Enderle with Paul Thurrott, who seems to be very disappointed in Windows Vista, and is actually starting to get a clue about the brilliance of Apple. I don't think Comical Rob E. will ever get there.

It's... It's ... COMING ... OUT ... !!!
It's COMING OUT!!!
My turd!!!

I am enDERLL

Hey Enderle is ALWAYS good for a laugh. I would follow his links, but I need to get a fire extinguisher for my XBox.

My poo, my poo is SOO BIGGG
IT'S HURTING ME!!!
I AM enDERL!!!

What is this?

Another low point in the existence of the internet. Great. Thanks.

evetommy sounds like he may be enderle himself.

It's not that Enderle get's things so wrong. It's that he is initially so certain that he is right.

Nate says: "note: if you want to tout having high traffic to your website, simply deem yourself as 'principal analyst' of <insert your last name here> group. Remember to add your wife to the list as well. Then write ridiculous articles without knowing what your talking about."

I would only add "make sure you mention Apple, so that MDN will link to it and drive your site numbers".

DaVinci is 100% correct - MDN needs to STOP LINKING TO THIS GUY. Report, reproduce, and leave it at that. They're no less hypocritical than he is if they insist on acting as his publicity agent.

I wish to compalin about the earlier comparison between myself and Mr Enderle

I for one, have substance and consistency!

He's too incontinentsy. MW: enough!

It always amazes me that large national media sources quote Enderle for tech articles and news stories. He is so far off so often that I can't fathom how he still gets work.

We should take bets as to when he will start spewing BS about Apple again. I say within a month.

No bet.

Putting it differently, "Even a broken clock gives the correct time twice a day."
