    Part of your investing decisions involves "brainwashed fan boys and girls". I have already asked you to expand on this as I'm quite concerned re the brainwashing.

    Also, you haven't shed any light on the Supermachine or the profit share?

    Do you think I should put my money into Google as they have the "Android Google CLOUD lock" but don't really have much in the way of hardware. Or do you recommend I put my money into Samsung who have the hardware, but really fall down in software and services?

    pknz: it's easy for me . Apple and Android/Google are in a lock re: their respective market share for total global sales:

    Aapple 10% and Android/Google 35%

    ...at this stage this lock is quite steady and each party tries to break it. So, I think Apple at this stage has only it's propaganda machine at his disposal not the products that dominate the future

    kind regards

    pknz:

    fan boys_girls/brainwash:Apple states: "the 4" screen is the ideal size"
    This is despite the fact that 90% of the market did not think so. Apple never had a 4" display prior to the 5 and will have larger screens moving forward
    Moving forward, Apple now needs to re-educate the fan boys_girls into thinking larger screens are the way to go

    kind regards

    Are you able to provide some reputable sources that references this brainwashing scheme?

    pknz:

    ... am trying to follow up on your requests but it takes some time to sort out sources as a lot of that stuff is in my head. But first things first:

    IOS8 is unreleased yes but announced at Apples WWDC a couple of weeks ago. So not all but the majority of developments are public property.
    If you care to read into it, you will maybe see that it's a HUGE catch-up exercise of things, android/Google users enjoyed for years

    kind regards

    I have no doubt a lot of it is in your head.

    1. That is a broken link.
    2. You must have missed my underlined word above. I'll repeat it and bold it for you here: reputable.

    On January 21, 2010 Fool.com posted an article: "The Worst Stocks for 2010: Apple." AAPL closed Jan 21, 2010 trading at 208.07. AAPL closed 2010 at 320.56.

    Incorrect. It turned into "useless blah, blah" at your first mention of brainwashing.

    ...there has been an issue with the use of the word 'brainwash'
    The use in the context:
    -despite market offerings in mobile technology, far more advanced in most aspects than aapl-products
    ... in the writers opinion, buying an aapl-products is irrational behavior
    In the writers opinion, there can be only 2 reasons for such irrational behavior
    -aapl fan-boys_girls
    -brainwashed (through aapl advertising for example)

    kind regards
