[citation][nom]hoofhearted[/nom]I don't like how much control and credit Apple is getting as of late. Back in the day, Apple lost the PC war to Microsoft, just like Sony Betamax lost to the more open VHS. But today, things seem different. Sony won out with it's proprietary Blue Ray. And now Apple seems to be winning over Google with it's proprietary architecture. I think the reason things are topsey turvey is a flawed patent system and all the lawsuits flying around. If Obama can do one thing to save face over this debt fiasco, he should fix that.[/citation]
Well said amigo, my sentiments as well.
"Nintendo should aggressively make acquisitions or increase returns to its shareholders," said Ii, president of Tokyo-based Commons Asset Management Inc., which held 2,200 Nintendo shares as of February. "It’s management’s task to consider how to make use of the cash."
SCREW greedy investors complaining about a lack of iOS support:
1.) All investors are there to make money, if you're not going to hold it for the long term, then freaking sell it already and make your money on the way back up. Maybe buy some more, lower your average.
2.) Having worked for an Investor Relations firm, I can tell you firsthand there are a lot of fucking crazy people "investing". By "investing" i mean buying random stocks without any Due Diligence and bitching out the IR guy when the stock price falls / there is no "Press Release / Filing"
3.) Translating the above quote to english "Nintendo should make more money and hand out cash dividends to investors- like me; I really don't have any concept about the video game industry but I want to play Nintendo on my iPad- because I love steve jobs".
4.) I hate Apple - they don't encourage innovation or competition- they just want a monopoly on "the future of computers".
5.) If I ever see Steve Job's he's getting an egg to the face. Or maybe a water-bottle (justin bieber style). Why? Because I very much dislike powerful corporations which use their power as leverage to discourage advancements and a "laissez faire" type business model.
