Maybe. But I sense a spreading unease with Apple. The articles I sent here were in that vein. Another, today, questions how Apple is spending all the billions it's putting into R&D. For a company that makes just a few consumer products, ten billion dollars looks like overkill. Or waste. At the same time, it's far less percentage-wise than Facebook spends on R&D. So it's worries at both ends. That is to say, ten billion dollars feels like too much for Macs and iDevices and too little for anything genuinely ambitious.
My gripes with the Tim Cook Apple have been for quite a while now pretty much along the "picky" lines of those of the writer of the howtogeek article. It's not just he, and it's not just the Wall Street Journal and Marketwatch and an editorial writer or three. The American media really want to love Apple, but they're coming up empty. I'd not be at all surprised if Tim Cook leaves before long.
