Now Steve Jobs is dead.......

[jimslip]

I am wondering if now that Steve Jobs has died will Apple fall into the abyss of wanton greed? I am already seeing worrying signs, for example it would appear that you can produce an ad for a total scam and keep it on App Store for months raking in cash, even when IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SCAM! Those wiith Ipads try searching for : Flash Video Exposer at ?6.99 and then read the reviews! Scores of people must have complained but it remains up!

Now the latest con that has appeared is something that I thought had died out in the 1970's, the "SOUNDS LIKE COMPILATION ALBUM" This is how the scam works, in ITunes, you search for say, Tamla Motown and you get a load of albums including 1 or 2 that say The Greatest Hits of Motown, naturally you presume they are a compilation of the original tunes and you don't bother to check and then quel surprise all the tracks are crap renditions by studio artists and ITunes just tells you to piss off if you complain!

Is this the beginning of the end? It wouldn't be the first time a company booms, peaks and then ultimately fails.

Lets hope this is the case with Tesco, you know that uncontrolable monster that buys up land that houses could be built on, Then builds garish flat pack monsterous sheds and gips people who are thick into thinking they are cheap.

Didn't you listen to the preview to ensure it was the right track?

Actually, I did have a quick listen and I thought, "Wow these have been digitally re-mastered, they sound really clean, the drums sound like drums and not dustbins!" Then I bought the album and put it on my stereo ansd thought, "No, they sound shit".

I'm sure the whole Apple Coporation are trembelling in their shoes because a porn director/actor from the UK thinks they are doomed for failure. You should email them your concern, bro.

That's the problem, I am sure they don't give a flying fuck what I or anyone else thinks and there lies the seeds of a company's ultimate destruction. Like Tesco's, they didnt give a flying fuck a few years ago when I complained to them that all their fruit and veg was shit. They store it cold, so it never ripens and tastes shit. I stopped shopping there, maybe thousands of others did to for various reasons. Waitrose on the other hand is booming.
Steve Jobs was a guiding light, remove him and all you've got is a company full of greedy suits looking for the next buck!
I hope I'm wrong since my house is full of Apple equipment! Not removing dud/ scam Apps from their App Store, sews the seeds of doubt and mistrust in the minds of Apple fans.

The difference being Apple is loved worldwide by squillions already
Hard to see the ipad,ipod & mac being dropped by the loyalists

When they release their next product will tell wether their still a leader in innovation.Given Jobs wasnt the only brilliant mind at Apple hard to see
their demise anytime soon.

To be fair the original artists tag is abused across multiple fronts

Live tours where the name belongs to 1 former band member who surrounds himself with handpicked musos.Band in name only,not in spirit.

I once bought a remastered dvd compilation of the 50s songs for my father and he commented it sounded like fake shit.One bitten twice shy.

Apple have already fallen from grace with FCP10 I hear. This looks like where the cracks appear.

Over confidence in their consumers may be their undoing.

They should fear the one complaint (whether he be a porn director or a burger flipper at Mickey Deez) Watch their shares come crashing down as everyone suddenly goes Android. Its known to happen.

Look at Nokia

You got to work hard to keep your customers loyal. No one likes a slacker. Thats what competition is for. to sort the wheat from the chaff. Now Steve Jobs is gone the company better buck up its ideas if they want to maintain their market space so theyd better start giving a fuck.

As it is I'm not seeing that much in difference between apple and android phones these days
