On HN and in San Fransisco bay, I'm sure. The rest of the world is choosing Android, as seen in all sales-figures reported this year.

Needless to say, "the rest of the world" is much bigger than San Francisco. Apple has already peaked.

YES DEFINITELY LETS HAVE THIS "DEBATE"

I just wanted to make a point about comparing P/E ratios. You know, from my Macbook.

Not anymore. Andoid phones and tablets are way ahead of what Apple is offering, spec-wise. Android OS is even further ahead of iOS, which has been a stale grid of icons for what, almost a decade now.

I agree that Apple used to be on the cutting edge of technology and innovation. Now they are desperately trying to catch up with the competition, and fail every time. They still do have good sales, but that won't last.
