There's a good article in today's Daily Mail 4th Jan on page 25 about the state of Apple. It should be read. Comments anyone?

Is there an online page where we could read this?
Without paying of course
BD's quote spd34 sounds about right also. Apple has changed, and not for the better in many ways.
They should not always chase the highest prices even though they can. That just smacks of greed, they're already rich. Give a bit back please/

The article: I didn't realise it had become like this. I have not been closely following Apple's progress for a long time because I don't need the latest gadgets, but this does seem a bad way to go for Apple. I stopped watching WWDC a few years ago. I don't suppose Steve would have approved with what's happening here now. I may need a new MacBook Pro! My trackpad hasn't worked for ages, I replaced it with a new one from China but it's still dead as a dodo trackpad-wise. I need a replacement 15-inch, Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, any offers? Or maybe get someone to fix it for me

Ah, your true colours, this is supposed to be a forum about all Mac/computer related posts.Who metioned serious? I refuse to make it into a political thread. I posted a GOOD ARTICLE in the wonderful DAILY MAIL about something I thought our people might find interesting. We live in the 21st century now, and things change and you have to change with them (you obviously don't). Currently the DAILY MAIL is number two in circulation numbers the Sun?????? being number one. A lot of people agree with what is printed or they would't read it. The Mail actually did an anti Mosley story about mid 2018 but you woun't have seen it. I'm a proud conservative, not impressed with the silly sods that are supposed to be your MPs. But soooooo much better than the Momentum Mob. Thank god I live in France. Please stick to the thread. MB. It would be good if we knew your reading RAG. Last post, get a life son.
