Dumbest Quote EVER About a Business (Apple, in this case)

dni — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:13:55 +0000

This in a New York Times article today called Apple Races to Keep Ahead of Rivals:

“If they start making products people don’t want, and start losing users, then Apple’s strategy will run into problems,” said Benjamin Reitzes, an analyst at Barclays Capital. “If they continue to have an aura where their products are seen as defining the marketplace, they are going to be fine.

Has there ever been a business whose strategy was to “start making products people don’t want, and start losing users” ?

Why in the world did they quote that clown?

MacMice The Mouse. I love this product. Let me say it again: “I Love This Mouse”. I bought one about a year and a half ago. It crapped out fairly soon, but the folks at DVForge sent me a new one instantly – no questions asked and they were very nice about the whole thing. It has worked fine ever since. I have tried the Apple Mighty Mouse. This one is better. Feels better. Works better. They simply got it right. The overall feel is that of an Apple Pro mouse, but the scroll-wheel/middle button is a better proportion for the human finger.

There has been some flap on MacSlash about the guy who owns/owned the company. I could care less. Let me say it again: “I Love This Mouse”.

They now seem to be about 1/2 the price they were when I first bought…
