The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Apple is Now The Most Valuable Tech Company

Well.. I had expected that. It went from a small userbase community to the hype of the day with their ipods and then their ipads. It's not too odd that people decided to go and buy other apple products after they had success with these two. Even without Jobs the company seems to run well, so I wonder if they can keep it up much longer, without eventually losing popularity.

Good for Apple. I'm not surprised with all the I-phone, and I-pad popularity going on today.

*Never owned an apple product or know how to use one* :( Sorry guys. All my music is on about.. 65 cd's.. and I only use my cell phone to call or (rarely) text. And those little ear-buds that plug into the i-pod really hurt my ears.  I prefer over-the-ear headphones, personally.

I don't exactly know how much bigger Apple is going to grow. *shrugs*

Has anyone ever wondered WHY Apple has gotten so big?  It's simple.  It costs practically nothing to make an iPad yet they rip people off and sell it for five times what it's actually worth.  That's why despite having less than 10% of the PC market, they're more profitable than ANY other tech company.  And unfortunately products that are cheap to produce normally aren't very good quality.  Apple's quality has gone down the toilet in recent years and it's only going to get worse over time.  Mark my words.
