in louisgray.com: Real Apple Fanboys Only Have Apple Watches on louisgray.com
So does "Real Apple Fanboys Only Have Apple Watches" mean:
1. The only people who have Apple watches are real Apple fanboys; or

2. The only watches that real Apple fanboys have are Apple watches; or

3. The only thing Apple fanboys have is Apple watches (that is, real Apple fanboys have no clothes, no girlfriends, no toast, no belly button lint, etc.).

in Apple and Markets Breaking Down on Investor in the Wilderness
To aardvark from hell:
Based on my 2 minutes of reading this column, this guy is a technical investor. As such, he probably doesn't care about things like who's running the business, or even what they make (other than to slot the company into a sector).

Zach Bass I am primarily a technical analyst, because my preferred trading style is swing trades. However, I also am adept at fundamental and quantitative analysis. But that's besides the point. If you look more closely at my site, you'll see that I focus on Apple, and that's not because I randomly chose it out of a hat, or because it's an interesting lab case. It's because I have a great deal of knowledge and experience in all things Apple, and from many different perspectives. These would include, marketing, sales, communications, engineering, and business development. I'm also a huge Apple customer. I've owned nearly every model since its introduction back in 1984, and currently have 7 macs running in my home. My wife, two children and I, all have iPhones. I am an Apple fan to the extreme.

in How you tell you’re dealing with Apple utility software | A View from Judi Sohn on A View from Judi Sohn
Me again. Thanks for responding to my comment.

What I want to make clear is that I think Time Machine works in the simple case, but that it wasn't designed or tested for the non-simple case. By non-simple, I mean if other backup programs are running, or you keep plugging or unplugging your external drive, or you have multiple partitions, or you have items on your Time Machine drive other than Time Machine data.

Sure, Time Machine should work in those cases, and if it doesn't Apple must fix it, or let those types of people know to stop using it. But if you have a three-way backup strategy (hehe - he said three-way), then you shouldn't use Time Machine. Apple should have told you not to use Time Machine.

Time Machine it not aimed at you, so you should decide to not use it. Time Machine should be more clear about its target audience - anyone who has a "backup strategy" should not use Time Machine.

I do agree that Apple should fix the bugs in Time Machine.

"...does not care about it’s customers.."
Should be:
...does not care about its customers...".

The possessive form of "it" is "its", not "it's".

in Book initiative update: I've put "Foucault's Pendulum" on hold on The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
Dude, take a whack at "The Island of the Day Before The Day After Yesterday", or whatever that other Eco book was. It reads like it was written by a mentally challenged person, or a foreigner.

in Stop bitching about the SDK program on The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
Steve, I didn't read your whole blog, but I have a long history of working with Apple and using Apple products (I won't mention the ton of money I've spent with you). I will soon submit my application to be an iPhone developer (the $99 kind). So please send me to the top of the pile, ummk?

in More raves for Vista on The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
If only there was a single source for software, where developers could submit their wares and a wise, all knowing, super-being could select and approve the appropriate ones. Then users, restricted to this single source, could relax, free and easy in their garden of pure ideology.

Oh, and only one hardware platform too.

In paragraph 3 of the Economist article, they use the phrase "small beer".
