1. Hollywood will continue to have a rough summer, and rough year if they continually churn out terrible movies. Anyone notice the increase in the number of sequels (transformers) and unoriginal, done before movies (footloose) that continue to come out. The push for 3D just made it worse since the studios want you to pay for the 3D technology but they don’t want to pay what it takes to shoot the movies correctly. I’ll stick to renting for now.

4. Apple doesn’t care nearly as much about who has the biggest market share. What they DO care about is profit per unit sold, and they are killing everyone on that metric. I would gladly sell you one phone and make the same profit that motorola makes on 200 phones.
