I am a former-Apple-employee-turned-university marketing professor. I, too, am very happy to see Apple's success. It is such a curious thing why there are so many "yeah-buts" out there when it comes to Apple's success. But this has been true throughout the company's mercurial history. Frankly, it (the doubters) is part of the brand's DNA. The doubters help give Apple its edge. I hope the company never loses that "chip on the shoulder" which forces it to work harder. If there were no Apple, work for many of us would not be merely as fun that's for certain... Love your site, btw. Excellent stuff. Gambatte! Garr Greetings from Japan!
