A trusted Verizon employee has just confirmed to TechCrunch that the carrier is having an all-staff vacation blackout from the dates of Friday, September 21 to September 30. You know what that means, right?

I'll never understand the excitement over new phones.
So the iPhone 5 costs more than my mortgage payment and it does 3 more unique things than the iPhone 3GS. Big fricking deal. You people are dumb for going out and buying this shite as soon as they come out.

I wouldn't say that
Apple has them licked in the smart phone and tablet market
Microsoft still owns the business world and will continue to own it

How am I a Scrooge? It's just a phone. It does nothing interesting and nothing worth more than the 3GS that is worth dropping $500 for......it's not practical.
It's pretty ridiculous.
But Apple has found they can make their money off of stupid people, so I applaud them that they found their money.

No shit
I'm just saying it's not like Microsoft is fricked
They'll continue to be a successful business. Apple can not and will not be able to put them out of business in the near future.

If I was a betting man, I'd say that as of this day, Microsoft is probably a better long term investment.
Apple has had a great ride and that shouldn't go without praise. But I'm not sure they have much more room for growth.
