A...Always the index of comparison need not be self. AAPL has outperformed S&P500 by 45%. Moreover recession fears were looming at the time u had written the blog. A general slide was observed in most of the stocks. I donot think its a punishment for being perfect. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, when someone comes dressed nicely everyday everyone assumes that the particular task is well under the capability of the person. However, one needs to understand that its the same task the person is trying to repeat the next day. However, apple releasing a new phone or a computer is different. Both are different products and are sold to different people. Whether they would be as successful as predicted in a situation not conducive for consumerism is a different question. I am particularly not comfortable with the example cited here and the comparison the author is trying to draw out of it.<BR/><BR/>Now, in the fedex case the author talks about the same event of delivering the message and rrestaurant services are the same. So whats different is interesting. It becomes word of mouth.Siddhartha E.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905924337737982733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33890542.post-79135940385585723662008-02-28T10:44:00.000+05:302008-02-28T10:44:00.000+05:30I don't have sufficient data or any other comparis...I don't have sufficient data or any other comparison reg the general slide. still i will take your word for it. But what do you say about apple's customer unfriendly practices? charging 20 dollars for s/w upgrade for instanceAppuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943787484240840432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33890542.post-30789816837254759002008-02-28T10:36:00.000+05:302008-02-28T10:36:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Siddhartha E.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905924337737982733noreply@blogger.com
