cyclingplatypus commented on Netflix Online Video Becomes All-You-Eat Tomorrow; Can It Compete With iTunes Video Rentals?

"@ MONTY Right, because the iTunes store is just doing amazing with video. Business week seems to think that Apple has 75% of the video market right now without rentals...so it would seem that your sarcastic statement would be true...they have done amazing with video. Not as well as music but 75% (even of a small endeavor) is still 75%. Source"

cyclingplatypus commented on AT&T Earnings Call; Apple's Stock Down Due to Wild Analyst Predictions

" They (Apple) were saying that it was 2%, that still 2,920 people who went uncompensated for their frustration, now I'll admit that expecting compensation shouldn't be a given but it would of been real nice if AT&T would have waived the activation fee for those unlucky 2,900 people...but then again that would be being customer service oriented instead of money grubbing oriented.
