It's important to understand that this isn't about a particular company like Apple though it is a good example. This is about about how your brian functions and how emotions are more powerful than logic. It's a study in Neuromarketing and brand attachment.

@rcktman244 I am no typist.Apple is a good strong company,no doubt.But Microsoft has the strongest most recognized brand in the world. As for the ipods, just wanted shed of them. I wouldn't sell a dog that bites and I could sell them. Making your product exclusive and incompatible with everything else is no way to secure a market. Ask Delco radio, the inventor of the car radio how long that strategy works, As for hatting people ,there are for more meaningful reasons. Try harder.

1. It's "sale," not "sail."

2. Apple is the most profitable computer manufacturer. Windows, is a product, not a company, and Microsoft is a software company, not a computer manufacturer. When you combine the sales of HP, Dell, Acer, and Lenovo, it looks like Apple is losing. When you compare Apple's sales with each individual company, however, Apple is winning big right now.

3. Did you really throw away 3 iPods? Why would you not just sell them?

@Tubeusr549 Then they buy the most "popular" which means the most expensive. Then they buy the best product, and that is who ultimately holds the market.

it is you that has much to learn grasshopper!

[NOMADdaf]

@Tubeusr549 My statement stands on its own.Windows out sells apple 1,000 to 1! Apple sells to people who have very limited needs from their computers. The rest of their sails are because nothing else works with apple. They build to exclude their users from making ant other choices. I bought 3

ipods for my family and we threw them away when we learned they only worked with Itunes witch messes up my pc. Every other mp3 player works better.At the start people by the best ad.

[Tubeusr549]

@NOMADaf I believe you may have a lot to learn, I believe in people, what do you believe? I believe that comparing one computer to a plethera shows that Apple as a single entity they outsell any one computer comapany alone, am I wrong?

[RustyRustler]
