I'm far from perfect, far from even really good. I'm really lucky and I know how to invest. I was right about apple and the iPhone. You guys mocked me like you were in junior high. That's fine I do more than my share of it. I know 1 or 2 people have paid attention and have profited along with me. The ipad is yet another game changer. I have sold again 3x in apple and a nice little profit each time. Peace
Channeling uscitizen now?
Nobody mocked your decision to buy Apple, they just laughed that you were so jizzed about it.

No state uses Apple products for their legal system, no law firm uses apple products to do their work. No state uses Apple products for their computing needs. If you are an artist, a film maker, real estate agent, then Apple is a great product, but not in the business world. Had Apple licenced their computers so that other companies could make them like IBM did then their software might be prevalent. But not so now.

I'm not at all into ambulance chasers computers. I know the tight ass business world more than I wish I did. I know investing better, I know the iPhone sold millions and increased mac sales in the process. I nowhere said it would kill Microsoft, just that it would kill. If apple pulls back I'll buy it again. Peace
I'd drop AT&T (not completely of course) and buy more Apple... They're opening out into Verizon and that will hurt AT&T... I plan on picking up a bit of Verizon rather than dropping T, but then T was top 7 of the fortune 500...

Add Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to the list of companies funding iPad app development. This morning the storied venture capital firm said it is doubling the $100 million fund it established to provide seed capital for iPhone apps to fuel development of new apps for Apple’s (AAPL) new device.
“This Saturday the iPad arrives and we believ e it’s going to rule the world,” said KPCG partner John Doerr. “I’ve touched it, I’ve carressed it and I hope to sleep with it this Saturday night. It’s not a big iPhone. It’s the future.” [The announcement below, details to follow]
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Doubles iFund to $200 Million
iFund Companies to Deliver More Than a Dozen New iPad Applications by May
MENLO PARK, Calif., March 31, 2010 – Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) today announced the doubling of its iFund to $200 million of venture capital for applications for Apple’s revolutionary iPhone OS family of products, including iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Established in 2008 as a $100 million investment pool, the original iFund is now fully committed across 14 companies. iFund companies have been supported by an additional $330 million from follow-on investors.
KPCB also announced iFund-supported companies have more than 20 applications in development for the soon-to-be-released iPad, with 11 available at first ship on April 3. KPCB noted the iPhone has created an inflection in mobile content consumption and the iPad will lead the next wave of innovation in mobile computing. The iFund is increasing its investment dollars to back entrepreneurs and build companies that focus on these areas. Particular areas of interest on iPad include entertainment, communication, social networking, commerce, health care, and education.
“Welcome to the brave new post-PC era where a swoosh of fluidity replaces the traditional mouse-bound GUI. A new, truly revolutionary platform is rare, and a prize for entrepreneurs,” said John Doerr, KPCB Partner. “We expect all ventures to have an iPad strategy. We will fund many more ventures for iPad, and the iFund will accelerate their success.”
“Kleiner Perkins has done a terrific job at finding, funding and supporting great iPhone app developers,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We are thrilled that they are doubling the size of their fund, along with expanding it to now include iPad developers too.”
Matt Murphy, Partner at KPCB and leader of the iFund, reported that KPCB’s iFund ventures have achieved significant success, including:
More than $100 million of 2010 mobile revenue
More than 100 million aggregate mobile downloads
An amazing 18 titles reached the Top 10 on the App Store
“We’re ecstatic to be doubling down on the iFund after two short years,” said Murphy. “The success of the App Store and its impact on consumers has been 10 times faster and bigger than we expected. Kleiner Perkins and iFund companies have enjoyed an incredibly helpful and unwavering partner in Apple.”
Recent milestones for iFund companies include:
GOGII’s 5.5 million users have sent 2 billion messages through textPlus
ngmoco’s titles are installed on over one-third of iPhone OS devices and played 20 million minutes each day
Pinger launched 10 apps into the App Store Top 100 in a single month
Shazam’s 50 million worldwide users are tagging over 2 million songs per day
Booyah’s MyTown has over 1.6 million users doing 4 million location check-ins per day
The 11 applications available this week from iFund companies include seven games from ngmoco including We Rule, GodFinger and WarpGate, as well as Doodle Buddy and Star Smash from Pinger, textPlus from GOGII, and Shazam from Shazam Entertainment.

As for the article, that's just what this world needs more of. Pretentious college kids getting stupid toys. I hope all Apple batteries are secretly programmed to explode 6 hours after being first used.

Actually I probably could were I so inclined. But I make enough money as is right now.
The ipad is not revolutionary. It's not even evolutionary. It's a touch screen tablet. Those have been around for years. Hell, I had a good friend build some custom ones for my squadmates in Iraq. Nothing new, other than now you have to hold your computer hostage to Apple for software, since they don't allow third parties to program on their OS. What an amazing idea.
