People have been slowing been moving away from the technological applications that apple has been creating becuase of their mediocraty and awkwardness. Will people come back though now that apple is cleaning their stuff up or have they moved away and now become entrenched in nice alternatives like grooveshark. According the statistical data i gathered i can confirm that the move away should be perminant as apple made their processes too closed and not open so that limited the options for developers (applications forcing others to pay royalties making free sale inpossible) (buidling becuase no open source)
They were first in but last out. they tried to stick with the same formula and did not innovate enough. They tried to use the same formula every time in form 661 which means that they rehash what works which is safe but they never innovated with things like open source and making things free. Now a days the market is moving towards everything being free. For example in gaming there has been alot of free games that come out with some sort of free pay for convience or visuals astetics, which is nice becuase you can play a game or commit to buying a game later after you know if you like it. I think that apple users will not come back becuase they fell behind and peopel moved away from apple to the new companies that are more creative and move quickly with the times. Like google and their adroid prodcts. Googles process is very innovative and they are not afraid to try crazy things and even completely rework things and take a risk and that is why they came ahead of apple in the tech race.

Hybrid hard disk drives, such as Seagate’s Momentus XT, offer the performance advantages of a solid state drive (SSD) combined with the capacity and cost advantages of platter-based hard disks. Now the Data Storage Institute (DSI) from Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) has unveiled its own hybrid hard drive called the “A-Drive” that comes in a 2.5-inch form factor and measures a svelte 5 mm thick.

The A-Drive measures a comely 5 mm thick
