Apple FTW
On Wednesday, Apple’s market cap moved past Microsoft’s by $3 billion, which had CNN Money declaring Microsoft “no longer the industry’s alpha dog.”
CNN Money interviewed a couple experts on what Microsoft had to do to continue keeping up with the Jobses, with one analyst suggesting:
“They have to continue to try to find other businesses, otherwise growth is always going to be bound by the PC market. Wall Street believes in Apple because Apple continues to put out new products that capture the imaginations of the press and tech pundits. Microsoft just hasn’t been able to come up with a new multi billion dollar business like Apple.”
And while we’re no experts, we are a target demo, as the owners of about a dozen Apple products between us, so here’s another suggestion:
MAKE YOUR SHIT CUTER, MICROSOFT. MAKE YOUR SHIT A WHOLE LOT CUTER.

I think Microsoft needs to get some sharper industrial designers, who can make their devices (like the tagged “Zune”) nicer, more fun to use, and as intuitive as products like the iPads. They keep trying to foist Cadillac on us, when we want Mini Cooper.
