(Hint: This is what I do.)

Edit: Oh great, now this is going to evolve into a GMail vs MobileME debate.

For what? An email service?

I'm talking about Google Apps for Small Businesses.

$50/year/user and your ads are gone.

I mean, if you hate ads so much.

I think you're just egging me on to see how far I go with this. You can't really be arguing this stuff on your own.

I know.

And you keep replying.

Seriously though, its fun getting the fanboi in you to come out.

I have no problem if you like Apple. Personally, despite my problem with some of their policies I think they offer an incredible product. I've said that many times.

But I like Google too, so if I'm a Google fanboi, and you're an Apple fanboi, we gotta argue sometimes. Duh.

Haha, I knew it. It's all good.

Mobileme has a mail service too?

I mean, like Gmail.

I mean, like Gmail.

IMAP based push email, calendar, contacts, bookmarks, photo galleries, 20GB storage space and remote tools for your iPhone (phone locator, remote wipe, etc).

Works on PCs and Mac. I use it with Outlook on my Dell and on my iPhone. All my email is instantly sync'd, along with calendars, contacts and everything else I listed above.

The catch is I don't think it will work with other phones. I mean, you don't have to use a phone to use it, but if you did, it would have to be an iPhone.

The Gmail thing is cool though. $50 is a pretty good price for that.

Edit: I don't get the storage stuff though. Google gives 25GB of email storage, but nothing for regular file storage? MobileMe has 20GB of empty storage space that you access in Windows Explorer (or Finder) and drag and drop whatever you want to.

Oh cool.

Yeah, the Gmail one is pretty good, but its a small headache to setup.

I'm now back into AAPL again in my TFSA.

Earnings are in a couple of weeks.

Watch for a run up before earnings and a possible drop afterwards.

I doubt they can "destroy" analysts' earning estimates again this time.

My position is long so I'll be on this earnings rollercoaster coming up.

Will look to dump my RRSPs holdings into AAPL if it hits the 200 day moving average.

I hope you follow Apple earnings closely. It doesn't even matter if they destroy analyst's earnings, the stock price will be driven by their future guidance.

I'm really liking my Oct2010 200 puts I picked up today. hehe

I was listening to Windows Weekly on Twit the other day and they were talking about Apple stock (which is obviously doing well) and how some people slam Microsoft because of it. But Microsoft makes more money than Apple and Google....combined.

Yeah.

I read somewhere a copy of Windows 7 sells every 7 seconds.

Pretty good for a company that 'sucks.'

I think their stock isn't very good, no dividend and not much more market to capture so growth potential is low.

Funny how MSFT controls the majority of the market and is in a position where lots of other companies would be envious to be in but now that they are there, their stock isn't attractive at all.

It's weird that you love apple so much. Get a job!
