Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.
Gregory Johnson, Director of the Consumer Defense Resource Group, responds to the recent iPhone price drop.
In a strange turn of events this week, some consumers are upset now because as of Wednesday (Sept. 5) Apple lowered the retail price of their iPhone by $200. The 8GB iPhone is now $400 rather than $600. Customers raised such an outcry that Steve Jobs has published an open letter in response.
Apple and other companies are continually coming out with new products that usually offer more speed, more storage, more features, and cost less than previous models. Nobody has ever complained -- until now. Why haven't people complained in the past when Apple has had significant price drops and major upgrades on their other products? There wasn't a revolt then. There were no mobs of angry customers demanding rebates.
My first CD drive was a 2X speed external drive that required a special interface card in the computer. It cost $1,200 and today better drives are available for about $30. My first scanner was a very slow and big unit costing over $1,000. Today, better scanners are available for under $100. My first computer cost more than $2,000 and had a 20MB hard drive. With 8GB of storage, the iPhone should cost about $800,000. So, $600 didn’t seem too expensive.
I bought my iPhone for $600 knowing that by next year they would probably drop to about $300 or $400. I didn't think there would be a mid-year drop, but so what. I knew the trajectory of technology progress would mean that a better phone will be available in 6 to 9 months at probably a lower price -- more apps, faster, more features, more memory. It's a given. You buy something this month. Next month it will be obsolete. That's just the way it is. Perhaps Apple should put a disclaimer on their website stating: "Warning: Our products will increasingly become faster, cooler, more innovative, and offer greater value for the dollar as time goes on. Get used to it."
Apple is progressing so quickly now, beyond any other technology innovation company, that this kind of thing is likely to happen again in the future with some other product of theirs. Are people going to complain each time? Must the company give out rebates each time? This all seems so silly. It’s no longer possible to compare Apple to other companies with regard to their ability to implement product improvements. It’s like dog years versus human years. Two months in Apple’s world of product development is equal to about 6 to 9 months for most manufacturers. I know it is difficult, but people need to get used to that.
To the complainers out there, I have a few questions. Would you like Apple to be less innovative? Would you like Apple to not give you more value and voluntarily drop their prices by hundreds of dollars? Is that what you want? Don't get upset at Apple just because they are pushing the envelope of technical innovation and value from one month to the next. What if Apple released an 8-core computer this summer and then by fall they announced their new 16-core computer? This is the kind of development and progress pace we need to start expecting from Apple. The migration to Intel processors went much faster than anticipated.
Some research suggests that the iPhone cost of materials are about $300. So, there had been some complaints that Apple is price gouging by selling the iPhone for twice that amount. What people don’t understand is that there are other costs in building a piece of technology and running a business beyond the electronic components that go into them. The actual cost per 8GB iPhone is probably about $550. When Apple sells them for $400 each, I calculate they are taking a loss on the phone of about $150 per phone. Why would a company do this? There is something called a “lost leader” in retail sales. It’s a product you sell below your cost in an effort to rapidly expand your customer base. I’m guessing this is what Apple is doing by offering the iPhone at such an amazingly low price.
I'm planning to purchase an Apple notebook sometime soon. I'm not in a hurry, so I'm waiting until they announce the next major upgrade to their notebook line. I'm guessing it will be this fall. If I really was in a rush to get a notebook, I'd get one now, and then be a little disappointed when the new ones are announced -- but I wouldn’t be surprised. Instead, I'm waiting. I'd like to see built-in broadband cards (cellular data access) and LED back lighting in the 17-inch notebook. Perhaps larger hard drives and faster processors would be nice. It would be wonderful if it had an optical glass touch screen like the iPhone.
This latest uproar reminds me of the consumer complaints about iPods scratching. For decades, portable handheld computing devices have been available. They get scratched, and nobody says anything. Anyone concerned about their device scratching can purchase a protective cover. Then Apple comes along and offers their product. Suddenly consumers are in an uproar about it scratching and there is a class action lawsuit. It doesn’t seem fair that the most progressive and innovative company out there is the one that gets beaten up by consumers the most.

I've read too many reports in the media from people more highly credentialed than Mr. Johnson to the contrary.
The analogies and comparisons are still way off. Production didn't get cheaper, the phone didn't get upgraded, no carrier's are subsidizing, retailer's are not discounting. Never has the MSRP of CD-ROMs, nor cellphones, nor HDTV's dropped this quickly in history.
I'm tired and going to bed. But here's your assignment. Apple's price decrease rate is 33.3% in 67 days. What would a $10,000 item cost at that rate in one year?
Actually product advancement and innovation are very much the central issue here. Apple has effectively "upgraded" the 4GB unit to 8GB and reduced the price by $100. It's all in how you look at it.
The real issue of innovation and development has yet to be seen, but the recent price drop is an indicator that Apple already has something "in the shoot" to be released soon.
I was thinking it might take a year for a new version of the iPhone to be announced. Yet, with the recent price drop, it seems they may be lowering the price on the original unit to make room for a new one. Which is my point exactly. Apple is so fast at innovating that they already have something new to release (that's my prediction).
They can't release something new and sell the old units if the "something new" and the "something old" are at the same price. It makes sense that the 8GB unit would drop to $400 and the new one will be $600.

What is the purpose of Additional Group Base in the settings of AD plugin
Hi everybody,
We have some trouble when searching for NTFS files. (10.1.8.1. Windows 2003)

How to get the apple support email which responds to the emails?
hi,
I`m Dr Shrief Hemaid, from Egypt. I have purchased my Ipad ( ipad 4 32 G) since 11/2/2013. It has hanged up a lot ( frozen in opening and closing) plus there was a problem in connecting the internet either via the sim card or even the wifi. but the most repeating and longlasting is the connection via sim card.
the 3G signal shows 3-4 bars at least but there was no connectivity, i was back to the communication center ( Mobinil) and checking the sim card in another appliance they confirmed to me that the problem comes from the Ipad because the problem appears in every where i go and the sim card is connecting to the internet through another applience so the Ipad is the problem.
then when i was back to the ispot agency on 21/02/2013 they refused to receive the ipad by myself but only via the vendor i had purchased it from.
I have directed to the vendor in turn which sent them the Ipad after a long journey finally on 13/3/2013.
when i have phoned them to check that the applience had been received and wanted to describe the problem he refused to give me any report myself but only through my vendor
when the vendor told me that ispot agency reported that the ipad works well and has no problem, i have gone to the aspot agency myself on 18/3/2013 to check it myself and after a long discussion to let me check it myself ( and the technician refused to face me because he has instructions not to meet customers), i found that the problem persists in front of the receptionists, one of the receptionist communicated with the technician to tell him the problem and after a long discussion the technician accepted to speak to me and when he changed the sim card the problem also persisted for a while but it was able to connect to the internet after about 5 minutes ( that means that the problem persists) he ( the technician) told me that the ipad must stay for another 48 hours to check it!!!
what`s the problem? does that problem need that long time to be reported?
I only need a report about the problem to get back to my vendor to replace the appliance. it is my right, isn`t it?
I found out that the technician even didn`t check the problem well he was confused and provocative. Even the receptionist doesn`t have any idea about a lot of things i.e the specifications of another applience. he was doing only what he was ordered without any understanding.
and the technician has mistreated me, and also the isopt agency as a whole has a big problem in managing the complaints and after purchasing service.
I think that may affect the good reputation of apple and its appliances, isn`t it?
Myself, i have got a bad experience about apple because of that.
finally, as a customer I`d like to get my problem be solved as soon as possible. what`s my fault to get a bad appliance from a bad Apple agency?

Hi! so like i said in the title, i tried to play any game like assassin's creed and minecraft, but the keyboard wont respond but the trackpad does, also i tried restarting reinstalling checking if mouse key is on or off and all that, and it still wont fix this problem. Outside of gaming though, the keyboard works with no problem. Please help me!
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Right click on link for pdf document and "Open in another tab"
Immediately, the mouse wheel scroll function stops working in the current tab (or any other open tabs).
It's not a deal breaker, just a strange annoyance.Using similar scroll function on my netbook. To add to the above, I find that using scroll is actually causing the PDF to scroll rather than the tab I'm actually in.

Why does the audio books not grouped on ipod unlike on iphone?
I had transferred my audio books on my ipod classic (which used to be on my iphone). When I was about to listen to it, the audio books are listed on the ipod per tracks not by book. Why does apple cannot make the ipod OS handle the audio books like the iphone OS?

Can anyone help with this? It is not wifi dropping the airport express. Wifi is connected. Music plays for 5 minutes or so and then goes silent. It is as if the Apple iPhone and iPad is no longer recognizing the airport express. I need to open up the menu and. Lick on the airport express on iPhone and iPad to get it going again. Then it will drop over and over every 5 minutes or so. No problem with Apple TV. Also no problem with my windows laptop as all work s fine with no drops. Crazy.
What does any of this have to do with the Apple TV?

I originally posted this question to the community section and was advised to post it here. Please bear with me as this will be a long post. I'm including the scenarios involving this reoccurring issue, the trouble shooting steps I've already
taken and the results of several diagnostic tools and logs.
I have a Sony VAIOS VPCEBB33FM lap top since 2011. I have had this issue on an off for a long time. I'm at my wit's end. Any new insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Scenario Details
1) Some times it's on and off through out the day, sometimes it won't work all day, and once in a while it will work fine for the entire day.
2) I've had this issue across several wireless services, Clear Network accessed with WiMax, Library Wi-fi, Comcast cable internet using wireless router and Wi-fi, and Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi, to name a few examples.
3) Other devices in the household or library will work with no problems such as my smart phone or my roommates' laptops or desktop computers.
4) Once in a while, the built-in wireless adapter is not found and I have to reinstall the driver. Also the diagnostic tool has had to reset my adapter on an increasing basis.
5) I had my hard drive replaced in December 2014 and my system restored from the System Restore disks that came with it when I bought the laptop. Even though I've been online on an infrequent basis it worked just fine for a while. Now that
I've been online a bit more I'm having the same issues again.
Below are my attempts at trouble shooting so far but I still have not been able to consistently resolve my DNS issues
1) Restarting my adapter
2) Turning off my laptop and removing the power supply for 5-10 minutes before turning it back on.
3) Using the IP Config in Command Prompt
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
4) Using the NetSh reset in Command Prompt and restarting my laptop
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns
[restart laptop]
5) Configuring the TCP/IP in several settings
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties.
I have used the following settings:
a) Obtain an DNS server address automatically
b) OpenDNS
208 67 222 222
208 67 220 220
c) Google DNS
8 8 8 8
8 8 4 4
6) Updating the driver for my Intel Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN and Intel Centrino(R) WIMAX 6250 from the Intel website previous having my laptop wiped clean in 2014. It still did not resolve the issue. My laptop
manufacturer as not come up with an driver update for my adapter since 2010. I haven't tried to update the adapter driver from Intel's website since having my laptop repaired due to the fact that Intel strongly recommending using the manufacturer's updates
instead and frankly it didn't make much of a difference when I did it the first time.
7) The last one I've tried as of today is going into Services and changing the start up type to automatic for the following:
Computer Browser [changed from manual to automatic]
DHCP Client [already set to automatic]
DNS Client [already set to automatic]
Network Connections [already set to automatic]
Network Location Awareness [changed from manual to automatic]
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) [already set to automatic]
Server [already set to automatic]
TCP/IP Netbios helper [already set to automatic]
Workstation [already set to automatic]
...and I'm still having DNS issues.
My only guessing are that my laptop came with a lemon adapter that needs to be replaced, some advanced setting(s) that I'm not aware off, or my firewall/anti-virus is interfering. I've used Symmantic Anti-virus and Firewall in the past and currently
Avast Anti-Virus with Microsoft Network Firewall. I've had DNS issues with both anti-virus/firewall set ups.
Below are the results from the diagnostics and tests that I've ran.

I have a two SharePoint 2010 farms, one is the publishing farm and user profile service is running on this farm. I have defined a couple of new custom properties, and after a while these custom properties do not show up at the consumer farm end.
So, on the publishing farm, I can udpate the user profiles with values in these custom properties. However, neither the custom properties nor the values got synchronized to the consumer farm. What puzzled me further is that some of the existing custom properties
exist on the consumer farm, but not the new custom properties I recently added.
1. I have made sure the application pool accounts on both the farms being added to the administrators with full control permission in UPS on the publishing farm.
2. The User Profile Service proxy (connected to the publishing farm UPS application) is associated with all the web applications on the consumer farm.
3. When values in the user profiles on the publishing farm changed, these changes do not get replicated to the consuming farm user profiles. This symptom occurs on both custom and OOB user profile properties.
However, I cannot find any other related information on the web, nor from the ULS logs.Hi,
As I understand, it did not display the new custom properties you defined in the publishing farm at the consumer farm end.
1. Check if the topology Discovery Service Application runs well in consuming farm. In the Central Administration, it is the Application Discovery and load Balancer Service Application, check if it starts.
In the IIS, it is the topology, check if it starts.
2. Check the permissions have been established if you have established consumer farm permissions on Provider Farm before you publish the service application.
1. Go to Central Administration and going to “Manage Service Applications”.
2. Click on “Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application” and click “Permissions” from the ribbon.
Your farm GUID should be listed with full permissions.

Hi,
I am facing an issue while loading fresh data into SQL server database.
we are able to load data into staging area, but while processing stored procedures system face bellow error message :
[823] [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The operating system returned error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x00000243bd0000 in file 'E:\SQLDB\DBName.mdf'.
Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC
CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
we use windows 2008 R2 with SQL server managment studio 2008.
Appreciate your suggestion.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Manorath
ManorathHi Manorath,
Based on my research, this issue can be occurred in the following scenarios:
You are running a DBCC command on a large database. For example, you are running the DBCC CHECKDB statement on the database. At the same time, you run many DML statements on the database.
You create a database snapshot for a large database. At the same time, you are running many DML statements on the database.
In these scenarios, the SQL Server service stops responding. The DBCC CHECK statement is never completed, and you receive the error message repeatedly.
This issue occurs because the sparse file for a database snapshot file has exceeded the file size limitation in NTFS file system. When the operating system error 1450 occurs, SQL Server enters an infinite retry loop.
To fix this issue, please download and install Cumulative update package 1 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1. Besides, because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous
SQL Server 2008 fix release. We recommend that you consider applying the most recent fix release that contains this hotfix.

Information on the Virtual IP Address of cluster resource group
Hi,
I would like to know how we can find a Virtual IP address of resource group. i.e. The IP address associated to the SUNW.LogicalHostname resource of the resource group.
Is it always present in the output of the command 'ifconfig -a'?
What is difference between IPMP and the Virtual IP Address of the resource groups? Can these IP Addresses be common / same?
Thanks,
ChaitanyaChaitanya,
There seems to be a little confusion in your question so let me try and explain.
Resource groups do not necessarily have to have a logical (virtual) IP address. They will only have a logical IP address if you configure on by adding a SUNW.LogicalHostname resource to the resource group. When you create that resource, you give it the hostname of the IP address you want it to control. This host name should be in the name service, i.e. /etc/hosts, NIS, DNS, LDAP.
When you have added such a resource to a resource group (RG), bringing the RG online will result in the logical IP address being plumbed up on one of the NICs that form the IPMP group that host the relevant subnet. So, if you have two NICs (ce0, ce1) in an IPMP group that support the 129.156.10.x/24 subnet and you added a logical IP address 129.156.10.42 to RG foo-rg, then bringing foo-rg online will result in 129.156.10.42 being plumbed in on either ce0 or ce1. ifconfig -a will then show this in the output, usually as ce0:1 or ce0:2 or ce1:3, etc.
An IPMP group is a Solaris feature that supports IP multi-pathing. It uses either ICMP probes or link detection to determine the health of a network interface. In the event that a NIC fails, the IP addresses that are hosted on that NIC are transferred to the remaining NIC. So, if your host has an IP of 129.156.10.41 plumbed on ce0 and it fails, it will be migrated to ce1.
That's a very short description of a much more detailed topic. Please have a look at the relevant sections in the Solaris and Solaris Cluster documentation on docs.sun.com.
Hope that helps,
Tim
