[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Apple's business model is wayyyy more monopolistic than Microsoft ever was. It's just a matter of time before the federal government nails them for $50 billion or so. -----signature----- If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc "Everyone has a chance to become rich." - Groucho48 "Most of the human wealth on earth exists between the ears of live human beings." - theredkay1

	possibly.. the thing with them though is they have very little market share.(also why they still have room to grow) -----signature----- (none)

	what i mean is its hard to say they have a monopoly even if theyre nearly worth 600bln when their market share is only about 20% in phones and probably less in PCs. -----signature----- (none)

	Try to sell apps for the iPhone without cutting Apple in on the deal and see whether or not they are monopolistic. -----signature----- If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc "Everyone has a chance to become rich." - Groucho48 "Most of the human wealth on earth exists between the ears of live human beings." - theredkay1

	Intel is on the way out. Totally see it since intel processors are fail in tablets and phones. Qualcomm might become a major contender I think as far a market share goes Not that I care. Intel is a CPU Processor company which it excels in -----signature----- (none)
