For Jobs it might be wise to remember that old quote by philosopher George Satayana, "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." After all, Mr. Jobs might recall that two and a half decades ago his company was on top of the personal computer market and trying to hold off a "fragmented" competitor -- Microsoft. And by that same token, some analysts just a year ago were dismissing that an Apple tablet would be "useless" consumers -- the same kind of rhetoric Mr. Jobs is now directing against his competitors.

iPad was the weakest part of the company's earnings report falling short of analyst predictions and only moving 4.19 million units. Apple, though claims that this is due to supply issues. It claims that Apple is selling every unit it can produce. Apple executives in the earnings call failed to explain discrepancies between this statement with past reports that Apple was producing up to 2.3 million units a month (and thus should have had 6.9 million available units for the quarter).
