How is losing money relevant here, you started off the argument by saying Apple is the only vertical computer company left. Which is clearly not true and as your own comment contradicts.
You should try using a Surface Pro once. It is what the MacBook Pro is becoming now, only it is 5 years ahead. Yes, Windows sucks. But, the form factor and its usability is unmatched. I wouldn't just write it off as "dabbling".
I wouldn't bother. If you scroll through Danox's comment history, he repeats these same few talking points without any ability to substantiate his claims:
"Apple will bring memory in-house" (no further explanation, apparently)
"Vertical computers need a comeback" (ignoring why they originally died?)
"$GROUP needs to buy an ARM ISA license" (Arm has to make it worthwhile)
It's beyond my understanding how people can read the news and come up with this stuff. Perhaps it is beyond the commentor's understanding, as well.
One big problem with HN recently is the sheer number of bots - this account's pattern looks eerily similar to one and the next big issue which has been an issue for over a decade now is many folks here own Apple stock. They have a conflict of interest and their arguments are extremely skewed in favor of Apple.
