Yes Apple products are cool, but they are also very well made, fast and have developer support and most important have clear direction and no device confusion.

Apples at easy to use and when I do get confused the apple store provides fantastic support. Love both my iPad2 and 4S.

Apple is all about coolness, but their products are more main stream now, not only for the rich!

Well it's halfway past 2012 and Apple is till cool. Guess this analyst is also all about Scientology.

Deagon concludes his bleak prediction for Apple by saying that the TV market is the “next big hope” for Apple, but he says that success in this field will not be easy to achieve, given Samsung’s current dominance of that market.

Brian Deagon has been slagging Apple since January. Back then he was citing Morgan Keegan's Travis McCourt who lowered his AAPL price target from $530 to $513. At that time AAPL was a $411 stock.

AAPL closed at $674 tonight. Glad I've never given McCourt or Deagon any of my money.

Seriously conflicted idiots. But it's still wrong for CNBC to malign "real" penguins.
