Facebook, It's Time To Face Facts: You Need Apple More Than It Needs You

Much ado about nothing

terrible article.. Google+ is the only social network that needs apple and if you think working with facebook was difficult, wait until the wars between apple and goog heat up.

Does anyone edit these articles? Missing words and sloppy punctuation-nice.

I don't need either one

I don't need FACEBOOK or APPLE.

Funny how two of Silicon Valley's biggest companies are not really technology companies, but marketing companies. For proof, name one new technology invented and developed by Apple or FB.

Wow where is this coming from? Must be another slow day in the news LOL

Facebook is a joke, right? Of course if I was in solitary confinement I would just love to have all my friends inside a little electronic device. ..lo...
Getting tired of that "F" on every site I visit.

Let's get real here, both Facebook and Apple have unreasonable terms and conditions and neither plays well with others. I would be happy to see both of them implode and fall by the wayside of progress.

So how do you write an article based on general speculation as to whether or not Steve Jobs was being honest about the demands Facebook (a competitor) made? What happened to journalism? Get off your iPad, stop writing commercials for how great Apple is and go confirm facts before you use them as the foundation of your story.... sloppy work; pitiful.

Looks like an infotisementeditorial. Let's hear about China's one million people that build this crud in slave conditions and then sell it here in glossy Apple boxes. Conscience not.

apple nor face book will be on top forever

Who needs apple when you have FACEBOOK - who the hell is the author of this article?

To hell with apple!!!!

I'm going to guess the #$%$ who wrote this article did so on his mac, while listening to his Itunes enabled device, probably fact-checked by calling his friend on his IPhone.Think about it, #$%$. Apple has taken almost 35 years to get to the point they are. Facebook, about 5.Yeah, Apple doesn't need facebook, huh? Considering their are MILLIONS of people using Facebook that AREN'T using ANYTHING Apple, I'd say this article was full of crap by someone wanting better integration with their walled garden called IOS.

Suri says this article sucks.

The arrogance and inflated sense of self-importance in the fanboi army continues to amaze me.

Have you read Apple's developer agreement? Of course they're trying to set ridiculous and onerous terms with FB. If you ask me, FB has already gone the extra mile: they have iPad and iPhone apps available. Apple looks petulant and broken having Twitter integration everywhere but not FB. Ping is a failure. It's Apple that should be eating a little crow.

1 Facebook has low growth potential. They have reached about as far in terms of market penetration that they can. Given competition of G+ and the lightweight competition of Myspace, Linked in and other more niche sites.

2 They can only abuse their customers so far (and they are by most accounts are at that point) the invasions of privacy that Facebook imposes on its user base become to onerous.
3 The next factor to consider is Rate of Loss of viewership as people move onto newer and better. competition like G+

Actually, Apple's core mission is world dominination - think Pinky and the Brain, only the Brain decided to take over the world by designing cool electronics....
