Biz app from Apple - on a limb

Many of you may be shocked that I'm going out on a limb on this one...If I could I would bet my left testicle on this. But within 6 months Apple will be releasing a new business application.

I am not quite sure if this is going to be an accounting application for small businesses that is completely seperate from filemaker or an add on solution to filemaker. Filemaker seems to be more the standard black and white business side of Apple where Apple is dealing more with the creative side of the economy. Businesses and accountants would probably have a bit warmer reception if this came from the Filemaker side of things then if it where to have a bitten apple on the box.

I't shouldn't take an accountant to understand how to use business software out of the box. Many new business are spending thousands on accounting fees because they don't get the jist of quickbooks, myob, or checkmark. Then after you pay 500 bucks for all the bells and whistles of these accounting programs many still have to bring all these numbers back to their accountants. I hate having to pay people to count my own money.

This could be a very important stepping stone for Apple, to actually make software that everyone hates to learn and intuitive right out of the box.

Heck, I would still have one, would just be a bit off balance... but if I my hunch is right I would get and extra. Double Down, never walk away when you have nothing to loose and something to gain.

Hmm... I'm not entirely sure Apple really wants your 'spare parts'. So maybe they'll start developing something now that you've threatened to get rid of your bodyparts... :/

I heard that Apple is going to make a hand-cranked frozen dessert device, called "iCream".

I swear this is true. I'll give my right buttock if it's not.

I heard Apple's next app will analyze Mi5moav's speculative posts. It's called iDon'tThinkSo.
