Apple "gets it"; consumers have caught on and the stock price reflects it.

Apple owns consumer entertainment in ways that other goliaths (Microsoft?) can't even comprehend; Apple has some weird futurevision, other tech companies seem to merely react.
How long will it last? Who knows, not forever, but they are riding the gravy train now.
