The Macalope sometimes excuses himself for picking the low-hanging fruit when it is particularly lush. But it’s not always the lowest fruit that’s the fruitiest.

And with good reason. But where would the Macalope be without Forbes? The magazine that provides “Information for the World’s Business Leaders” who are waiting in dentists offices is like a pundit clown car: Hilarious, dopey entertainers spill from it in an unending stream and circle back around to spill out of it again. This week, the Forbes equivalent of Koko, Bozo, and Krusty are here to give the world’s business leaders the inside scoop on Apple’s security problem and how the company is nothing but a house of cards built on desperation.

A foldable plastic rain hat. A foldable plastic rain hat with a bank logo on it. A foldable plastic rain hat with a bank logo on it given as a present.
The relevance of this anecdote will become clear as we look at Louis Bedigian’s article on Forbes about a “poll” showing that “63% Of Investors Don’t Want An Apple iWatch” (no link, but tip o’ the antlers to Kevin P).

Just so you know, as painful as some of the pieces we'll look at this week are, the Macalope did you all a favor. Not only did he pass up a piece by Rob Enderle, he also passed up a piece by John Dvorak. So ... don't say the horny one never did anything for you.
What we will be wading through, however, is more Apple acquisition porn of the shoddiest kind, reasons why an unshipped Apple product will fail (SEEN IT), and the thick, viscous fluid that drips from Dan Lyons's brain.
