The Macalope’s not sure what to make of The Street’s Rocco Pendola. With hair like Pendola has, sometimes the Macalope thinks he should make a rug.
Pendola seems to run hot and cold on Apple. He’s kind of the Harvey Dent of Apple opinion-making. The horny one would not be going out on a limb to say that the coin landed scar-face-up this time.

Yes, kids, in just three easy lessons, you can make anything be about Apple! News about Samsung? No, it's about Apple! News about Facebook? No, it's about Apple! News about the scientific properties of magnetism? NO, IT'S ABOUT APPLE!

Let's do a little case study. As of this writing, Apple's stock sits at $461 a share, up about 18 percent from its late April low. You may recall how around that low we were fêted to one story after another about how doomity doomed Apple was because the masters of the universe that run Wall Street are never wrong about anything. Take, for example, Forbes contributor, Peter Cohan.
Please.
In the last two weeks of April, Cohan wrote four pieces about Apple: "7 Reasons Apple is More Doomed Than You Think" (which the Macalope took on at the time and was about as dumb as you might expect), "5 Keys To Apple's Earnings Report" (a moderately straightforward "what to look for" piece), "Is Apple the Next Dell?" (seriously) and "Samsung Trouncing Apple".

It is, of course, a given that the iPhone is falling behind, right? Sure, it is. (Just play along.) The only question left to answer, therefore, is why is it falling behind? And who would we turn to to answer that question than Mike Elgan?
“Why the iPhone Is Falling Behind” (no link, but tip o’ the antlers to Brian Whitney)
Apple haters, Android geeks and misinformed Wall Street analysts will tell you that Apple’s iPhone is falling behind because Apple can’t innovate anymore.

What is the world coming to when the Macalope can’t muster up some good old-fashioned indignation? Whether it’s his softer side manifesting itself or that big lunch he ate making him sleepy, he just can’t get that worked up over comments made by our fine frigid friends in Waterloo.
“In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore,” Heins said in an interview yesterday at the Milken Institute conference in Los Angeles. “Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model.”
