That does seem cool in concept but when I put my laptop to sleep, I do so to conserve battery not for it to suck up battery by doing all that.

Fair enough :) Bad example with the Google share price and point taken with value / # of shares. You are correct with #3. I know Apple is worth is significantly higher than Google, I just think that gap will close (Google will raise, Apple

I just don't want to trade one set of problems for another. Some of the Mountain Lion annoyances are small and fixable (Gatekeeper) but they add up to be just plain annoying. I haven't messed with it much but their limitation on subfolders

That's probably true too. I think that Apple's smartphone and computer market share will slowly decline in favor of other comparable options.

Lion to Mountain Lion. I'm not that far behind and I think it's fair to expect a product which has been available for quite some time and shipped with my brand new laptop should be more stable and lived up to hype. That being said, perhaps

I meant with my experience with the MacBook Air. It's fair enough to say that every major product (software or hardware) has issues that need fixed but I had hoped with Lion it already would have been.

IMO, Apple has lost it's touch just as they almost won me over along with thousands of Android fan boys with the iPhone 5. I bought the latest 13" MacBook Air the day it came out. I was impressed by the form factor but that's about it. The

I suppose I should clarify - my paying (target) customers would be the restaurants/bars but their patrons would be the ones using it. So, I'd consider anyone who goes out to eat to be the users. I do recognize there are two perspectives: 1.

I agree and that's the reason for my hesitation. Yes, I have ideas that would make it better than theirs. They just have a lot of time and money in their favor already. That being said, I know personalized and better support is worth a lot.

I do believe in the end I'd have a better product but they have months or possibly years on me when it comes to design and money. How hard is that uphill battle? When is there TOO much competition?

And, as someone mentioned in the comments, make sure you document functionality it should have. If you blindly say "I want an app that tracks your workouts" it leaves much ambiguity. You must say "I want an app that tracks runs, pushups and
