Apple: The Most Absurd Question About the Company Yet

Tickers in this article: AAPL HPQ P
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- We all screw up on a regular basis.

I called David Einhorn a "hustler" when I probably should have just said he's always hustling. My camerawork on this week's conversation with Pandora (P) co-founder Tim Westergren left a bit to be desired, but majority feedback tells me it wasn't that bad and the content overshadowed my lack of technical prowess by miles.

All of that to say, I think hard before I go after somebody because a.) I want to get it right; b.) I realize I will make mistakes; and c.) nobody's perfect. However, if there was ever a time for a barn-torching, enter the china store like a bull just released from a studio apartment in Spain, this IS it.

There was no context. That's part of the problem. There's no defense -- none whatsoever -- for what Liu said there. Is there a product that can "save" Apple? Is she freaking serious?
