Cramer, Pendola and Apple's Two Worlds Colliding

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Thanks to TheStreet's Jim Cramer and Debra Borchardt for the mention here. Cramer riffed on the latest Apple (AAPL) controversy Monday afternoon. But I must question Cramer.

Interestingly, there's nothing in my contract that says I have to agree with everything Cramer says just because he founded TheStreet. In fact, the guy has been nicest to me when I'm feisty.

Cramer's jealous of my wind blown hair. I could never pull off a shiny dome like he does because I've got an unsightly, lumpy noggin. So it's all good. At least in that respect, we spar on a level playing field.

On one hand, Jim and I agree -- Apple needs another OMG product. I've been writing about that since Steve Jobs passed. For a while, that train of thought made me quite bearish near-term and long-term.
