Q:
Что значит What do you mean by "it's no contest" in the following sentence? Why do you think a author used colon? Why do you think a author used capital T after "C'mon"? "It's no contest: Apple - versus, say Exxon - is likable. C'mon, Think different."?
A:
“It’s no contest” means that the winner is obvious - there was never any real competition. In this case, Apple is the clear winner.
The colon is to emphasize that Apple being more likable than a company like Exxon is what the author means by “it’s no contest.” It could have been a period and been correct, but the colon makes the two thoughts feel more connected.
I personally would not capitalize the T after C’mon, but I think the person did that because C’mon is a bit of a throwaway word, so the person is treating “Think” as the real beginning of the sentence.
