Seriously disappointed Apple is appearing at a Goldman Sachs conference. Goldman Sachs was one of the financial firms responsible for the 2008 economic collapse, and has not been held responsible by the SEC.
Having the Apple name mentioned in the same sentence as GS tarnishes the Apple name.
Hope Tim took a long shower after being at GS...
Tim may be a great CEO but he's a boring speaker. Apple needs someone else to do product events.
The investors don't seem to mind his speaking skills. The stock went up about 5 points since he started talking.

Waiting for the "Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs" comments...
Price is rarely the most important thing. A cheap product might sell some units. Somebody gets it home and they feel great when they pay the money, but then they get it home and use it and the joy is gone. The joy is gone every day that they use it until they aren't using it anymore. You don't keep remembering "I got a good deal!" because you hate it!
I liked the "other platform" or whatever when referring to Android.
Can you read ? I said "product events" not investor relations.
I heard a guy who seems comfortable in his role as CEO. Made a joke or two and had good inflection in his voice. Apple is in very capable hands.
Which this isn't... If you're determined to go with that line of thinking how about waiting for an actual product event and seeing how he does rather than a technology / business conference? Just a thought
A thought on the China / Supply Chain thing that's been bugging me for a while but Tim's announcement today drove home. Once Apple have their house in order (and be in no doubt they will, that's very clearly their objective right now and they're way too big a contract for suppliers to walk away from) and all this information is independently audited and published on a regular basis... what's to stop them just going "Right, we've done our part... how about you Samsung / Microsoft / Every Single Major Electronics Manufacturer?". That would surely be one hell of a marketing message if they decided to use it.
