Ive is staring me into submission. I almost feel obligated to go buy an Apple product now.
A hilarious take, I must admit.
Right on the money!

There is no reason at all! This is why short term investing is impossible. Price fluctuations are like flocks of birds, with hedge funds at the lead.
"Apple stock is significantly more volatile than its earnings and innovation stream," said Daniel Ernst, analyst with Hudson Square Research. "And yet the wind blows slightly from the south instead of the east one particular morning and the stock is down 6 percent."
"It makes no sense. There are lines around the block for their products all around the world," he added.

I think they should impose a random 5-20 min delay on all trades.
Mansield cheap shot
Gee, that's a cheap shot. Is Schiller exactly skinny? Any other Apple employees you want to poke fun at for stupid reasons?
A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
So mind your manners.

Yeah, there are a lot of theories out in the wild about the future of Apple. Nobody know's the future, and so nobody took anybody for a ride, especially if they bought in at $85 per share. People need to take responsibility for their decisions and not blame others for the choices they make. The choice you made in selecting your name for this forum speaks volumes about your own motives. You will ultimately reap what you sow. So enjoy spewing your poison while you can. To me you are laughable.
Very well stated. I could not have said it better myself, and you will have to take my word on that.
Say what you want, I for once didn't bite when the stock was at ~700 about it going to $1000 as few pundits were enthusiastically claiming. And yes, they did take a few people along for a ride with their predictions and anal-ysis.
I dont want OSX to be a touch screen OS. I want iOS to have a file system and maybe themes. OSX is great the way it is.
Theory: Mansfield came back to work on wireless charging.
Cook continues to refer to Mansfield's area as "Silicone and Wireless". Do we really think he came out of retirement and is rededicating his life to screw around with chips and wireless radios?

It's all good as long as "increased collaboration" still means opposing views are encouraged.
Steve Jobs was known for making decisions on topics he didn't understand, based greatly on how hard someone or their group argued their position. In other words, the squeaky wheel often got the grease, as the saying goes.
Seems to have worked out pretty well.

Yeah because the Maps experience is just fantastic.
Yeah because the iOS App store experience is just fantastic.
Yeah because sorting app reviews to read some of the more honest negative reviews experience is just fantastic.
Yeah cos they fired the guy responsible for those
Hence the management shake up.
And you claim to know what will happen next. Must be nice. Can I borrow that crystal ball when you are done with it?
It doesn't take a crystal ball buddy to know apple won't hit $1000 any time soon, as it didn't take a crystal ball to assume people were taking other people along for the proverbial ride when they were touting $1000 apple stock prices a few months ago. It's called an informed opinion based on how well attuned one is to the market in question. Of course it's not 100% probability, but then pretty much nothing is in this life.

Okay buddy, but from long, hard experience as an investor (including 15+ years in AAPL) I've learned to not make predictions one way or another. This so-called "touting" is in fact what the stock analysts do for their livings. They are professional guesstimators. You don't have to like it, anymore than you have to like trees, grass, or the sky.
For many, many years few analysts even followed AAPL and fewer yet knew anything about the company. Consequently Apple flew under the radar and performed much better than nearly any analyst predicted. Today the company is followed by nearly every financial company on the planet (insert shock and surprise here: _____). The result is many voices saying many different things, with none of them holding the keys to the financial kingdom, as many are erroneously convinced that they do.
The obsessive-compulsive disorder that so many have in reaction to analysts forecasts is the unhealthy thing going on here. A wise investor tunes out the noise and looks for the signal.
Indeed they were - but two wrongs don't make a right. It's unfortunate that minorities and women were denied opportunities in the past, but that doesn't mean one should pick someone who belongs to a minority and/or is a woman over a white male only because of their race and gender. It should be based purely on their qualifications. So if you have a latino woman who happens to be one of the best in her field, by all means she should be hired. But if she's less skilled than another applicant who happens to be a white male, then she shouldn't be hired.
Of course this doesn't just apply to companies' hiring practices. Take medical school admissions for example: Based on published statistics from the past few admissions cycles, an African American woman with a 3.2 GPA and 28MCAT is more likely to get accepted into medical schools than an Asian American (male or female) with a 3.6GPA and 32MCAT... All in the name of diversity. I don't think that can be justified.
And for the record I'm not white, though I am male.
What I can not understand is that even if Tim has given Scott a warning or an ultimatum, that Scott did not change and got fire.
Another point is that I have hear 2 versions: Tim fired Scott and Scott resigned. I think he was fired.
The last point is that Scott was the father os iOS, he was "in" from the NeXT years, how could Tim not make it work? I think this is the only that matters to me, how could Tim don't make it work.

Given the credentials of Scott as you mentioned, guess is, he got way over his shoulders and felt that he can't be touched. Tim had to bring him to the ground to face reality.
They're not properly integrated in Google Maps either.
If overweight-related illnesses kill him prematurely, this would also be a significant loss for Apple. This is not fun to make fun of his weight, but there's a right to feel concerned about his health. Oh well, Apple must still have a failover plan as it had when Jobs passed away.Hey, at least he's a happy guy, leave him alone!
