That's not entirely true. They did introduce a downgraded mini that couldn't be upgraded through BTO. So, there's that.
Would a $1 billion investment be sufficient to figure out how to put more than 16GB in a laptop?
Got a tip for us?

Good guess but nope. We are excited to announce we are moving the Mac Mini manufacturing in with the Macpro plant! - Tim
Yeah it really was in trouble today. I mean it dropped like 0.3% and is only up about 27% this year...

Didn't Qualcomm breach their rebate agreement for about $1bn so far? Yes.
Didn't GT misrepresent what they were capable of manufacturing in order to secure and investment and then leave a bunch of shareholders holding the bag? Yes.
Aren't the employees of Imagination free to leave that company? Yes. And didn't Imagination rely way too much on ONE customer to the point where it's ludicrous to insist that Apple should stick with them forever because of their inability to diversify? Yes.
Does Apple owe any of these companies a lifetime subsidy or line of business? Absolutely not.
Now, perhaps hold corporate managers responsible for poor planning before attacking Tim Cook and comparing him to a terrorist. That's an insult to people around the world who actually ARE victimized by such acts. Shame on you.
Who wants to count all of Tim's "Uhhhhhhhh"'s? I don't have the patience.
[doublepost=1493870180][/doublepost]Apple is where they are because they keep secrets. After Microsoft basically stole Mac OS to make Windows 95, Steve was on a mission from God to not reveal what they are doing. It's engrained in their DNA to not announce anything they are working on.

It's true that iPhone sales in China has taken a hit. Now I see more Huawei or Vivo phone than iPhone in Shanghai which was not the case till last year. There are more iPhone 5/5S/Se than 7/7 Plus.
Huh, interesting. Where are these newfangled processors and GPUs he's seeing? Clearly not in any of their computers...

Talking about jobs and investments in the US. That's trumps agenda, probably has to do it to get his precious tax shift and move the cash to the US.
Jim Kramer? journalist? please...
There is an obvious reason Cook goes to Kramer... it's an infomercial! don't you see? all questions are scripted by apple weeks in advance. Kramer is just the time slot.
"GPUs are getting so incredible, their capabilities so incredible"
They are? Looking at the Apple product line, I see no evidence of this.

Nice one-sided argument, Post and run without explainaing anything. Because you know, "Cook" is at fault for all of those things that you just listed.
You seriously brought the QUALCOMM issue into this? Or did you just forget to mention that they actually retracted/breached their rebate terms and policy conditions? But, I'm sure Apple is completely at fault for this. And it's not a two-way street, am I right?
GT Advanced you say? Aside from the fact they weren't even forthcoming what they could actually manufacture and develop. GT put themselves in a corner without a way out. That's called self-infliction. But it must be Apple's Doing for their demise.

That's exactly what many said last year when he was on Mad Money... and since? Stock up 60%
Completely agree. If you have the will power , and want to loose weight, you will, the watch is just a counter. Loosing weight is not a gimmick , it's a way of life. Frankly if you want to use tools that help, they are on the iPhone, and the HR is poor on the AW anyway
I guarantee they are.
Been behind the scenes for on air interviews and they def get talking points and questions to ask and not ask. If you deter you get black listed. Have to play ball to get these interviews again.
It does make you wonder: While Tim is doing X Y and Z around the world, who is running Apple?

I keep seeing the word "liberal" thrown around like it's a bad thing.
"willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas."
"favourable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms."
"(in a political context) favouring individual liberty, free trade, and moderate political and social reform."
Those all seem like very good qualities.
H1B scabs will probably take 50% of the jobs at half the rate an American worker would consider acceptable.
