Uh oh, a share count war.5,119 shares. How many shares do you own?
PS. I'm interested in seeing if they can have some good sci-fi. Always tough finding enough of that.

More than that. But you should understand better if you have that position.
Uh oh, a share count war.I'm about 11k above that. Do I win? I'm glad I started buying back at $7/share.
I took yours as face value, why not mine? A $1M position is solid, but it’s not like there aren’t other millionaires in the world, right?Sure you doAt any rate, I've labored on this topic long enough. To carry on with you any further would be most indecorous.
Good actors are expensive and Tim Celebrity Cook only photographs with the best of the best.
If Apple gave us what we asked for, they would be out of business decades ago.This isn't the Apple TV service we asked for......
So many things wrong with this statement but I'll simply state that the platform (and presumably the shows) won't launch for months so why would you expect to already have seen ads for them?Im never interested in the shows that I only hear about from here. literally never seen an ad for an apple show or anything
What are you talking about? Netflix is not available in China for example. https://www.saporedicina.com/english/list-of-blocked-websites-in-china/
And yes the internet is mostly blocked in China and I'm not talking about sites that show puppy pictures, I'm talking about serious sites that show serious information.
Also regarding Big band Theory for example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/27/china-censor-big-bang-theory-stream-tv
And you aggressively accuse me of lying.

Yet another subscription service. I already pay for Amazon, Netflix on top of my IPTV service...... ♂️
I am sure you are correct about Netflix programming. My two millennial daughters like more of their shows than I do. I like Patriot Act on Netflix but don't care much for most of their other original shows but I am sure they are targeting a younger demographic. Only time will tell on Apple's venture into original programming. They seem to be shooting for broad appeal with some nostalgia for Gen X (like myself) as well as Sci-Fi, Rom-Com, etc. I agree it is a risk but I remain optimistic it will pay off.The problem I see here is not the ratio but risk. They did not invest a ton of money into recent things they struck out on. The media space is a totally different beast though, as they have tried to previously muscle their way in but failed miserably. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but rest assured, this industry is not concerned about Apple. They are a true underdog.
Netflix programming definitely is a hit/miss, but it’s quite possible you might have different tastes than Netflix’s target demographics.
Did the people who said Apple News+ would fail make fools of themselves or is that going to turn around?

There are way too many streaming services available. I can’t see how they all survive.

Like the people who said the AppleWatch would fail after a difficult start? Like MobileMe that was so broken and was reinvented as iCloud which went on to become a huge success? Like AppleMusic that was riddled with problems and had to be rebooted entirely the following year? Apple has a history of making course corrections and making their products and services eventual hits.
The bottom line is that there is a real problem in the news industry in that people aren't willing to pay for multiple subscriptions (or none at all) and Apple News+ has assembled a model that has the potential to solve that. I wouldn't bet against it becoming a success.
We don't know yet enough about the model AppleTV+ will use to monetize these shows but I suspect Apple is assembling a list of services that together will fall under a single + subscription giving Apple users access to Music, TV, Games, News, and iCloud storage. The TV shows will be a sweetener to get people on board with a subscription that will lead to further sales in Apple hardware and subscriptions to third party services where Apple gets 30%. What they invest in these shows will turn out to be pocket change compared to the return they'll get.
Apple News+ is fundamentally flawed.
If you don't want to support news why pay.
If you do want to support news why pay Apple 50%.
He is, where he was cast as... a “noble savage” from a primitive warrior culture. And again on Frontier, and again of GOT, etc etc etc... and though they did make him security, ahem Worf, at least he wasn’t made to actually hold a spear like Tealc.Yeah, here I was thinking he is Jason Momoa of Stargate Atlantis fame....
News distributors already made more than 50%. That's how it's been for almost the entire history of newspapers. The news stand already makes about half of the price of a paper, the distributor, if it's a third party makes a cut too. Newspapers typically kept less than 30% of the cut of a paper unless they were the ones shipping it to subscribers themselves.
