    I was just reading an article today about a new carrier coming to the US with LTE. LightSquared

    Maybe Apple will hook up with them too.

    I agree, Zaky continues to do a great job.

    Pretty close. A bit high on some, and a bit low on others, but that's to be expected.



    Ah, the phone conference is just beginning.

    Mentioned in the earnings thread already... Andy was 5% high on EPS, which is actually quite a bit. Apple beat the street by 13%, which in the way these things often play out, is not a smash performance.

    I think it's pretty good. No one ever has a smash performance, except for dumb luck.

    I mean for Apple, not Andy. We've seen Apple beat the street by 20% or more in the past, a real blowout, which is pretty much the territory Andy was predicting.

    For Apple, yes.



    And look at their forward predictions. $18 billion next quarter and $3.44 EPS. That's pretty hot for an Apple prediction.
