    Hold on now. Perhaps Icahn came in, hung around, made some noises, backed off at the right time and purely by accident, but Cook has gone a fair way towards meeting Icahn's demands ($90B in repurchases + enhanced dividends, instead of $150B in a repurchase that Icahn wanted). Not that I am suggesting that was necessarily the motivation for Apple, but it does seem like too much of a coincidence.

     

    I am glad that Cook decided to increase the shareholder payout without taking on more debt (keeps the powder dry). The stock split -- despite the fact that, at one level, it's a cosmetic move -- was a terrific.

    It's already 2/3 its goal; like last time I expect it 10 times it's current bid.

    I dunno. The Mac Cafe would be a pretty bodacious place to hang with my crew, compadre.


    Very nice concept art. Maybe better than the reality?

    It would be exciting if there was a way for regular (i.e. not rich) people like me to enter a lottery draw to win an hour with Tim. He'd probably get a more interesting conversation too.

    That's an excellent idea. Have a $100 ticket sale and lottery. Could also raise a lot of money

    Bad idea. A lot of Fandroids and Sammy employees/paid endorsers could enter and win. Too risky.

    Better if it was a raffle rather than auction/bid. At least give the little guy a chance not just who has the most money and bids the highest.
