  • Apple patent filing reveals work on circular displays for Apple Watch

    A Round faced Watch would be Nice.

  • Apple's health hires geared towards sharing, interpreting data, including new Watch apps

    Apple Health is the future.  It is now.  Apple is missing the boat.
    We need this fast.
    I have been using the Health App since shortly after it came out.
    It is not perfect.  I could not easily print the data, show or give it to my MD's.  Lacking these basic functions. Should be able to export it to FileMaker, Excel or Numbers with a click not a "magic act".  I need the sleep data.  There are millions of people who have sleep difficulties that the watch could assist with , but the battery does not last long enough to go over night without a recharge.
    Like how hard is it to do this from the Mac, iPad or Phone - it is not.
    It would be useful to add some other data points - user defined. 
    Example:  When I check by BP, I get the heart rate automatically.  I need a 3rd field for heart rate when I check my BP.  
    Who is doing this work ?  Apparently they quit or were fired and the new people are confused and not very good at this.

    The Health App has recently changed and it is not a change for the better.  It is much more difficult to use.   I don't care it they offer an option to group the data into several areas, but it does not make sense for me or my MD's.   This is complete waste of time to a user what has been done.  Don't force these groupings on me or the MD's.

    I have already selected what I wanted to show in the "dashboard" and now it has been rearranged and requires more "taps" to find what I want.   I am not a happy camper.  Mac User since before 1984.  Obviously who ever "rev'ed" it last, doesn't have a need to use the app.  My MD's want to see everything I have selected and been tracking - not to  have to watch me fiddle around looking for a complete list.  It is like the new Coke machines - they slow down the dispensing of the product.  3-4 clicks to select a Raspberry Coke.  Once I got used to it, Coke marketing (idiots) changed the programing of the machine.  Not an Improvement Coke - Read this Apple - Keep it simple.  Make it work fast.

    Suggestion:  Read my first paragraph closely , also, someone needs to make it easy to integrate the other step trackers' data, i.e., fitbit.  I am going to get an Apple Watch, but darn, how hard is it to do this ?  Not very hard.

  • Berkshire Hathaway increases Apple position to $1.46B

    And in the early days of Apple when no one on Wall Street wanted any of AAPL, I did a similar thing.  I have sold & repurchased several times.  I have not bought a Tesla S, but don't have to work.  Yes, it goes up and down.  Better to buy low and buy some more when you can.  For go the fast bucks.  Icahn & the other "Investment" managers are scamming the system.

    Go BRK.  Keep the stock please & reinvest the dividends.  I only disagree with those who want to give away the farm or the benefits to those who want to beat the system by being leeches.  I don't mind welfare or aid, but when they have a better car, cell phone, or free housing & utilities, they have no interest in working.  I see it every day in South Georgia. Parasites that are beyond what you might even imagine.  At what point do we take them off the system ?  I don't see an end in sight here because the local government thinks they should grow, grow, grow and tax, tax, tax.  I hope Trump or someone who is wise to this goes into office and there is some kind of freeze on government spending + an automatic reduction of an acceptable amount to cut the desire of government to grow.  There is no incentive for government to shrink or for people to look for ways to get off welfare.  i am tired of paying for the free ride.

    If you live in a "grant city", that is what I call cities that are based upon free grants, I feel sympathy for you as well as for myself.  If Hillary goes into office, I am leaving.  Passport is ready.

  • Apple refuses to back GOP convention because of Trump politics

    And Apple wants me to support them by continuing to own it's Stock & Products.  It is time for me to buy several more computers, but I may just wait and see how things work out for the largest stock in my portfolio.  I am disappointed in Apple & their position not to help Donald Trump and have supported them since prior to 1984.  Failure to help Mr Trump benefits the Clinton Campaign.  So what if Mr Trump has a lot to learn.  The Clinton Machine, as well as both Parties have milked the system for generations.  Washington is full of do nothings living off the system.  Neither party wants change and they are happy with either party winning because they still get to do as they want and stay in Washington.  Do the politicians (and Apple) not realize that the people are speaking and they really do want change and it is definitely not Obama or Clinton. 

    Just trace the money that the Clintons got from the Clinton Foundation.  They are as crooked as it gets and are hoodooing the People.  Donors gave to the Canadian Charity so it would not be traced to them. The Canadian Charity bundled it and gave most of it to the Clinton Foundation.  The Clinton Foundation gave some to the needy and kept the rest (most) for its own use.   Hardly a charitable entity when you keep most of the $'s for personal gain.  Just how did the Clintons get so much money when they claim they had none when they got out of the White House.  Why did the Obama's give up their law license ?  To avoid having it taken from them.  Neither are members of The Bar Association.  He is a sham and we The People are The Sheep.  

    And to think Apple is supporting the Clintons, Bernie and not being willing to help Mr Trump who has single handedly rise out of now where to claim the nomination for the Republican party.  Mr Trump's name was not even on the Straw Ballot the GOP took at all the GOP Meetings at the Grassroots level. He was never supposed to beat the establishment - instead of beating them, he trounced (Trumped) them.  Party is over Washington and you scum sucking liberals.  

    Kinda reminds me of Apple who rose out of the Ashes to be a world class company with all the $'s.  Now Apple has apparently forgotten their place.  Remember, if you are #1, there is no place to go except down.  Sorry Apple, someone you do not expect is going to eat your lunch.  Get off the stick and innovate and produce or fail.
