Trump says Tim Cook complained to him about the EU
Sure, you can speculate anyway you like. But since Trump is such a confirmed liar, there's no credible evidence that it happened.
I think it could be mostly true. CEOs are kind of like dictators so dealing with real dictators is often more comfortable for them than dealing with democratic governments, even if they might not like the dictator personally or agree with all of their policies.DAalseth said:

Cook says Apple wasn't first with AI, but will be the best
If I’m not mistaken, Nvidia are the only ones to have earned any meaningful profit from AI. It’s easy to imagine Apple offering AI as a subscription service and thereby become the first profitable AI company after Nvidia.Wesley Hilliard said:Still waiting for someone to explain *how* Apple is behind in AI.

Trump calls tech CEOs to June meetings, orders overhaul of US government IT
I'm with you. I re-read the AI article and I can't tell what LoneStar88 is so touchy about. You didn't same anything negative about the president, but you STILL hit a nerve and seemed to anger him. Kind of peculiar!Mike Wuerthele said:
What are you even talking about? We didn't say anything about the program other than it exists. The author didn't criticize the president at all, not with even one word.LoneStar88 said:More of the obligatory negative references to our President. Nothing but surmise, and totally uncalled for. And nothing like continually dredging up old news to try to prop up the propaganda mill. Good job, AI.
This is a new initiative, and obviously NOTHING has been determined yet as to what will be implemented or what any company's specific involvement will be.
But cheap politics certainly don't have to be a factor in any contracts written.
I'd say both Trump and Cook are pragmatists, so this is Cook's chance to sell his products/services/computing philosophies, etc. to the federal government, whose money is just as good as anyone's. And what about IBM's likely involvement as an important Apple enterprise partner. This could be a choice opportunity for Apple.
Major contracts would also mean jobs creation—right here in River City (USA)!
You liberals need to get off the pity pot and get with the program, if not fully on the Trump Train, because America WILL be great again with our without your help.Also, speaking as somebody from inside the beltway, this will generate exactly zero new jobs -- and I have no problem with that. Federal IT sourcing and contracting is brutally inefficient, and if any efficiency can be eked out that's good, but will literally cost hundreds if not thousands of contractors their jobs.

Apple refuses to back GOP convention because of Trump politics
Opposing Donald Trump is not being extremist. Trump is the only thoroughly indecent, unqualified person to be nominated for the presidency in our lifetimes. I think it's safe to assume the Board of Directors supported Tim Cook in this decision.apple ][ said:
I love Apple's products, and I'm one of the biggest fans around, and me using anything else is pretty much inconceivable, but if Apple keeps towing the line of political partisanship and extremism, then I would definitely have to reconsider my options in the future.

Tim Cook to host fundraiser for House Speaker Paul Ryan, other Republicans
What's your source or evidence that the FBI declared these warnings to be Islamaphobia? I haven't heard that and I've been paying attention.Lib-Simulator said:

Apple's competition is going to have a tough year in 2016
Why do you read them and then comment? They're easy to avoid. Do something with your time that you enjoy.
These long, poorly written articles full of bitterness, that praise Apple to the heavens, while jousting against imaginary critics are tiresome, unfair, and uninteresting once you realize how biased they are. Please stop. Someone knock that chip off Daniel's shoulder so he can write properly.

Apple Vision Pro is already a win for Apple & consumers
Nice article, very well written. The only thing I would add is that this is definitely V1 which is appropriate for innovators, but it won’t be ready for the mass market until later, perhaps V5 or V10. This is a brand new platform and it looks like Apple will dominate it. Today’s Vision Pro is like a newborn baby that can do very little but has enormous potential.

Tim Cook explains why Apple was present at Trump tech summit
I agree with frac, Tim rebuts very well before the comment was even written. And "deplorable writing skills"? Hmm. I think Cook's prose is fine ... clear, direct and easy to understand.frac said:
I'll let TC do the rebuttal.mdriftmeyer said:
Steve Jobs was a life long Democrat who gladly helped the Obama election campaign. He was also a long time friend of the Clintons. I lost a lot of respect for Tim Cook this week; but probably more now with his deplorable writing skills.9secondkox2 said:And Steve Jobs attended Obamas meeting with all the tech companies. No explanation necessary.
"I've never found being on the sideline a successful place to be. The way that you influence these issues is to be in the arena. So whether it's in this country, or the European Union, or in China or South America, we engage. And we engage when we agree and we engage when we disagree. I think it's very important to do that because you don't change things by just yelling. You change things by showing everyone why your way is the best. In many ways, it's a debate of ideas."
Deplorable to think otherwise.

Wall Street reacts to Apple's strong Services and Wearables growth [u]
Of course in terms of the recent history of Apple’s P/E, you’re correct that 21 is high, so you may be correct in your bearish assessment. But it’d be great if you could contextualize your concern about 21 and explain why it’s high when we realize Microsoft and Google are at 27, Facebook is 31, and Amazon is 78. If 21 is high for Apple, aren’t these other values even higher for the competition? Why is this?blastdoor said:It is a huge deal that Apple is showing an ability to grow revenue from something other than the iPhone.
In the short term, though, the stock seems a bit pricey. Since 2007, I've had the impression that when the P/E goes above 17, AAPL is likely due for a correction. Currently, the P/E is almost 21.
On the other hand... one reason Wall Street might have been skeptical about AAPL in the past was a concern that they were too dependent on one product. Perhaps if Apple can show revenue+profit growth across multiple products, Wall Street might tolerate a higher P/E.
Still, I suspect that between now and the middle of next year AAPL will experience a noticeable downturn. I'm just not sure when.
