I would agree with what you are saying if this was due to market in 6 months. Otherwise, given the slope of battery technology improvement and the obvious economic benefits from improved batteries, I would estimate that in 5 years electric cars wil…

Imagine a 50% reduction in insurance costs, time to do work on your commute, or play games, or read a book. The average American has what a 30 minute commute? Twice a day, times 5 to 10 times a week. This adds up to some serious hours of producti…

This will cost Apple money from interest and arbitrage because the payments made in Swiss Francs will cost more to redeem if the payments are made in Dollars. Over time the Swiss Franc is expected to continue to strengthen against the Dollar. I gu…

One feature of the building that needs more reporting is the isolation system that will protect the building from earthquake damage. There are 700 1600 lb ball earrings under the building which are designed to allow the building to move 4.5 feet in…

The tax rate Apple has favored is 6.5% of funds repatriated. I would be satisfied with ten percent with minor requirements that the funds not be used in executive compensation. The other shoe that is about to drop is the European Union trying to c…

I am sure that Apple is a good investment right now. Mainly because they are the only market entrant who has a product that they control all the components of. Intel and Microsoft have already gone separate ways so now there is no one else with t…

The scope and flow of the Apple product range and its effect on the daily habits of billion of customers is just mindblowing. The only bit of history that was left out was Steve jobs talking about his vision for a connected living room back in 2001…

How do you find out if you are in this class of lottery winners? I would love to use this to buy a new macbook pro for christmas!:D

Gatorguy, I have been impressed that you generally don't try to play fanboy, and you raise the discussion over all, but I do think on this one you are missing the trees for looking at the forest. Why can't Google aim for a large market with it's ow…

I would like to see more information about how long this 35% increase in research budget has been going on? I suspect it started after Steve Jobs died in 2011. I am glad they have not tried to spend more than this. They already have the sapphire d…

I would guess that Apple has some other new products waiting for the Broadwell ramp. There is a decent possibility that broad well was going to make a new form factor possible.

You are correct about the price following income growth. It is pretty hard for Wall Street or anyone to pass up low PE and solid growth. The only reason Apple needs to spend money on it's own stock is it has been so successful for so long, it has …

The last chart really jumps out of the best page screaming why!!?? Why can't Apple make an upgrade able computer? How many people who care about gaming as a use case would love be to have just one PCI slot to add a video card to! Look at the lack o…

It is more complicated than you imply. Apple has to use Samsung's recipe for making the actual chip. There are very significant interplays between the chip and the foundry that effect the quality of the product. Intel still has the best foundry. …

And Apple will benefit from Samsung's well run foundry and research in electronics. This is exactly what the market wants. Apple to continue to make innovative products. Samsung to make good parts and a few knock off me too devices for the Android…

I think you mean they would give up one nut for the profits that follow behind the loyalty. I may be missing some of the really great leadership out there, but it seems like most CEO's would rather make money than do the business the right way. I …

The word is that the texas FAB that Apple paid Samsung to build is currently undergoing renovations to prepare for 16nm development so it is offline and that pretty much tells you that Apple is using the supplier from Taiwan. Switching process syst…

Actually, judge Koh seems to be very honest and straight forward. Her point that a second settlement should equal at least the prior settlement is impossible to refute. The second class shows that the activity was widespread and therefore more dam…

I can promise you that AT&T does not do this for its customers. They invented the on hold and layers of control just to keep customer's from bothering them. AT&T: we are now offering combined billing for all your customer service needs. …

We certainly don't have a fair taxation system today. Rather than give the government more ways to collect money unfairly maybe we could simply make the current system less complex and less easy to game. Better government is certainly better than …
