The answer is 0 if the market you are selling to has not been addressed yet by Microsoft. I would guess that this is the same price Microsoft is getting for Android on ARM. This move is actually the first real breath of air back into the Wintel pa…

I would say that they finally have someone who has enough humility to honestly attack their problems head on. It says something that it took firing the last CEO jus to get to the point where they are immediately responding to market forces. Apples…

Apples eco system is vertical not horizontal. This means Apple is not under the pressures you are describing. Apple learned a long time ago what it takes to keep a platform running. You might as well try to teach an alligator to bite better. App…

Why is there so little respect for the rule of law in this comment section? Apple 2.0 had already reported that the judges questions made it sound like they were going to limit the scope of Bromwich's requests not his existence as a special prosecu…

The number that I was surprised by was the cash flow. I was unaware of the specific definition for that and looked it up. This is the total earnings plus expenses such as depreciation that are taken out as expenses. I think this is a better measu…

The really important thing to remember about Steve Jobs and Apple is the strategic importance of destroying your own best products. The secret that Apple carries is this willingness. The number of innovative products that Apple has made obsolete i…

All I really want to see out of Apple over the next 5 years is 15-20% growth. Consistent growth is Apples current challenge. I would expect no more from Apple than this mainly because they remain supply constrained. Supplying the market with 200 …

I hope Apple wins this, not because I want to spend more to buy books. I simply don't want a company that has no profit motive, Amazon, to put people out of business who do have one. I don't hate Amazon, but clearly they are using predatory pricin…

I would expect that Apple would stock at least 30 units per store. That would be over 12,000 machines to stock their stores. In high volume stores which Apple has quite a few of, the total could come to 50 machines per store. One other problem th…

I can tell you from personal experience who is getting Chromebooks. It is parents for their children who need a computer and do not have the money for 4 macbook pros. My daughter received a $200 Acer Chromebook. Students need a keyboard to learn …

As long as the pe remains below 15 it is attractive. I would never want to jiggle the hand on the wheel when so much is going right. Apple shareholders of over 10 years have every reason to expect the price to drop by half on a regular basis. Thi…

I didn't say that your lack of software ownership was the right situation. I agree that it is nothing more than leaving control of your property with the seller after the sale. It is not the way the laws in this country should be written, but is t…

The problem with saying jailbreaking has nothing to do with stealing is human nature. All locking a phone does is put up a virtual wall between the customer and the merchandise. Yes this means that certain products cannot be added to the phone tha…

You also garnish wages and trust me if it happens to you then you will realize that garnish has a second meaning: "to take without consent".

Standards Essential Patents or SEP's are also regularly filed for by the members of the committee that chooses the standards. Many are filed for immediately after the committee commits to one standard over another. They are a necessary part of maki…

I don't think there is any equivalent in Korea for the type of change in legal proceedings that is going on here in America. In Samsung's experience, all courts are bought and paid for. The Judges in this case are going to feel it is more importan…

Remember Kids, never mind the man behind the curtain this is the all powerful and wise Oz, not some idiot analyst. Apple's financials have shown the traditionally strong december Quarter as the 1st Q of the financial year. 3rd Q just ended 4 days…

I believe that 150 Billion is too much, but not 100 B if it is limited by the PE of the stock . There is no reason to buy rapidly above 15 PE . I would use 25 % of cash earnings each Q from over seas to buy back stock between 15 and 20 PE. I would…

leavingthebig said: "Is Apple legally required to speak to analysts each quarter? If not, the company could make this quarter it's last. Even better would be for the company to announce last quarter was the last time." I think one problem here is …

I think one of the more strategic issues that the 5c solves for apple is the ease of construction and the missing costs associated with repairing and replacing out of spec phones. The iPhone 5 was the hardest phone to manufacture that Foxconn has e…
