Reminder: Einhorn is suing to ultimately get the vote unbundled, not to get his preferred share idea done. So much misinformation around this on prior threads.

I usually think that the best advertisements are the ones where you don't need to make reference to your competitors (hence why I think so many of the Apple ads are top notch). But this one is well done in my opinion. Comes off as an almost playfu…

If you read the Greenlight press release, the lawsuit IS NOT suing Apple to force them to proceed with his preferred shares concept. The lawsuit IS suing to get Apple to "unbundle" the vote on Apple's decision to remove pref shares from al…

Putting the illegality of it aside for a second, I would interpret it as demoralizing for the average Apple employee. When Apple announces products they often cite the time, intelligence and hard work that employees put into making top-notch prod…

I'm curious how many users actually get a lot of value out of Siri. It's not a bad idea, and it has certainly gotten better (and will continue to do so). But at the current stage...do a lot of you guys use it frequently and get much out of it? …

Claiming lost profits seems reasonable to me. The artist has effectively lost the opportunity to market or license this image to another company as it is now recognized as an Apple image. Not sure if a mistake on Apple's part or just a conscious d…

Honest question: Why do so many people (unless ALL of you are shareholders) want to see other OS's or companies fail? Strong competitors fuel good products across all the companies. I think my iPhone and iPad are exceptional products, but I hope…
