Another Apple marketing blunder. For 3 or 4 million you get in front of 110 million people plus all the follow through on the rollup pages that contain all the videos for super bowl ads. Even if it was 8 million for a minute spot to run this. They…

The bottom line painful truth for stockholders and Cook makes this very clear by his actions is that they don't care about the stock. Cook and his executives have already cashed out their options as soon as they vested, holding very few options or …

New York Times is pathetic. Retraction coming? Probably not

Pretty awesome to have your own terminal. When you have 10's of billions this isn't a bad way to spend it. If given a choice all the haters would take a limo to their private terminal and their G650 private jet. You have to give the google trio p…

Exactly. Apple feels it is doing good enough that they can hold out. China Mobile feels exactly the same. They will push android and other cheap phones all day long. With 700M plus subs they can wait a long time. Samsung is happy to cut cheap de…

On days like this I'm glad I sold all my Apple during the conference call last January. Apple is a great company but it also a 500B market cap company. You have to sustain a lot of dollars and sales constantly at a very high margin to just keep th…

Easy comparison? Understatement. Apple had no imacs to sell last October, November and December when Cook completely blew it for the all important Q4 and holiday season. Could only go up from the goose egg of last year.

I suspect apple will pick up revenue but at what margin? One has to wonder if China Mobile held out and drove a hard bargain and is getting a better price on iphone then others out there and possibly a cut of service revenues which they stated they…

Looks like Target completely sold out of all ipad air offers. I was looking around 8:30am EST and a couple were still available. Wife went to computer to order and all were unavailable. hit refresh on my ipad mini and indeed all unavailable. So …

Too bad apple wasn't buying their stock hand over fist when it was 400 bucks. Epic fail for management. If they had any visibility they should have dove in earlier and with a much bigger buyback over a shorter time period. At 400 they knew ex-cas…

Koh may be the worst judge on the circuit. Reduced damages and a retrial. Samsung admitted to copying Apple. What more do you need. Damages should be all profits made from every phone Samsung has sold with infringing elements.

That stinks. That site was awesome for finding inventory. Not very consumer oriented move by Apple. What rationale do they have for shutting them down? As user above said if they shut them down then apple should build something to do this good a…

Apple does a poor job of marketing itself and its financials. It is its own worst enemy. Icahn is actually trying to help apple with this and if the street is willing to offer shares so low he rightfully feels apple should be buying them hand over …

Not a big deal to any half intelligent investor who understands cash flow and a balance sheet. They actually had to spell this out for people because not only are investors clueless but so are most analysts. I bet more than half of them would neve…

Amazing. They only had a year to prepare. Another holiday of missed potential sales. When mom has to put something under the tree for little johnny and she can't get an ipad she has to get something. Samsung thanks you Tim Cook for another execu…
