I still think it remains to be seen where Apple's final manufacturing point will be in the US. Union labor is expensive ... even more so in California. Any company - even one with the amount of money that Apple has - is going to be looking at the…

This is likely the beginning of a long, slow march to the gallows for Dell ... much like RIM (now BlackBerry). They've amassed a large following over the years and volume sales to companies, government agencies, and others have given them a large …

I've been an apple user and customer since 1995. I've grown up with the company - their products have enriched my life. I've followed the rumors, the speculation, and the stock price from the $30's to the $700 high. Finally went long somewhere ar…

Sweet. Time to buy more stock and make more money. Thanks, WSJ!!!

Currently, the unlimited minutes would cost you $70 for the first line and $50 for each additional line. On a family plan, you can pay $30 a month for unlimited text with mobile to any mobile calling. Doing some math, what we see is that AT&…

My wife and I are on a FamilyTalk 700 plan with 2 iPhones (1 Unlimited and 1 2GB plan) and unlimited texting with unlimited M2M. It costs us $175 / month after taxes and fees. People value simplicity and are willing to pay a premium for it - all…

I've read and read and read stories about this, but I still don't get what's going on. Maybe I'm just not made to understand the intricacies of anti-trust law. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I believed happened. Publishers were s…

This will be an interesting case as it works its way through the Chinese courts. On one hand, China needs a large company like Apple to keep employing its workers and injecting money and capital into its economy. On the other, China is nationalist…

CNN (and others) have recently picked up on these stories to hit an emotional nerve with the American public about working conditions for people who assemble Apple products in China. Apple is a true American story of humble beginnings and spectacul…

As much as we would all like this to be a black and white issue, it just isn't. Do working conditions in Chinese factories suck? Yeah, probably. Do those factories churn out millions of Apple products a year? Yes. Do they church out millions of Sa…

I've been a Mac user since my parents bought a PowerMac 6500 when I was 10 years old. I still remember the excitement of opening the box and watching my father set it up - along with a Color StyleWriter Printer and a 56K modem. AppleInsider was …
