Currently at a P/E of under 13; analysts projecting ~30% Y/Y profit gains when Apple reports 10/27. Cash continues to pour in. They're dooomed!

My favorite conspiracy theory for why the new ATV has an A8 is that it was planned to be released at this year's WWDC. Thus the obvious ATV shape in the conference logo: Why that didn't come to be is anyone's guess- probably hit a snag with one…

Did anyone else see this fuzzy analyst rumor yesterday? Quote: It is very likely that Apple is working on some new device with the following characteristics: A device which is 27? to 50? Curved Glass somewhat resembling a car windshield or …

One potentially useful (and low cost - zero, that is) resource is courses from Stanford's CS department through iTunes U. They released one in January that is for Swift beginners that have some previous coding experience. They have lecture video (wh…

FWIW, Microsoft reported too: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/microsoft-reports-biggest-quarterly-loss-ever-2015-07-21-164854246 Revs down 5.1%. Largest quarterly loss ever, at $3.2B, down from a $4.6B profit last year. But, taking into accou…

I think it's also worth noting that this is despite efforts at carriers to push Android phones. I was in the local T Mobile store for awhile the other day, switching from another carrier, and I watched a family come in. The daughter was saying her i…

What boggles my mind is that some folks (including some Finns, apparently) still think that Apple killed Nokia. Instead, it was an inside job (of sorts), I think. They never shoulda hired that Vidkun Quisling dude as CEO.

$10 a month was not terribly compelling when their competition had free versions. But $15 for up to 6 family members? Now, that's interesting....

Pity if true. And if the NYT is reporting it, it's probably true.

This news item reminds me of comments made by Thomas Penfield Jackson while he was judge in the Microsoft antitrust case: Quote: The code of tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount…

Iridium satellites?! Dear God, is someone still operating them? I thought their sole purpose was carrying buckets of (née) Motorola cash into space, so as to burn up on rentry and illuminate the egos of the CEOs responsible...

Twenty _million_? It's almost kind of funny - this is like Apple at the 5 and dime, no?

I think it's slightly amusing that some articles are painting this as some sort of sneaky move where Google is going to jiu-jitsu Apple and steal the Apple Watch's thunder and/or profits. To me, it's just one less reason to consider an Android pho…
