I am quite sure that virtually all flight attendants dread having to ask recalcitrant bozos like you to follow the rules. You should show them basic courtesy. They are not on a power trip. They are just doing their jobs.

Even a high school accounting student knows that capital expenditures have little immediate effect on margins because they are (duh!) "capitalized", that is, recorded as "assets" and recognized as expenses only gradually over the estimated useful li…

The headline of this article has it backwards. Apple has dumped Samsung as a supplier. Since when does a supplier dump a customer? Samsung is simply announcing that Apple is in the process of reducing its purchases with a view toward eventually e…

My guess is that the single most significant factor in the slowness of Apple's China retail rollout is their likely refusal to pay bribes. Other companies, such as Walmart (in Mexico) and Las Vegas Sands (in China/Macau), have shown no such scrup…

The Motley Fool is just that: a motley fool. The value of APPL stock will rise or fall based on its earnings, not because some bozo at the Motley Fool wants to say something provocative in an attempt to drive traffic to his website. As anyone with…

I do not want or need dividends. It only subjects me to tax. I own APPL for my retirement, which is many years away. When I need to access the money, I can sell the stock and pay capital gains tax rates, so who needs a dividend? A stock buyback …

Apple does not want or need an imitation of Steve Jobs for its CEO. The Board has quite wisely made its decision by choosing a very low key, coldly rational and brilliant business strategist, Tim Cook, to lead the Company for the next ten years. T…

I recently finished reading Isaacson's biography of Einstein and I can tell you that the personalities of Jobs and Einstein were indeed remarkably similar. Both were iconoclasts who defied the reigning orthodoxies of their respective fields and rel…

Please buy back shares instead. I do not want to pay taxes on the dividends! Just give me capital appreciation!

[QUOTE=Dimwit;1890594]Or that Republicans have a monopoly because the Democrats can't string together logical thoughts... . Huh? Democrats can't string together logical thoughts? Where on earth did that come from? The Republicans tell us that…

I suspect that the "clever things" Tim Cook alluded to during the last earnings call was the use of iCloud to eliminate the need for physical synching of the iPhone with a host PC. Because a large portion of phone purchasers in Asian markets have n…

I thought that Apple almost never bought on the spot market. Their NAND supplies come almost entirely from direct, long-term contracts, and thus would have no impact whatsoever on the price of NAND in the spot market. Can someone with more knowled…

Such a move would destroy the ability to run Windows, which for many Mac users is an absolute requirement. This is especially important if Apple intends to continue its push into the enterprise market.

The fact that Apple is making only incremental hardware enhancements reflects the fact that the platform is maturing, and this is not a bad thing. In fact, it would be counterproductive to change the technical specifications just to keep up with fa…

It is ludicrous that the stock of a company that has achieved more than 50% annual compound earnings growth in each of the past five years is trading at a P/E multiple of just 16.7, placing it in the middle of the pack with every Tom, Dick, and Har…

I suspect this move is part of a brilliant strategy to consolidate iTunes, MobileMe, App Store, and the iBook Store into a unified iCloud brand. The name iTunes has become outmoded as it has taken on the role of purveying everything from mobil…

Excellent review, but in your list of apps initially available on the iPad 1 you left out iBooks. Fifty percent of my iPad use is as an e-book reader, for which it shines. The iBooks app is far superior to the Amazon Kindle or other ebook apps. If…

I live in Los Angeles and could not be happier with coverage here. Absolutely solid for the 4 years I've been a customer. Never drops a call. When I've travelled to San Francisco and NYC I have had no problems either. I think the bad publicity A…
