Apple should continue to have mask mandates in its stores. Apple bungled this directive in June, and they seem to be screwing it up again. Going to the Apple Store isn't like going to the grocery store. There's no discussion in the grocery aisles…

I'm generally on the side of the plaintiff. I've taken several computers with problems to Apple, with Apple Care or under warranty, only to have them replace the defective parts with refurbs, regardless of the the age of the product. One "fully-te…

Nothing on a United flight is free. I believe the catch here is that WiFi isn't free.

"the less profitable iPhone 5c" This sounds like something that an analyst would say. There's no reliable data on what Apple's costs for the 5c and the 5s are. There are some estimates, but neither the A6 nor the A7 is available to anyone else, n…

Bidding now at $155,000. I calculate a day of Tim Cook's time is worth $155K/0.75*8=$1.653M, and a year at 225*$1.653M=$372M, almost exactly what Apple paid Tim Cook last year.

Maybe this forecast is right. It says that Apple will sell 215,000,000 iPads in 2017. With an ASP of $650 and 30% margins, that's $42B in profit.

Didn't Aperture 3 only used to require 10.5.8? Aperture 3.2.1 requires 10.6.

David Gelernter wrote a paean to Apple for the NY Times Op-ed page, when Apple was a doomed company in the 90's. The article is here: http://www.nytimes.com/1996/02/11/op...p=7&sq=&st=nyt Here's a snippet: "Macintoshes had no comma…

An alternative way to look at the Android-Verizon vs. iPhone-ATT matchup is to consider the reasonably likely alternative that i-A simply defeats A-V, the same way that Apple defeated every iPod challenger, including ones that were doing well before…

I don't believe that accounting issues were the only ones in Apple's decision. Apple didn't know how successful the iPhone might be, nor what its margins would be. I think that they wanted to be as secretive as possible with their revenue reports.…

Yes, I rushed through my calculation, and it's wrong. However, the deferred revenue is a big number--on the order of .50 to .75/share. I believe that Apple's own reporting is appr. 0.31/share for sales during the last two quarters (calculated by s…
