  • Longbow Research inaugurates Apple stock coverage with 'buy' rating

    With AAPL having one of the largest market caps in the world, what investment firm isn't already covering them?

    Pls pls pls do iMessage for Android this year, 
    I think Apple just made this much harder. iMessage now runs little Swift applications in a heavily sandboxed environment. I think getting that onto Android would be very difficult. It will be interesting to see what sort of collaborative apps/environments emerge in iMessage. This has the potential to be paradigm shifting, or getting dumped as a clunky experiment.

    It wasn't really clear to me either. But there's s big fat plus sign where you have your project, implying that you could just start your own project from scratch. I also suspect that you need to keep all your code within one document. And probably, possibly can't use any files? I don't know.. It'd be great if you could use iCloud Drive for using custom graphics. On the web page it says:

    Yeah. It looks like there's some serious depth there. Fiddle around on the iPad, then move over to XCode on the Mac when you get more complicated.

    Huzzah! I can finally learn some coding without, like, having to work very hard!

    I wrote a few text games in BASIC on my dad's NorthStar Horizon. It will be nice to tinker on my iPad Amateur and see if I'm interesting in delving deeper.
    Exactly. A person can take a few piano, guitar, drum, violin, etc. lessons and decide if music is something they want to pursue. Perhaps in those lessons they'll learn what octaves, quarter-notes, time signature, and the note names are. But that's a far cry from then declaring, "Look at me! I'm a musician!"

    Cloud? Without end to end encryption and a cloud server outside the US? Not of any use in Europe if you work in any industry the demands confidential docs are kept confidential- it wouldn't even be legal to use such a service!  I hope they haven't broken anything like local sync of iTunes to make this work. or looks like I'll have to stay on 10.11.whatever is the final version of El Capitan
    Right. For business/enterprise use, I would not trust (nor would my employer) a third-party to store a bunch of my data.
    All this seamless integration sounds great until you get into the corporate world.
