    Yeah…. His history of being an impulsive jackass certainly doesn’t explain it. 
    Umm, you do your Due Diligence by reviewing the SEC forms (10K statements for each quarter).
    These are publicly available, and are the OFFICIAL STATEMENT of the company's financials, quarterly expenses, costs, debts, plans and forward mission statements.
    They are signed by the CEO and/or the CFO.
    These are the forms that Stock Brokers will analyze to set a stock price target, banks will use to determine loan amounts and percentages, and are a base for taxes.  These forms are generally "audited" by a 3rd party, before release.
    They are a big deal. A very, very Big Deal.

    That's why Elon had a $1 Billion Deposit, so he couldn't walk away.
    However, fraud in vitiates everything.  Twitter lied by overstating the actual user base, and instead of the bots being <5% as Twitter claimed, two separate 3rd party audits showed that bots were greater than 19.2% (about 400% higher than claimed).  That's serious, very, very serious.
    So, now come the law suits

    Elon was defrauded, Twitter lied to him, they lied to the SEC.  Oxley-Sarbanes Act sets up some very severe prison sentences for all involved for this.
    So, Elon could walk away, or negotiate a much lower puchase price; due to this fraud
    next, we have the stockholders, who will recieve far less share value, because Twitter committed fraud
    Finally, we have the advertisers, who overpaid for advertizing, as the consumer base they thought they were reaching, did not exist.

    yes, this is catetrophic.
    Extremely insightful.  This is all about jockeying for a lower purchase price.  You do this sort of thing when buying a house, as well, with inspections, appraisals, etc.  i would assume this is all posturing for bargaining purposes.

    Cost savings like this are how Apple manages to keep its prices so low…
    This was the comment of the year.  Outstanding and well done.

    So what would Series 4 battery life be if they implemented always-on display in a software update?
    I have the same question.  If CPU/GPU are the same and the new model has to power double the storage, why can’t Series 4 have “Always On.”  Unless the battery tech has been radically improved in S5, I would imagine it’s possible.
