EU sets Apr. 23 deadline for approving or rejecting Apple's Shazam takeover
With all that the EU has to worry about these days, they have time to consider a song recognition app being of such importance? If this is not political and related to whining by Spotify, I am not sure why this iwould even be an issue.

Amazon continues to claim top spot in Harris reputation poll, Apple plummets to 29th
Really? I think a lot of people that like cheap stuff delivered to their doors were in this poll, and not many that work for Amazon. Given what we have heard of the working conditions in their fulfillment centers, I doubt Amazon is fulfilling any 'social responsibility.. and workplace environment' gaps.

I am not sure why you are taking this stance against what is a very reasonable post. Yes AI needs to post articles that are of interest or relevance to Apple followers, but I too agree that AI has had a role in recent APPL decline by what turns out to be baseless speculation. AI gives "Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo" way too much air time. He is just one more analyst that is interested in moving AAPL and making money.Mike Wuerthele said:
Welcome to the forums!SpringHillBobby said:Unfortunately, AI shares some responsibility for yelling "fire" in a crowded theater; along with the other media sites that thrive on clicks. Reporting on sketchy rumors emanating from the oft-wrong Ming Kuo is simply engaging in gossip. For you to now stand on your soapbox to criticize the lazy, shoddy reporting of other media outlets is pretty hypocritical. You did no independent investigation to determine whether Ming's reporting was credible, but you were quick to seize on his rumor mongering for a headline on your site. Unfortunately, this gossiping is not as harmless as the childhood game of telephone; it had real world consequences, i.e. a loss of $7/share for aapl. In my case that translated into a $30k hit to my Apple investment. SEC regulations forbid Apple--or any other publicly traded company--from commenting during the 30-day quiet period prior to their earnings report. But unfortunately, there is no such prohibition on media sites and anal-ysts from engaging in damaging, self-serving speculation. Stick to just reporting on Apple products AI and leave the gossiping to the National Enquirer and TMZ.
Did you even read the original story? It doesn't seem like you did. You're also not in a position to say that we didn't do fact-checking of our own, as I don't recall you in our work Slack. Also, you may note that we reported on the note an hour after some of our competitors did -- given that we all got the note at the same time, and I had some questions, I thought it fit to make some calls and check some sources before I wrote.In any event -- sorry for your loss, I'm sure you'll be fine. However, we will continue to report as we see fit.

Ironically 'Kuo' in the Urban Dictionary is defined as 'To do something idiotic'. ie 'Dang, you just pulled a kuo.'
For this 'analyst' who keeps getting quoted for his mostly inaccurate predictions about Apple, this sounds about right. He burned his credibility years ago.

Man causes explosion in Chinese electronics store by biting replacement iPhone battery
It was labeled 'Apple'. It should not have been made to look like a fruit bar in a black wrapper. Apple should have anticipated this. /sRayz2016 said:

How dumb can you be! And yet there are people here who want others to replace their own components inside these devices? This is exactly why this shouldn't ever happen.
