  • What to expect from a March 25 Apple News and streaming video event -- and what not to

    boltsfan17boltsfan17
    I'm really curious to see what Apple's streaming service will include. Will it be just original content or original and content from other providers? If it's just original content, spending over $1 billion isn't a lot. You won't get a lot of content for $1 billion when you compare how much others spend such as Netflix, HBO, etc. Netflix reportedly will spend over $15 billion on content in 2019. Streaming has become very crowded now. It's going to be interesting to see what Disney will include in their streaming service later this year. Disney's streaming service will be a big blow to Netflix after all their content will be removed.

  • US Army wants Steve Jobs-like iPhone-style design process for next-generation rifles

    If the Army really wants to have high tech weapons, wouldn't they be better making hand grenades like the Galaxy Note 7?

    Regardless of politics, don't see how this is a bad thing.

  • SEC charges former Apple exec Gene Levoff with insider trading [u]

    Let see, he bought stock in the run up to earning and sold before the number came out which were neither good or bad, and he made a profit doing exactly what anyone else who follows apple has done. Gee I been doing similar things for the last 20 yrs on Apple so am I using inside information. I would like to see what information he specifically had that made a difference during this time periods. Now if they told me he sold at the end of Dec 2019 right before the earnings update that tanked the stock then I would say that was insider information.

    Keep in mind he was making the trades when the market was predicting FUD on Apple. He knew the number were good, but he could not predict how much FUD the market was going to throw out.

    I suspect what  matter was he was trading during the blackout period that no exec is allow to do no matter how well or not so well a company is doing. These rules were designed to keep insiders from bailing right before bad news hit the market, not when good news is coming out and the stock is going up, but that is bad now too.
    What you've been doing is not the same thing. Gene Levoff was trading based on non public information. He knew Apple's financial results well before they became public. If Wall Street was expecting so many iPhone's sold and Levoff knew ahead of time Apple wasn't going to deliver on expectations, it's pretty obvious the stock would drop after Apple publicly released that information. That's insider training. What's ironic is Levoff wrote some of the blackout rules for Apple.

  • Apple's Tim Cook will 'take a look' at controversial Saudi app used to track women

    As I understood, the app doesn't provide any tracking by itself. It's just a gateway for other services, including those provided by the goverment.
    That's correct. Besides, anyone can use the Absher website to set up travel restrictions for women in Saudi Arabia. Removing the app would be rather pointless.
