  • Why Apple's Transit Maps are rolling out so slowly

    "England's National Rail"?? WTF? Can't you get anyone to write with a clue about geography outside Hicksville?
    LOL. 
    Maybe the author is predicting that Scotland and N. Ireland will leave the UK after Brexit. Still doesn't explain Wales though :smile: 
    Same thing with Holland instead of The Netherlands. There are actually two Hollands (North and South) and confuses the hell outta me when I hear it referenced in the US, makes me think "which Holland are they talking about??"

  • Apple bucks downward PC market spiral, was lone manufacturer to see growth in 2015

    Good to mention Gartner includes tablets in these numbers, whereas IDC doesn't. WSJ has IDC's numbers: http://www.wsj.com/articles/pc-sales-drop-to-historic-lows-1452634605 If you exclude tablets, then Asus has a small increase YoY, but Apple rules them all.

    Yet all those companies you mention have something that Apple doesn't: diversification of revenue in a somewhat equal distribution. Apple makes most of its money from iPhone, so much so that iPhone revenue is almost double than everything else combined. Investors view iPhone as almost plateauing, as in not growing QoQ and YoY anymore, hence the low performing stock price. If you look at Google (diversification of revenue from advertising from different streams - web, mobile, YouTube plus innovative initiatives that the whole world knows about that will bring revenue in the future), Amazon (revenue from cloud, retail, marketplace, publishing platform), Microsoft (recently added computer hardware to gaming hardware and software, productivity software, cloud), Netflix (attracting new subscribers by producing own shows and movies, expanding its territory and increasing its subscriber base), Facebook (need I start with this one??)... 

    You didn't do your due-diligence when you wanted to keep AAPL short term. You really need to do your research better.
    Bullshit.

    Google is 90% ads.
    Microsoft is 70% Windows/Office
    Amazon is 80% retail revenue
    Netflix is 100% streaming

    Diversified my ass.
    QED... you have no idea what you're talking about. Hit those books again, might be of some use.

    You obviously have no idea how the stock market works... You probably thought you'll make a killing by buying a few AAPL shares early in the year and wait for them to grow to $150 to sell and make a quick buck. There are many other forces at play when price is set, and if you look at the overall market today, most of the companies I follow are in the red, including AAPL, and the ones that aren't are only fractions up. For example, Netflix is down 1.5% today.... did you hear anything negative about them?? So please take your amateurish stock market understanding somewhere else. Moderators should ban you for the foul language you used in the forum too
    sure most companies are in the red today.

    But Apple is down 200% more than the index. And look at the past 3 years and Apple is getting destroyed by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Neflix, NASDAQ, Dow, and S&P500.  It has been a piece of shit stock since Jobs died.  The main reason is Tim Cook SUCKS as a front man. He sucks at articulating his vision.
