    Except for IBM, which has been a 5 year loser for him. His PMs, however, invested in INTC for a year back in 2011 or thereabouts, getting out with a 25% profit before it dropped 30%, and they've now invested in AAPL. The big difference is that Buffet himself bought IBM and wants to hold it forever, actually hoping its price would decrease for years and years so he could buy more, with that and the buyback increasing the percentage of the target $20 EPS he owns, a target which never came true for him. His PMs, on the other hand, sold out of their INTC after a year. Who knows what they want to do with AAPL? All we know is Buffet has confirmed it was the PMs who bought AAPL, not him. We don't know if Berkshire wants it be a forever hold or a quick flip.
    IBM and INTC are not tech companies.

    Big tech is Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tesla, ect.

    Apple does need to do something to push the boat out a bit. The iPhone came a long way up to the iPhone 4 and then stalled. We need something amazing.
    How has it stalled? If anything, it improved A LOT after the 4. The A7 processor was a momentous improvement in processing progress, Touch ID hasn't  really been equaled by others, Apple's the only one using 7000 series Aluminium in a phone and 3D touch will eventually be replicated by everyone else.

    Those are only a few of the major improvement Apple has rolled out lately.

    I don't get these kinds of declarations.
    The average user doesn't give a damn about the processor or its made from 7000 series Aluminium. They may give a damn about the design and the stuff they use but not the tech specs. 
    People in a tech forum on the other hand are a different breed.

    Mmm ...

    Seems to me that Apple needs to find a way to make a profit from users of Facebook and other social media ...

    Exactly.

    Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, are all laughing to the bank.
    They are all making BILLIONS on the backs of iOS users.  Without iOS users these companies would die on the vine.

    Its time for Apple to play hardball and get a better chunk of the pie.
    So you are suggesting Apple threaten to ban these services unless they hand over huge chunks of their revenues? Seems a quick way to the courts and bank breaking fines.
    You want Apple customers to become the product? Become just like Google and FB?
    What reality are you living in?

    My daughter would jump on this but she says that there is no way she will manually recreate all of her Spotify playlists. If she had a way to automatically export and import them...
    I believe there apps that accomplish this
    Or just have that ability baked in?
