  • Over 200,000 people affected by Amazon review scam data leak

    65026502
    I've gotten free products that I've left positive reviews for. They sent me the products before I left the review, so I could have said anything (but probably would not have been invited back if I left a bad review). The products were good and I left honest reviews.

  • Goldman Sachs Rod Hall admits defeat, hikes Apple target to $130

    65026502
    Quite bold of him setting a $130/share price target when Apple currently trades at $133/share.

    Back in the late 90's my broker recommended I sell few shares of Apple that I bought in high school. I didn't and today that $5000 investment is worth $480k. Never used or listened to a broker since.

  • The frontrunners for next Apple CEO: Speculating on Tim Cook's successor

    Another absurd column regarding Cook’s retirement from Apple. He said he does expect to be at Apple into the next decade. No one knows with any degree of certainty what they will be doing in 5, much less 10 years. To follow up the speculation of Cook’s potential retirement with a list of potential candidates who might be around or willing to take the job should it be offered is speculation on speculation. AI is venturing into National Enquirer territory. 

    I see Ive and Ahrendts as least desirable choices for CEO. Both are fashion oriented with Ahrendts coming from the fashion world and Ive applying fashion to devices without regard for usability, battery life and serviceability. 
    Jeez, relax. "Speculation" is literally in the title of the article. There was nothing wrong with this article.

  • Long-time Apple retailer Fry's Electronics suddenly shuts down

    65026502
    This is sad, I loved Fry's. You could buy circuit board components, appliances, devices and everything in between. I've fixed many thing by replacing bad caps and it was nice to be able to bike over to the Palo Alto Fry's and pick up a cap. Their prices were very competitive with Amazon and their sales were great. But, as Gassee said, the writing has been on the wall for a while, the stores were half empty and almost no one was there. Not sure how many buildings they owned vs. leased, but with real estate going for what is does in Silicon Valley, it makes better sense to develop or sell.
