  • Apple enables lower App Store price tiers in Canada, New Zealand


    Volatile international stock markets, a strong U.S. dollar and other financial factors prompted Apple to take steps toward protecting itself and consumers. For example, the company raised iPhone and iPad prices in Germany to offset a new copyright levy in that country.

  • Apple returns to over $100 per share ahead of Q1 2016 earnings report

    The stock was $100 over THREE YEARS AGO.  Since then Apple has added $130 billion in profits, $100 billion in cash, and $700 billion in sales.

    Its an absolute joke that this stock isn't $150 right now.

    If this stock had the PE of Coke it would be $200.

    If you have money to spare go buy Apple stock NOW. I wish I could buy more but I'm at my max.
    I bought a bunch more two weeks ago, doubling my portfolio. I'm just waiting for Tuesday's earnings call and hope Tim Cook body slams some fools! I know these jackasses will drive it down again leading up to March quarter and beyond June but I'm confident about the company and I'm hoping it translates to AAPL. I'm pissed like you as well because so much valued was just pissed away for no good reason.

    I don't appreciate how the author refers to Apple's "tax dodges."  The clearly has a negative connotation when Apple did NOTHING WRONG.  Apple received tax incentives from the Irish government.  If any party did something wrong, it was the Irish government and, if wrong, they should be sanctioned for it.  

    Apple can't undo having set up operations in Ireland premised on those incentives.  Apple kept their end of the bargain. The problem is these overspending governments looking for any possible source of funding to put off the inevitable reckoning that will come.
    Depending on the tax laws you might be right, but then again corporations should be allowed to BUY our government and write laws that benefit them in the first place.

    Government in and of itself isn't the problem, multi-billions $ corps and billionaires BUYING the government is.
    Government officials don't have to allow themselves to be bought. President Truman always said the buck stops with him. Too bad people in government don't have anywhere near the integrity he did with regard to money and government.

  • F.lux says it is 'original innovator' of nighttime display color tech, asks Apple to open Night Shi

    If the feature is going to be built into iOS, is there a need for f.lux at all? Count me confused. It is a shame that Apple tramples on the little guy like this.
    Apple has an App Store rule that apps that replicate core OS operations get denied a place in the App Store.

  • Sen. Franken asks Google to address concerns about Chromebooks, Google Apps collecting student data

    Impossible it had anythiong to do with Google since don't even allow advertising that includes nudity, references to sexuality or sexual persuasion, religion, medical issues or any other highly personal subjects. Advertisers are also precluded from collecting any of that information themselves via any Google services. So I call FUD good sir.  If your son was getting "porn" suggestions I suggest it was due to something other than Google marketing. 
    maybe he needs to have a nice long talk about what he has been "looking at"

    Personally I'm not one to overreact to a child being exposed to nudity. But the fact his history on YouTube led to such recommendations for him to view does bring validity to this reported complaint. I would have preferred my son use his iCloud email account, but his school requires a Google domain through their Google school accounts. It's a real issue
