Wow the supreme court is now making rules, talking about legislating from the bench. This shows you how out of control the entire 3 branches of government are these days.

I agree electronic activated they need not have jurisdiction battle going on and it is too had to get warrants in multiply places at the same time and execute them at the same time. However this is something the congress and president are suppose to decide not the Supreme court.

Our Founding Fathers set up our government the way they did on purpose. It's not supposed to be easy to pass laws and get warrants. But you are right, the job of the Supreme Court is not to pass law or make law. They're only supposed to be the final say in any given court case that makes it to them. Whenever you hear the President make a fuss about how it's hard to get anything done in congress, we should all be smiling and thanking the people who founded this country. 

Unfortunately, the side effect of our governmental layers and checks and balances, however well intentioned the Founding Fathers were, is that it takes us FOREVER to get things done that other countries seem to accomplish much more easily. It's why we still don't have high-speed rail crisscrossing the country (and probably never will) and why we have such a hard time getting large public works projects finished. 

When other countries see a need for something that's in the public good, they can ram it through. We can't do that here unless we pass laws to temporarily suspend some of our civil rights. That's why it always takes a national disaster here to get anything done on schedule. 

I'm just saying... You take the good with the bad. Nothing's perfect.

This will definitely bring the stock back to $130

Jesus Christ. Stop wasting time on fashion and get your ass in gear Apple.

If the rumors are the true and the iPhone 7 looks like the iPhone 6 I'll be pissed.

I seriously think Apple needs to add a Co-Design chief to weaken Ive's influence on the company.  His designs are tired and stale at this point.

This is what the iPhone 7 should have looked like:

ZERO BEZEL.
100% Glass body. 
Awesome.

And double the friggin' battery life while you're at it! God forbid they make it 1 millimeter thicker. 

Ooh! This is exactly what we needed...

This is a gross overreach of our judicial system. There's a reason jurisdiction exists.

The point is that "jurisdiction" doesn't exist online in the same way as it does in the offline world. The rules need to change and everyone knows it.

Hmm... this could be the news behind the news. Surely Icahn leaked this beforehand and it multiplied the selloff in AAPL. He can't keep his mouth shut when it comes to his own stock manipulation tactics.

If Apple continues the buyback, they should be buying it all back now when it's undervalued.

Yeah, god forbid they spend that money on, you know, developing a revolutionary new battery technology or on figuring out a way to fit two ports on the new Macbook.
