    86 million shares retired through open market repurchases at $209.30 per share.  That’s a pretty good use of cash if you ask this long-term shareholder.
    Yep, i plan to be last man standing with my shares, Those who hold will be rewarded.
    Just don’t be greedy. Many times I waited for the final outcome only to end up with a loss.

    Many people don't seem to realize how good the standard 5K iMacs are now. Those machines will run the majority of what is commonly considered to be "pro software" without breaking a sweat. iMac Pro and Mac Pro are for workflows that require maximum brute force. 
    If you buy any version of the iMac you are buying planned obsolescence and no real upgrade path. I would rather buy a unit less frequently and update it rather than Apple’s throwaway model. The dirty truth is most Macs are not recycled- they end up as e-waste just like a Dell.

    I will take internal expansion and a discrete display over the all in one consumer model any day.
    Just to set the record straight, you are manufacturing BS. I’ve got a 2011 iMac still running. Apple takes in and recycles their hardware. I expect my new generation iMacs to run for many many years. 

    As far as upgradability, i found that when I wanted to upgrade my home built machines the newer cpus were not compatible and memory had advanced to where they wouldn’t fit my motherboard.

  • Alexa and Google Home spying apps easily made it through approval

    The strong response from Google and Amazon is “we removed the apps”. The weaker response was “we told them not to do that and will remove their apps if they do”.

    Still do not see the value in the card and do not like the connection to Goldman Sachs.

    Offer a better interest rate and get rid of the cash back gimmick. I do not need a rebate/kickback, but would appreciate a non-usurious interest rate. Considering the cost of money to banks the interest rates are outrageous.
    Folks like myself that pay off the car each month like the cash back. Cash in my wallet is not a gimmick to me.
