She's the CEO in name only. She was hired to sell advertising, period. Regardless of titles, Musk remains the de facto CEO of Twitter and under his control Twitter will continue to devolve into the cesspool he is making it.

Or, in other words, advertisers will continue to flee Twitter because, really, who wants their product associated with the rants of white nationalist lunatics?

Above all else Twitter is an adverting platform. Having a successful adverting executive run an advertising company does make sense.

Steve Jobs was a true genius. The only problem with the iMac’s early debut was that nobody had really dealt with Ethernet or WiFi at the time, in fact, the internet was just really starting to become a thing. 

Had it debuted with the iPod, Steve Jobs might have had the best way to get digital music, and saved apple completely.

The original iMac didn’t have WiFi so it’s completely irrelevant. Ethernet was well established but not in the home market. The internet want just becoming a thing. By the time the iMac came along Apple had already taken a stab at being an ISP when they licensed AOL and rebranded it eWorld. Technically they licensed it back. AOL was based on AppleLink which was a BBS. 

“If there's ever any doubt that the iMac is a phenomenal success, just try to think of any other computer — any other device — that is still being sold a quarter of a century after it was launched”

“ With just the money deposited in the first four days, we know at 4.15% interest that customers have already been paid at least $41 million in interest.”

Ummm, that 4.15% APY is annual.  There’s no way that $41M in interest could already be paid over a few weeks.

Ummmmmm. I received my notice of interest paid in my Apple Wallet this morning. It IS getting paid. Promptly. 

Doubting Apple has usually been a losing gamble.

Yikes. gourmet_poems didn't say no interest, they said the 4.15% APY is annually and the 41 million won't have accrued in a few weeks at a 4.15% yield. They are correct.

You got paid interest at the end of the month but not 4.15%

gourmet_poems didn't doubt Apple, they are financially literate.

Any word on how quickly the money becomes available for withdrawal after you transfer it into Savings? I added money on Tuesday 4/18 and it is still not available to be withdrawn. I read somewhere that it said “a few days” but is looking more like a week which is fine, I just would like to know it will be 7 - x days. 

For me it’s somewhere around never. Money is there but every time I try to transfer money to my Apple Cash card the transaction failed. I tried adding a personal checking account and it won’t allow me to do that either, I’m told I have to call in and talk to a special group to add my account.
