I would rather pay more for my all my creepy capitalistic goods than bow down to him.

I agree but the industrial entities always cave to fascists first. Germany, Italy, they fall in line.

At this point does anyone NOT believe that these 'analysts' are simply working to manipulate the market? Sell, buy, sell, buy. Liquidity for funds that needs monthly income. It's a near completely corrupt system. It's manipulation and if they ever cracked down on these grifters the market would be 'less liquid' which means financial institutions wouldn't manufacture profit for themselves as easily.

I really doubt that...Tim may as well reach out to me to complain about it. While there is a legit issue here, Trump inserting himself into it now is ridiculous. 

At some point none of the tech will be working across the world. Each country freaked out by other countries tech. This will have a huge impact on world economies. Maybe the end of these huge multinational tech corporations.

I find it hard to believe that Apple thought that this first version would sell like gangbusters. They MUST have people connected to the real world who realize a $3,500 toy is off limits to the majority of the population. So I take it they went the Mercedes route - knowing they would sell less (Than Ford), but still have a good idea of how many would sell. Now the bigger question is - does anyone care about goggle based VR? And having tried them out for many years, I suspect it's a really tough sell to the vast majority of people. And the device rather quickly becomes an afterthought.  But hey, I'm open to being wrong here. I don't know. But my guess is Apple MUST have had a pretty solid idea on sales and that the 'shifting' to a cheaper set isn't a sudden thing, but part of the plan.
