Tim Cook's answers looked and sounded constipated. Why innovate or create new products and/or categories when you can tie all your eggs to China? How's that working, Tim? Did you forget America and the rest of the world? What's that you say? India is the cure to Apple's expansion woes, now? Another unicorn to tie your ship to? Where Jimmy Iovine? What's Jony Ive, Angela, Dr Dre, and Anand doing these days? If they/you/Apple aren't capable of creating compelling new products anymore, at least buy a great brand or company. I'm sick of hearing how I can't live without the Watch. I AM! Or Apple Music. I AM! Ever since Apple began distributing freebee OSes the quality sucks and it's fraught with bugs. How about some decent dividends while Apple is stalled? Or at least hunt for a CEO with some real Apple blood pulsing through their veins so we can replace you, Tim! 

A day late and a dollar short... Mr. Tim Cook.

Tim Cook has no feel for Apple. IMO, he's never been part of the company's DNA. As an Apple shareholder and supporter since 2007 I'm beginning to feel Apple is "DOOMED", and I used that word specifically and advisedly for all you fanboys on AI. Your snarky, pat, emoji-speak didn't prevent AAPL crashing from $135 a year ago to $96 today. Under a competent CEO AAPL would, could, and should be north of $200. If Apple had come up with one compelling product besides the iP 6/S. And where the hell is Jony Ive? Did he really design that useless Chicklet of a watch whose best design element is the band? Give me an achey break!

You don't need an analyst. Based on my own observations, I've been questioning what Ive and Cook have been up to recently? Rose gold products, a bland looking watch that requires an iPhone to use, Beats, the contorted non 4K Apple TV? Hell, I may cop a Skylake MBP soon, but the only thing I've seen fit to purchase from Apple lately is a .99 cent a month iCloud upgrade and one Prince song. This isn't Steve Jobs' Apple, and by any impartial measure, Cook and Jony simply aren't cutting it. They are the parties responsible for AAPL stock tanking.

Isn't it ironic that after all the illegal spying the Feds have done on American citizens, the NSA/FBI missed -- or was unable to harvest -- the San Bernadino terrorists' data? It reveals how stupid their master plan to protect the American homeland was in the first place. The FBI should hire some adults (like Richard Clarke) instead of pipsqueaks out of college. If a 200 year old writ is the best the brilliant minds in our government can muster, no wonder America's policies are so undermined and overwhelemed.
