  • Amazon acquiring MGM Studios in $8.45 billion deal

    I got seriously interested in Apple stock when the company considered buying MGM back in 2004. It was interesting because Apple apperently could afford it and because they must have had big plans in offering content, even then. But I bought the stock only after they decided to pass on the deal. Now it wouldn't have been such a bad move.

  • The critics were impossibly wrong: Apple CEO Tim Cook was -- and is -- the right person fo...

    Good to underline what a terrific job this guy does. I knew he was great right from the start, when he (and not so much Jobs) saved Apple by a complete overhaul of its logistics. As a stockholder it's great to see the value of the stocks grow and grow and grow, but it is even better to see Apple is in every way a good company. Thanks Tim!

  • Chipolo announces ONE Spot tracking tag with Find My support

    If this means the Chipolo-tags out there will finally start doing their job, it would be great news for owners, but I doubt it. Used mine four months, got about a thousend falls alarms when both my tagged keys and my iPhone were in my coat pocket, and never once an alarm when it was needed. After those four months the battery was dead and that finally bought me peace. And all that for only 25 euro's. Not even going to invest in a new battery. Come on Apple, start shipping some tags that just work. Can't wait.

  • Apple announces progress toward carbon neutral goal, new energy projects

    Apple should build a modern nuclear power plant, that would be truly green…
    …Gates is further along that road than “visionary” Apple, which is more interested in virtue signaling and greenwashing.
    New to me that nuclear waste is green. Great work, Tim. Apple should get much more credit for this.

  • Renault touted as great potential Apple Car partner by analyst

    French cars suck. French workers are constantly on strike. I like Volkswagen (Seat, Skoda, Audi, Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini), a company with some 100 factories in 27 countries, also in China and Brasil. The new all electric VW ID3 and ID4 have a good range (unlike the Renault Zoe that barely gets you to the end of the street) and get great reviews as a car, but the UI sucks so terribly that people are already dumping them, I hear. It would be a perfect match with Apple.
