Share Buybacks Make Apple Sweeter
No DOUBT! Keep the cash for a rainy day. Especially in this type of economy and market.
Why is it that these ANAL ist's think that "THEY KNOW" whats best for AAPL.
The shorts & hedges want a buyback so they can manipulate the stock.
Screw them. Apple has a plan and it is a long term plan. That plan does not include day traders. Apple will be @ $250 in @ least 3 years just you watch. laugh ALL you want...... these are the same skeptics that said the iPod was a joke. same goes for iPhone.
ijah420 says !@#$ the ANAL ist's they don' know !@!@#$!!!
Initial Thoughts on Android and the G1 Smartphone
In the back of my head I knew someone was going to bring this very point up. I feel it (Malware , Virus etc..) is being TOTALLY overlooked by the open source community. GSlusher Thanks for opening this discussion. I feel a forum needs to be opened on this very serious subject. Apple was and still is BASHED for keeping their OS locked down. I feel AAPL was and is smart to play this card due to their understanding of the serious threat that hackers pose to a platform and it acceptance.
ijah420 says Apple has their $%^& together and the others are climbing a 12 pitch roof smothered with Vaseline. ;)
Jobs Has Sold His 10 Million iPhones
I AM SPEECHLESS. To even fathom the idea that this guy gets paid to post such RUBISH!!!!!!
I will be blunt. Joel YOU ARE AN IDIOT!
iJah420 says GET A LIFE!!!! Won't happen to Joel being that ugly. DOH!
Apple: Common Sense Ahead of Earnings
The Russians r like Putin. They want something for nothing and if they do not want to pay for it they will steal it or back stab anyone to get it. Never trust a Russian.
When was the last time they created something worth paying for?
Don't see many tags in the U.S. that read "Made in Russia".
ijah420 says %^&$% Russia. Apple would do just fine without em' PA TOOE!!!
Can Zune Compete With iPod?
Is anyone honestly going to be swayed by this really lame marketing campaign? Seriously, this reeks of desperation from Redmond. I'm beginning to wonder if, in fact, anyone cares that Microsoft's recent major product campaigns -- perhaps with the lone exception of the XBox -- have all been major flops. Put another way, Microsoft doesn't matter anymore.
Exhibit B: the Zune. Also in 2006 (November to be specific) Redmond launched the Zune, Microsoft's answer to the iPod. As of May 2008, the company had sold 2 million of the little guys. The company likely retains its single-digit market share in the portable digital music player sector. As MacUser's David Dahlquist put it at the time:
Apple, in the meantime, has sold 10.6 million iPods in its latest quarter. If one does the math, that means that Apple has moved more than five times the amount of MP3 players in the last quarter than Microsoft has moved in the last year and a half. Coffee break's over, boys; time to learn how to innovate.
Last month, Microsoft decided that it could improve on the first generation by releasing new versions of the players along with new software to go with it. The New York Times' David Pogue wrote:
The new Zunes haven't changed at all except in color: blue, pink, red or black for the Nano-like model (4 to 16 gigs, $130 to $200 ) and black for the 120-gigabyte model ($250). But next to the sleek, shiny iPods, Zunes still look like dark, Soviet-made bricks.
.
Earlier this year, the Zune Guy (he got a tattoo with the Zune logo!) went iPod, and the major American electronics retailer GameStop decided to stop selling them entirely. Among my gadget-toting friends, I've only seen one in the wild. And I've seen more iPods than I can count.
OH butthe Zune is gona make a COME FROM BEHIND VICTORY!!!
iJah420 says PPPPPPUUUUUUUKKKKKEEEE... on MSFT
Did iPhone Sales Pass 10M Already?
AAPL is down due in part to FALSIFIED reports from the likes of iReport a division of CNN. This kind of callous reporting is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to individuals envious of something as insanely great as AAPL and what it has created.
Instead of inventing something new and better they stoop to the level of half baked copies, slander and unethical business practices.
You know THE SYSTEM!!....quite frankly THE SYSTEM SUCKS AND IS TERRIBLY BROKEN. Capitalism!! you say....700B $$$ GOVERNMENT BAILOUT!!! YEAH RIGHT!!!! WHAT A CROCK!!! Just like to yellow journalists who are paid to bash AAPL.
If the MESSIAH Obahma gets in We can all kiss our Capitalistic USA BYE BYE!!!! Welcome to our new KING...
King Barack!!!
iJah420 says very sad indeed.
Apple will prove you all wrong in the next 5 years.... You know WHY?
because they Think Different. I'm done here.
Did iPhone Sales Pass 10M Already?
Apple has NO DEBT!
iJah420 says ;) like they owe nobody any $$$$. Big Big deal with the US where it is today. I suggest loading up on large qtys of RIM....Why? Because the symbol speaks for itself when the shareholders get the high hard RIM job from a Co. that bilked their customers.
To say RIM offers a quality products is just kidding themselves. Can't WAIT to see this BOLD in action. What a Joke.
And Gary Krakow's youtube video has been YANKED. It explained how pathetic the trackball is on those things. Shot after 6 months of use can't scroll left or right...just keep your heads in the sand that way you wont be able to SEE the 2nd tidal wave coming called the second coming of AAPL.
Did iPhone Sales Pass 10M Already?
DENY DENY DENY.... How many other tech Co. have 20B in CASH!.
and MSFT just keeps revolutionizing the industry with HOT! products like ZUNE!...
COME ON!
iJah420 says wait till you see the new laptops from AAPL. The best Dell can do is offer a candy coated colored shells that run an OS that tastes like $%&$ on the inside... Good Lord!
Did iPhone Sales Pass 10M Already?
From your FEARLESS LEADER STEVE and I'm not talking Jobs.
I am SO Glad I stuck with AAPL.
However, I am subjected to their CRAPWARE EVERY DAY because my superiors know SO MUCH MORE than I do. Just like their DUMB ASS FEARLESS MONKEY BOY LEADER!!!!
People who BASH APPLE I say to you #$%^&% YOU you are so short sighted and close minded it makes my stomach CHURN!!
I am a very advanced user xross multiple platforms so DO NOT come back with your canned reply that I'm some FANBOY!! I know what works and I tell you right now MSFT is in trouble. Good Luck with that Vista enterprise roll out it is just a gem of a roll out NOT!!!! What a JOKE!!! Just like the following quote.........
Ballmer: iPhone has 'no chance'
The iPhone has no hope of gaining a true foothold in the cellphone marketplace, according to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The company head told an interviewer at the USA Today that, as with computers, future control of the mobile handset business would primarily depend on software influence rather than hardware. Apple's insistence on attaching its code to a premium device could prevent it from getting any more than a small percentage of the world's cellphone user base, Ballmer predicted.
"Would I trade 96% of the market for 4% of the market? I want to have products that appeal to everybody," he said. "We'll get a chance to go through this [Apple versus Microsoft debate] again in phones and music players. There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It's a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get."
He also suggested that Apple might be creating too narrow a focus by stressing media playback on the iPhone instead of the possibilities of a general operating system such as Windows Mobile. The heavily-rumored Zune phone was again dismissed as impossible and against the company's mobile product philosophy.
"We wouldn't define our phone experience just by music. A phone is really a general purpose device," he summarized. "You want to make telephone calls, you want to get and receive messages, text, e-mail, whatever your preference is."
The iPod's success in the world of strictly entertainment-oriented handhelds was downplayed. Apple "got out early" with a good mix of media player hardware and software, according to Ballmer, but there was still an opportunity for the Zune line to have its own success. Its sales campaign would be "less edgy" and appeal to more buyers, he said. The remark appeared to ignore the company's existing campaigns, which have included Adult Swim and graffiti-themed limited runs of the player.
Microsoft currently holds a small but substantial portion of the cellphone OS business, which is currently dominated by variants on the open-source Symbian. The Zune's share has largely remained locked at roughly 9 percent of the US hard disk-based media player market since its introduction in November 2006.
Have NICE DAY!!!
iJah420 says DENY DENY DENY all you want.... the numbers AAPL will post will speak VOLUMES!
