Talk about industry stock market mumbo-jumbo here.

I think the EU rules on chargers allow adapters, so if Apple includes a dock-to-microUSB cable they don't have to do anything else.

Thanks for that CS, interesting. I truly hope that Android grows to be a good competitor and keeps Apple honest, there could be worse competitors than Google I reckon.
One of the problems I keep hearing about though, is the balkanisation of the platform with phones not being upgradable because the supplier doesn't do firmware upgrades. Samsung seems to be particularly bad at this. We'll see how it works out, it'll be interesting to see if the general public prefers openness over convenience.
Baha, I don't think Apple will ditch the iPod interface. They'll come up with a converter cable that they'll ship with the iOS devices instead of a charger.

I hope the single-format-charger thing catches on, at least for the sake of landfills... .

Chargers are the least of the worries...

I'm overseas. Using my iPhone the same way. My hotel uses some kind of local wifi provider and you get an access code that works all over town. It means I can use email/skype/etc without paying crazy cash. Lovely.

Maybe stock-holders think the app store terms stink too...

I wanted to say that I closed out my position in Apple today because I was feeling jittery, but antispam blocked me.

Other things:
Disappointed in the new MBP. thunderbolt is awesome, but some of the lightness of the air should have trickled down via a redesign. The design was never that amazing (although way better than the aluminium) and is getting long in the tooth.
Low sales on *Verizon* are spooking me.
iPad 2 shipping scaling back?
Plus global economic downturn on the way.
30% cut seems like a fiasco.
AND THIS is not spam.
I dunno. Feeling jittery, Ides of March are coming. Pulling out and reconsolidating for a while. Made $1500 on $27000 in a month and a half, that's pretty good right there.

Tony, that would probably be the best thing for the Irish state -- that was a TERRIBLE proposal.

They should catch some of those damn leprechauns. Gold's pretty darn high these days.

ddt,
I agree.
Multiple EU countries should just lance the boil and get it over with and default now. They're going to have to eventually and I'd prefer it now rather than later.
Greece does need to raise its aged pension eligibility though. 58 is just ridiculous...

If certain EU countries default, I fear this would take down a whole lot more than just those few.

They ARE going to default - it's just a matter of time...
The US is trying to solve its problems by just "kicking the can down the road" but one day they're going to run out of road...
Am I Bearish? Yup, more bearish than Biffy...

Los Angeles Times says he still looks as gaunt as ever. I haven't watched any video yet.
