    This is true, but Apple has a lot of money, and the recent two buys of chip companies hasn't made a great deal of sense. Sure, they use these companies, but it means they no longer…

    No price, which is going to be a big selling point. They can't make these things that cheap, surely. I can't see it being less than $400.

    He wasn't doing arbitrage. He was investing in companies in that he thought were going up in stock price. Clearly he was researching different companies, and finding ones that he t…

    You shouldn't be investing this way, if you need to get your money back in the short term. Only invest in companies if you can afford to leave that money there, for a reasonable pe…

    Really? The first thing I though was that it was a cheap chinese copy of a macbook, just as they copy the iPhone. It is not as sleek as a macbook. Lets see if they get the track pa…

    No, that is what one of the big complaints are. And while kids have parents, a lot of parents aren't that stupid. But, do you really think kids know about android?

    Have apple started screwing over lots of companies yet? (Well, apart from Adobe, and that is debatable) Mac OS is still a great system, sure iPhone/iPad/Touch is quite locked down,…

    I don't see much excessive punishment, they did rough him up, take him out the back and break his fingers, or even march him out of the store. Also, like a lot of big companies, th…
