He sells shares on a regular schedule, just like thousands of other corporate officers with trading restrictions do. I'm an AAPL shareholder, and I'm not in the least bit concerned about Oppenheimer taking his compensation as he sees fit. If it bugs you, then sell your shares and stick the cash in your mattress.
What was the last estimate I read? Oh yeah, something like 112,000.
AT&T reported 146,000 activations in the first 30 hours. The only reported figure we've had from Apple was for the first two days of sales, which was 270,000 units. We won't know for sure until the next quarterly report, but I'm confident that a million units sold in that first week.
Anytime Apple announces a new product and omits the anti-gravity feature, the stock takes a hit for the next day or so. That's when I add to my AAPL holdings.
During the earnings call, Peter Oppenheimer said that Apple expected to have lower margins this quarter due to "product transitions". I suppose that's what he was referring to, knowing that Apple was planning to drop the price (and the margin) on the iPhone by a hefty amount.
What is the problem with the minimum wage statutes?
They make it illegal to employ anyone who's not worth the minimum wage. This destroys the bottommost rungs on the employment ladder, ensuring that many people will never extricate themselves from dependency on the government.
Tax havens are a predictable market response to a broken tax system. Businesses have a duty to reduce the amount of tax they pay by whatever legal means they find, and individuals are entitled to do so, since it's their money, not the government's.
That being said, if we want to get about ten trillion dollars currently held in offshore accounts repatriated to the USA, all we have to do is enact the fair tax, which will make offshore tax havens a moot point.
When Google released Desktop Search for Mac, all I could read on Mac forums was "meh, nothing new compared to Spotlight"
That was because it was nothing new compared to Spotlight.
What's wrong with google earth, besides trying to muddle through with Qt instead of having a native UI, is that it has a nasty habit of buggering window server memory that it shouldn't be touching. It even has a preference for "safe 3d graphics mode", for heaven's sake, and it still manages to scribble all over the backing stores of other apps' windows.
I don't know if it's as badly behaved on Windows or Linux, but on the Mac it's not up to what I'd consider a beta level yet. It's fun to play around with, but it's definitely in the "you get what you pay for" category.

The sticking point is most of the current infrastructure the government and indirectly we paid for.
That hasn't been true for at least a decade.

iPhone 8GB price drop from $599 to $399.
At that pricing, they could sell 5M units by the end of the year. That's a very aggressive move for market share.

Just saw a message on alt.religion.scientology, Keith reportedly posting from Arel's account:
Hi *****, this is Keith using Arel's email account. I am out, Amber
picked me up and Arel and I have not been followed by cult PIs.
More in a day or two.
Best wishes,

So, a DOS is trivial. You just allocate GDI handles until the system falls over. Is there any way to set a per-process quota for GDI handles?
