  1. Re:Manipulation on The Strange Math of Apple's Alleged Massive iPhone 5 Order Cuts · · Score: 1

    The 'fundamentals' of growth that's less than 100% YOY.

    That's considered bad, but only for Apple. And only on Wall Street.

  2. Re:BGR Report is Useless on The Strange Math of Apple's Alleged Massive iPhone 5 Order Cuts · · Score: 2

    Actually, a much better explanation for Apple cutting orders (from one supplier) by 50% would be because they have a second supplier.

  3. Re:so? apple is still selling less product on The Strange Math of Apple's Alleged Massive iPhone 5 Order Cuts · · Score: 1

    If only you could get a discount for paying full price for *any* phone.

    Unfortunately, that's not possible in the US.

    Then why have they changed the story several times since last night?

    Including removing the 65M number.

    Fine, add an extra zero to the volumes. Or even two.

    Won't make a damn bit of difference if that's your entire market.

    Capacitive nerf gun bullets for those who won't (or can't) be bothered to get up.

    Why can't it be both?

    Yeah, a market of 80,000 in the US is a great market.

    http://www.aia.org/press/AIAS077761

    At that that run rate, I'm sure the tablets won't cost more than about $50k a piece.
    At which point, the market goes down to 8,000 and the price goes up to $100k.

    See how this works? Or doesn't?

  9. Re:it's the copyright law they should investigate on MIT Investigating School's Role In Swartz Suicide · · Score: 2

    And anyone with common sense would also realize that this was a very political act on both Swartz & the prosecutors' parts.

    Thus the sentence is very likely to be much higher than the run of the mill first time convict.

  10. Re:How would MIT be responsible here? on MIT Investigating School's Role In Swartz Suicide · · Score: 2

    And MIT didn't say no. Thus they're culpable.

    Can you go all across Europe, ie to Spain & Slovenia, without incurring roaming charges?
    Then it's not the same as the US.

    1GB/month - better not watch Netflix on the road, or get a few emails with large attachments. Also, that's not what I want for a smartphone plan. What's the point of having a smartphone?

  12. Re:Nope on Chinese Smartphone Invasion Begins · · Score: 2

    But you can't leave your country (that's the size of the average US state) without roaming charges.

    Also, US carriers suck. A lot.

    But because of that, they're a good stock to own - 5-6% dividends.

  13. Re:Nope on Chinese Smartphone Invasion Begins · · Score: 1

    You can get a voice/data plan for about $30 a month.

    But you're not going to want to use it with a smart phone.

  14. Re:Nope on Chinese Smartphone Invasion Begins · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So what?

    The bulk of the cost of owning a smart phone is the cellular service.

    If your phone costs $50, $250, $450, $650, it's about 5-15% of the total cost of ownership.

    In other words, if you're looking more closely at the cost of the phone rather than the functionality of the phone, you're missing the point of owning a smartphone.

  15. Re:I've got a Chinese smartphone on Chinese Smartphone Invasion Begins · · Score: 0

    Well, Samsung's Austin plant is planning on making the A5 in the iPhone.

    And Apple is shifting silicon production to TSM, based mostly in New York.

    It's just the CPU, but it's a step in that direction. For better or/and worse.

  16. Re:Nope on Chinese Smartphone Invasion Begins · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This would be great, if only the price of the phone was a significant part of the cost of owning a phone.

    Unfortunately, it's almost a rounding error.

    Seriously stupid.

    My 7 yr old knows there's a bunch of restaurants & grocery stores 2 miles away, and that he can bike there.

    But the inverse is true too.

    A good teacher can use the new technology to better the class.

    But often good means good with technology, not good with teaching.
