Wall Street Panics, Apple Pays

incidentally, i've been to three malls in the last week and things have been slow in most stores, but the Apple stores have all been standing room only. no exaggeration.

how will they fare in a deepish recession, i have no idea, but today they are kicking ass and taking names.

Apple Pitches in With Pink Nano

a bit of defense for both the news and the analyst

as a design company (lets not kid ourselves that AAPL could be considered anything other than a company that designs luxury products that happen to be electronics), a modification to their design is important. AAPL may have judged correctly that some portion of the market found the color choices bland. recognizing and responding to that demand could prove to be a big deal for them.

as for the author, he included more than a hint of sarcasm in his write-up.

if pink does matter, then the article is important and presented humorously.

if pink doesn't matter, the author was using sarcasm to bring some humor to an ugly day at the end of an ugly month. lighten up.
