Yeah a dividend is a stretch. But, in all good time AAPL may just very well be on it's way to becoming THE GLOBAL dominate Titian in so many sectors. Apple is in the drivers seat. When they feel good and ready a dividend will become a reality.
There is not much stopping AAPL @ this point... except for maybe the Applesauce makers who only WISH their MicroDog holding had the same problems @ AAPL.
$34+ Billion in the BANK!! HO HO HO..... NO DEBT!! 2 BILLION App downloads... Not a SINGLE ONE BTW from any other handset but iPod Touch and iPhone. 100,000 + Apps AND GROWING GLOBALLY!!! Specific to iPhone & iPod Touch..
UM What else....
27" iMac is a Hit IN A BIG WAY!!! Firmware fix is out for screen issues. None the less... iMac 27"..... like it or not... it is a desired product.
AAPL is the envy of tech when it comes to margin. YOU KNOW WHY???? BECAUSE they make QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT WORK..... IMAGINE THAT!!!!!! YOU ACTUALY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!! DONT ASK ME ASK THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALY USE Apple's products...!!! More to the point ASK THE KIDS!!!! these are the ones entering into the workforce in the very near future.....Yeah! this is something people miss BIGTIME!!
A possible tablet?????? etc.. etc..
I'm done here the list is to extensive ......
Its ALL GOOD and especially if you are an AAPL" INVESTOR"....
iJah420 says Merry Christmas!!!! Wait till the November December sales numbers reach the wires... THEY ARE GOING TO BLOW THE NUMBERS OUT OF THE WATER.....!!!
BUT YET!!! according to Steve Ballmer Apple does not have ANY CHANCE OF SIGNIFICANT MARKET SHARE IN THE Telco SECTOR!!!!!!
GOOD LORD!! what a JOKE!!! MICRO DOG!!!! It amazes me. So many people bash Apple yet have NEVER USED the products they make. I unfortunately am subjected to this very same mindset @ work.... I work in DELL HELL and WINDOZE ALL DAY!!!! No matter... I deal and just laugh at the pure and UTTER IGNORANCE due to narcissism and PRIDE of the GREEDY Corp types who REFUSE to acknowledge that there IS IN FACT a better platform available that can do SO MUCH if they were to just Think Different. For once in their greedy, prideful & parsimonious lives they might actually get enlightened.
Zune!!!! Way to GO!! Robby Bachman Job Well Done!! You are such a Genius!!!! NOT!!! Go ride your Mountain bike off a cliff why don't you? You are not worth your weight in salt.... !@#$ Schlock! Tech Guru!!! My ass gas generates better ideas than that halfwit!!

And YET..
AAPL is hovering in the 195 to 198 range..... on ANALists providing their spin... saying AAPL has little to no VALUE above the $200 mark. I wanna know what ON EARTH are these ANALists SMOKING!!
This stock has the potential to go to $275 in 2010..
What I would like to see though is a 3 for 1 split.... somehow I ponder that is a TALL order...
A split would take the shorts out of play and allow the investor to ride decent returns when AAPL EVENTUALLY issues a dividend.
Apples to Apples: Will History Repeat Itself as Android Gains on the iPhone? [View article]
I have been following this train since 1990..... And for the record I am tech savvy across MULTIPLE PLATFORMS...
Prior to the release of said iPhone in 2007 which btw was doomed to fail by OH so many VASTLY more knowledgeable players in the ANAL ist world than I.......If my memory serves me correctly...? I seem to remember AAPL had released patent drawings on the rumored device.... (I printed them out and have them to this day).... The drawings posted showed said device with only 3 to 4 buttons with a HUGE screen......
WELL making a long story short ANAL ists laughed it off....and the #1 complaint of a yet to be released device was... GET THIS!!!! The screen will SMUDGE and be covered with finger prints YADA YADA YADA!!!!
Well, I look back now and emphatically say to them FU!!!
You know WHY I say FU!!!???? It’s because NOW all those playing catch up, have or WANT huge touch screens with minimal buttons....and the same user experience. Go Figure....?????
All those NAYSAYER'S are now scrambling to create the very device they once scoffed @...... And people still have the audacity to criticize the device they are attempting to COPY!!!!
iJah420 is now done with this rant.
4 the record...
My mother on my advice got in @ $92 & my buddy listened to me and got in @ $42.... What the hell do I know? I don't have the self proclaimed title of tech analysts. So what the hell would I know?
AAPL has significant upside when you look past all the ANAL ist BS. AAPL Long.
Droid? Time will tell... Hot @ first only to become a fragmented mess, leading into acquisition upon acquisition. I.e. T-Moble with Microdog's acquisition of Danger!!! Yeah that's what I say.... Danger Will Robinson!!!!!! Danger Dr. Smith the Droid is COMING!!! And it ain't in a good way for a tightly knit user experience.
State of the iPhone: Strong. Very Strong. [View article]
SiliconValleyJoe
Y. will do.
I however, have a low tolerance for IT ignorance and felt this was one way to shut them up.
I should have just said... AAPL Q2 eps $1.33 (Net quarterly profit of $1.21 billion FYI), 29+billion in the bank, NO DEBT, A healthy product line and the best SDK on the planet.
OH!!!! they would say SO WHAT!! Mac sales are down 3%!!!
Well THEN!!! GO AWAY!!! buy DELL and good luck with that I say....sad part is DELL is the fall guy for MSFT's arrogance and missteps.
Ballmer: iPhone has 'no chance' The iPhone has no hope of gaining a true foothold in the cellphone marketplace, according to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The company head told an interviewer at the USA Today that, as with computers, future control of the mobile handset business would primarily depend on software influence rather than hardware. Apple's insistence on attaching its code to a premium device could prevent it from getting any more than a small percentage of the world's cellphone user base, Ballmer predicted.
Again, I just cringe @ the ignorance of certain annalists and IT know it ALLS.

Lynch its about fundamentals. Apple is a leader not a follower.
I use Linux, XP, UNIX, Mac..... won't touch Vista.... For the record VERY savy on ALL platforms......
Apple is by far the most stable. two words... CERTIFIED UNIX... ever heard of it?
UNIX certification.
Leopard is an Open Brand UNIX 03 Registered Product, conforming to the SUSv3 and POSIX 1003.1 specifications for the C API, Shell Utilities, and Threads. Since Leopard can compile and run all your existing UNIX code, you can deploy it in environments that demand full conformance — complete with hooks to maintain compatibility with existing software. Terminal 2.
The Terminal application in Leopard takes advantage of the operating system’s native text and graphics capabilities, using Input Manager and Core Text to fully support non-English languages. The updated layout engine provides very fast rendering of ASCII, ISO, and Unicode text, and a new user interface gives users around the world the ability to harness the power of UNIX. A simplified inspector and integrated settings pane make it easy to change the look and feel of Terminal. Self-Tuning TCP.
Leopard gets the best possible bandwidth from both broadband and narrowband networks by optimizing buffer sizes according to the local resources and connection type. Starting with a larger window helps TCP with ongoing dynamic optimization. This is especially valuable when connecting to high-bandwidth/high-la... networks like Verizon’s FiOS, which previously required specialized tools such as Broadband Tuner. AutoFS.
The brand-new multithreaded AutoFS filesystem layer keeps track of which paths are actually located on remote AFP, SMB, or NFS fileservers — even across symlinks — and automatically mounts the appropriate server. The Finder and other applications needn’t wait for one mount to complete before requesting another. Now you can specify automount paths for your entire organization using the same standard automounter maps (for example, NIS) supported by Linux or Solaris. 64-bit applications.
Leopard is the first mainstream OS to completely and seamlessly support both 64-bit and 32-bit applications on the same platform, making use of all your existing devices. Even major graphical system libraries — including Cocoa, X11, and OpenGL — are available to both 32-bit and 64-bit processes. Multicore optimized.
Leopard features improved scheduling, memory management, and processor affinity algorithms to make better use of multiple cores. Several subsystems (TCP networking, AutoFS automounter, and NFS server) have been rewritten to be fully multithreaded. Also, POSIX thread allocation has been optimized to support the new NSOperation APIs.
DTrace.
DTrace is a low-level debugging and profiling facility for detailed monitoring of virtually any aspect of an application. Based on the Solaris Open Source project, this technology has been integrated by Apple into the Darwin kernel. In addition, Java, Ruby, Python, and Perl have been extended to support DTrace, providing unprecedented access for monitoring the performance characteristics of those languages. Scripting Bridge.
Mac OS X is now the ideal platform for all kinds of script-based development. Ruby 1.8.6 and Python 2.5 are both first-class languages for Mac development, thanks to Cocoa bridges, Xcode and Interface Builder support, DTrace monitoring, and Framework builds — as well as AppleEvent bindings via the new Scripting Bridge. Leopard is also the premier platform for Ruby on Rails development, thanks to Rails, Mongrel, and Capistrano bundling. Streaming I/O.
The new IOStream class in IOKit provides a high-level API for managing DMAs and other high-bandwidth data transfers, without the need to optimize caching strategies for different hardware architectures. It also forms the basis of the new IOVideo family, designed to support professional-level video cards. These new APIs make it easier for developers to take full advantage of both cutting-edge and previous-generation hardware. Kerberized NFS.
Leopard NFS supports Kerberos authentication as an alternative to UNIX user IDs for determining who can gain access to a particular volume. In addition, every host automatically generates its own Kerberos v5 principal, allowing it to vend Kerberos-authenticated services. Directory Utility.
Directory Utility gives you a single place to graphically manage all local and remote directory entries and services, a task that previously required complicated command-line operations.
