He needs to come on TV and apologize for claiming they care about privacy.
Or at least admit that their position only applies to democratic countries.

Tim Cook is about to earn his performance-based stock bonus for the year based on 3 year Total Shareholder Return through August 24, and it looks like he will because AAPL is in the top third of the S&P 500. That's the bar set by the board of directors, and he has done well by shareholders. And he looks beyond the bottom line, past the "bloody ROI", and does well by society at large, too. He is also very well compensated, and as such he must endure some ridiculous comments, including some posted on this forum. IMO, he has earned his bonus, and he is doing a great job in all respects and is to be commended.

Sponge, Apologize, what the hell are you thinking! Apple is simply following the laws of the country in question, as they do with every other domicile they sell to. Yes, lets have Tim apologize and irritate the folks who make said laws... shaking my head in disbelief at your comment sir. Do you really question Apple's intents and practices on privacy? It seems to me their policy in privacy is heads and shoulders better than the competition, and if China perhaps sees fit to pass backdoor laws on all vendors, then you might be justified for an apology, if Apple were to bend to such an unfortunate scenario. I am confident Apple would not though, and they would exit stage left in a jiffy, much to our (stockholder) demise. Good luck to the longs...

. The article could have begun and ended with this. It's the "but" and what follows that I often have a problem with. It always feels like the prior sentence never existed.

...regarding the VPN Issue,
the (communist) Chinese are used to this totalitarian censorship, so this whole discussion is a mute point.
It is simply to divert our attention from real issues and create a false concern to manipulate the stock price with.

iPad unit sales up 15% year on year. Good to see resumption of growth. Checking the professional analysts' iPad predictions, the nearest was off by 2 million units!
Cash pile now $257 billion

Glad I held. The focus on lowered guidance expectations made it easy.
If momentum continues, we solidly take out the ATH. I think we have lots of room to run.

If not AH today, I'm feeling very confident that 160 will be crossed tomorrow.
