Good morning everyone.
RED everywhere this morning including AAPL which is trading at $159.10 -0.98 (-0.61%).
Apparently the market doesn't like threats of fire and brimstone.
Not much in the news. Stay tuned.
Have a great day. Let's make money.

Agreed but even a low level techy individual like myself can take away a couple of salient points. Once again Apples control of the hardware and software stack is a significant advantage. I also think the world seems to continually miss how important the demographic of it's user base truly is. Having the customers with educational/monetary means and a willingness to spend leads me to believe that it will be Apple first when it comes to developers. Well worth the read.

That same customer base is crucial when it comes to developing and implementing new products and services. Nice to have them thinking and developing within the Apple ecosystem.

The Street: Apple to $2 Trillion. However, one has to wonder about an author who uses "both" to refer to three items :-)

MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker's top aides urged lawmakers Thursday to approve environmental exemptions and up to $3 billion in subsidies to land a display screen manufacturer, with one cabinet official calling it a "once in a generation, maybe once in a century, opportunity for our state." In exchange for state incentives and still undisclosed aid from local governments, Foxconn Technology Group has agreed to hire thousands of workers and invest up to $10 billion in the massive factory. "The Foxconn payroll, when fully up to speed, will be up to $800 million a year," Department of Administration Secretary Scott Neitzel said. "We cannot let this opportunity pass us by." www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/03/lawmakers-take-testimony-wisconsins-3-billion-subsidy-bill-foxconn/536088001/ fortune.com/2017/08/08/wisconsin-foxconn-plant-incentives/Wisconsin is not projected to break even on a $3 billion incentive package for a proposed LCD screen plant by Taiwan's Foxconn for at least 25 years, a legislative analysis showed on Tuesday. Foxconn hopes to open a $10 billion plant in 2020 at a 1,000-acre site in southeastern Wisconsin and state leaders, including Republican Governor Scott Walker, have touted the incentives as a boon because of the jobs that will be created. Critics have attacked the plan as too expensive and potentially harmful to the environment. Officials have said Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, will employ about 1,000 people in the second half of 2017 and employment will grow to 13,000 by 2021. Based on estimates from the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau, Wisconsin will not receive a return on its investment in the project until about 2042. The bureau provides fiscal analysis for the state legislature. I WANT THIS TO SUCCEED!

I really enjoyed the ARKit article. I wish I could live another 50 years to see where all this leads.
In the late 60's I wrote software to integrate an early pre-GPS satellite navigation system into a ship based system that used an inertial navigation system to provide position and roll, pitch and heading, what the article refers to as 6DOF. In order to do what your phone does now, we had 3 orthogonal gyroscopes in a climate controlled chamber about the size of a refrigerator. We used the satellite position to correct the errors in the dead reckoning. We could maintain a position within 100 feet and we thought we were really hot stuff. Maybe we were for 1968, who knows.
I remember looking at Kalman filters then as a way to improve the dead reckoning and deal with errors, but it was a little beyond me mathematically and I was doing all the work at sea, so there was no one to ask for help. I am amazed that something that happened so long ago is still relevant, even at a primitive level.

If this is the case, I apologize if my comment was out of line. I had no idea.
