Anyway, to go back on topic, anyone who hasn't already seen the Beard's epic rant on Twitter to that worm from the PC agency quoted in The Guardian, it was great. I suspect the Beard had been imbibing a few Heinekens when he wrote those tweets. As was the case with my last post of the intraday thread yesterday (IPA's, not Heinekens). Nice to finally see some green.

Must… refrain…. from entering…. climate debate…. in this thread. <= Note my employer. No need to: there is no debate. I am REALLY glad to see Apple green today, just as they proved their "green" during the annual meeting. The recent drop made no sense, even in sell the news world.

... Traditional timepieces are jewelry, and it's possible it won't be any different than a gold chain in 2-3 years. Maybe it will become fashionable to remove the band and hang it around one's neck? Lack of imagination. Pierce a hole in each ear, dangle those watches like ear rings. For those who don't have strong ears, can have an ultra thin liquid metal hook.

Or the conflict of interest climate "scientists" have when they only get grants if their research purports to show warming. Far more money in climate "science" comes from such biased grant sources than the oil industry. It's like a PhD candidate in Sociology writing a dissertation that all welfare should be eliminated. Good luck with that, LOL! Of course, the field of climate "science" itself has a selection bias - most people who go into it already think the sky is falling (much like Sociology). So they change the data. Or make excuses after the fact when their models fail to show an 18-year pause in warming. Yep, gotta disclose the bias! Cheers to the longs (of AAPL and XOM). You guys are so easy to tweak! Very true and you are as easy to re-tweak. Sounds like a name for a new social media site "Tweakers." "Feeling bored get tweaked at "Tweakers." There is no tweak that goes unanswered and I have 150,000 followers on "Tweakers." The opportunities are there for any young Zuckerberg out there. Carpe diem.

Above $124 would be a really positive close for this stock but I am hearing murmurs that above $125 and the conductor may be sounding a "Train leaving the station" - anyone else seeing or hearing this?

I think some people on this board might be tweaking, but using a different connotation of that word.

MM = 147 ABCD fib extension from 105 low when we double bottomed off the 120 prior high. Considering we have held (so far) the .382 fib.

Has anyone found anything real that addresses the long term upgradability of the watch? I have to admit that the edition version with the black and gold with the black band looks pretty elegant to me. I would not even consider it if it was going to have a life of less than 5 years. Replacing batteries is fine, but it is pretty clear that in a few iterations, the watch will improve to the point that the iPhone will not be needed. When new models roll out with improved capabilities, including more health sensors, Apple should be able to upgrade the watch to match the current version. It would make sense to me to make the Edition version upgradeable, even if it meant that they replace the watch with a current version, and not extend that to the sport and regular versions. That way, for 15K you get a watch for life, while the other versions will become obsolete. Given the difference in the price...$1K to $15K, I think this make sense. At least, that's the way I would do it I know that they didn't announce this, but it is not too late. If I remember, Apple changed the price on the first iPhone when they realized that they had missed it. C'mon Apple make it last forever

Although disclosure of potential conflicts of interest isn't required in such opinion pieces, perhaps it should be. This reminds me of the "scientist" who continually published pieces in research journals that attributed any global warming to short term fluctuations in the sun's energy; nearly everyone believes he is wrong, and he failed to disclose that his research is largely funded by sources within or close to the oil industry. When big money gets involved, ethics can go out the window. Or the conflict of interest climate "scientists" have when they only get grants if their research purports to show warming. Far more money in climate "science" comes from such biased grant sources than the oil industry. It's like a PhD candidate in Sociology writing a dissertation that all welfare should be eliminated. Good luck with that, LOL! Of course, the field of climate "science" itself has a selection bias - most people who go into it already think the sky is falling (much like Sociology). So they change the data. Or make excuses after the fact when their models fail to show an 18-year pause in warming. Yep, gotta disclose the bias! Cheers to the longs (of AAPL and XOM). You absolutely pulled that right out of your ass. Your fox knowledge is showing.

Caught this in the Twitter feed. Tim Cook made a surprise call into Jim Cramer's Mad Money show. Tim totally caught Jim off guard and they had a short candid discussion. Apple's ambitions for health kit and enabling individuals to take control of their own health are huge. This is a big deal. That is one important example of something practical that can't be done with a mechanical watch. If I was in the current luxury watch business, I would seriously consider selling aftermarket bands and licensing watch faces. video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000361340

You absolutely pulled that right out of your ass. Your fox knowledge is showing. Actually, I made several valid points, linked to several sources (not one of which was Fox News), and you just called me a poo poo head rather than address them intelligently. In real science, scientists actually encourage dissent and a rigorous debate and review of their hypotheses and data. They don't circle the wagons and call those challenging their methods heretics. That's how religions work. In real science, you don't get to change the data and even the hypothesis in the middle of the experiment. It really is amazing that the side of the aisle that is afraid of GMO's and nuclear power think they are all sciencey. I'll keep bitin' if you libs want to keep trollin'.

Tim Cook calling Mad Money.
That would not, could not, have happened two years ago,
What a change in Apple's control of its message. Looking outward, not just looking inward

Its Cramer and his lately continual calls not to trade aapl but simply own it. Cramer himself understands this insane price movement and Cook sees a way to underline it.

I agree. As an academic, the bias is everywhere !

That TC call into Jim Cramer was excellent. I just hope that they use it dozens of times tomorrow throughout the day!

The really sad thing is that in this country global warming can be regarded as something that has to do with politics, instead of as a simple noncontroversial fact (which it is).

And you base this conclusion on your Fine Arts degree? Updated list of 63 excuses for the 18-26 year 'pause' in global warmingGo ahead and tell us, sciencey libs, why is it not as hot as 1998 if CO2 emissions are like double since then?
