Looks like Yellen is ready to raise rates soon. Could be more USD strength ahead...

Neil Cybart has a new target for those with current concerns about Apple's direction, Jonny Ive. Is this statement, "Jobs saw design as the best way to keep the user experience the most important priority during product development." from the horse mouth or is Neil's deduction?

Now you just need to download "Master and Commander" to your iPad from the iBook Store. It's a great read. In fact, it's such a great read you'll want to read the 19 followup volumes.

RUSH SAID: What happened was this. There's an Israeli company that created an amazing piece of malware, and they offered it for sale, million dollars minimum. The people who bought it were governments, primarily in the Middle East. What this did, I guess the way to describe it would be a very sophisticated form of phishing, p-h-i-s-h-i-n-g. The way it was discovered, there's a dissident/journalist in the United Arab Emirates, and he got a text message from somebody he didn't know. There was an internet link in the text message about a subject that he's very interested in, and that is torture in jails in Middle Eastern companies. He did not click on the link wisely, because he didn't know, he didn't recognize who had sent it to him. If he had clicked on that link, one link, his phone would have been jail broken, and the people behind it would have had access to everything on his phone. They would have been able to monitor him using the phone. They would have been able to listen via his microphone, watch via his camera. It was one of the most amazing exploits -- there were actually three, what they call zero day. There were three different exploits here combined in this one hack. Now, the odds that this is gonna happen to you are slim, but phishing is one of the most common tricks used to get people to, in a way in which they're totally unaware, expose the contents of their devices. You get an email from somebody, it's a fake email like it's from your credit card company or your bank, and it looks real. They tell you there's a problem in your account, please click on this link, it says, and reenter your ID information. And a lot of people fall for it. Well, in this case, you would have totally burned your phone. You would have jail broken the phone, which meant no security, anybody behind this link could have gotten into your phone and found out everything on it, all of your passwords, every password that you've got, every person in your contact sheet, your address book. So, yeah, upgrade to 9.3.5. One of the emails said, "How come Apple hasn't made a big deal out of this?" Well, they have in a way. In the tech community they have, and they're relying on the tech community to get the word out, but at the same time you don't like to admit that such vulnerabilities are possible. So it's been low-keyed a little bit. That's why I'm telling you to do it. It's harmless. In fact, nothing else is gonna happen. That patch is just gonna be placed on your phone, security is gonna be reestablished. That's the only reason to do it. Doesn't change, there's no new features, there's nothing that's gonna make the phone run better or worse. It just patches this giant security hole that was discovered just in the past 10 days. So that's what it's all about. www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/08/26/upgrade_your_iphone_software_right_now

I have no idea, but it certainly would not surprise me. The HBR article The Real Leadership Lessons of Steve Jobs supports that idea, but perhaps it should be discounted because of its author.

Tim Cook recently sold 334,000 shares of AAPL. What do you think he will buy with his money?

Started drinking around 2pm. Had a post by Dave Hamilton of The Mac Observer pop up in one of my feeds. Anybody else still cringe when something TMO catches their attention? I remember they treated people here very badly - their own customers. Anyway, enjoy the weekend. Garçon!

Mr. Cook was awarded a total of 1,260,000 shares. 656,117 shares (52.1% of the total number of shares released) were withheld by Apple to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements on vesting of RSUs.

Disney 5-year during Cook's tenure as CEO
Could have bought Disney to enhance TV. Should have bought Sirius radio to enhance CarPlay via Sat. Sometimes I wonder what the long game is . They didn't buy Wase. Growing pains becoming unmanageable? To much going on? or afraid of monopoly intervention? What do I know

Could have bought Disney to enhance TV. Should have bought Sirius radio to enhance CarPlay via Sat. Sometimes I wonder what the long game is . They didn't buy Wase. Growing pains becoming unmanageable? To much going on? or afraid of monopoly intervention? What do I know Once you have 36 Million in the bank, do you care if it grows to 72 Million? They’re all millionaires, that's why they have the balls to say that they don't care about the short term price of AAPL. If the price of AAPL goes down, the board will just double the stock option quantity to cover the difference. Its good to be King. Most, if not all, large tech company's decision makers for company direction are millionaires. For the long term success of Apple Inc., SHOULD they be concerned with the short term price of the company stock? From what I've seen of what has happened to AAPL over the years, even when Apple Inc. was doing well, my answer would definitely be no.
