The video of the campus is amazing. The number of features, e.g. the atria, fitness center, tunnels, fountains, landscaping etc. is remarkable. I just wonder how Apple can afford all this.

Let's hope that campus helps the guys speed things up a little.

I keep seeing article after article stating Apple may come out with a curved screen. Maybe I am ignorant, but I see no benefit to a curved screen, what am I missing?

I usually consider that good news Especially if the shorts are hedges for long positions, I think.

There are only 30 companies in the Dow. #28th shorted sounds like a good thing.

If this comes to pass then I have to think that the Touch Bar is a related item, regardless of which was conceived first.

Thanks for the link, I still don't get it. Seems touch sensitive buttons on the side of a curved screen might get activated at the wrong time. Dropped iPhones with a curved screen might be more prone to crack?? Curved screens to me seem an answer to a problem that doesn't exist, but I am willing to be wrong especially if it increases Apple's sales .

The touch bar is nice. But it is a bit of glitter, NOT a game changer. All the function is still also on the screen, and the Touch Bar requires additional memory overload to know what is on the touch bar at any given moment. Possibly a distraction for some.

Yes. It sounded great, but was not impressed in practice. It changes for every app.
If it were easy to set up for one's individual preferences, and one used the app a good deal, then OK, good deal.
