... Samsung store in Singapore catches fire ahead of S8 launch. Too bad Amazon trademarked Fire.

Note the Bloomburg reporter who seems to have no idea about Apple Maps being totally dominant on the iOS platform.

Apple Maps led me on a wild goose chase two winters ago and I swore it off. Put me .25 miles from the correct location which Google maps nailed. IMO, Google maps *is* much better than Apple maps.

Apple missed out when they didn't buy Waze. That said, I use Apple maps and haven't had any issues.

Apple Maps has messed me up in the past, but has gotten much better imo. A year ago, while driving, I (carefully) checked Maps for traffic; it said all clear. I trusted it. Then I got stuck in a mile-long jam for 20 minutes. Thanks, Tim... But really, I use only the Maps app, and it hasn't hiccupped since.

As most of you know, I am no chartist, but I was struck by the pattern in today's chart, which had a sawtooth look to it at both the macro and micro levels. It seemed that every drop was followed by a gain. The gains were not quite the size of the drops, so APPL ended slightly underwater. But I chose to interpret the pattern to indicate that there are a lot of buyers out there just looking for a good entry point, some of whom leap in when the number they have in their head is crossed.
But you know me, the eternal APPL optimist, and I may just be giddy from the recent run. Others may have said every gain was followed by a drop.
As for Maps, Google obviously had a big head start, so at first I kept the Google maps app on my devices as a backup for the times when I doubted what Maps was showing me, or more often what it wasn't showing me. But after a while I found that I rarely used the Google app and deleted it.
