Patently Apple has an extensive article that highlights the complexities of equipping self-driving vehicles with the ability to autonomously make lane changes in Apple Won 48 Patents today covering an Autonomous Vehicle Lane Change System and an Odd one covering future Wearables. I kind of skipped through the Wearables one, but the Lane Change section does a great job of explaining the complexities that a human driver must evaluate and respond to when changing lanes. For example: “Given the kinematic state of the ego vehicle and predictions for other static/dynamic objects in the origin lane and target lane, the decision making component identifies a gap into which to lane change, a temporal parametrization of the lane change maneuver, and an initial guess for the acceleration profile. This is used by trajectory determination component to compute the final motion plan.” Oh yeah, and then the “final motion plan” has to be successfully executed. My admiration for the human brain just soared.

Gag me with a spoon, remember that? Self driving cars are the worst thing that could ever happen. Meanwhile Apple on the Overbought RSI front has a pretty clear divergence on the MFI (just factors Volume into RSI). And there is a recent gap up around 147. Gaps are either filled or the stock runs fro a while. So we will see. Can Apple hold its level while looking weak on the short term charts? This is short term only.
My iPad is driving me nots with feature creep. i hate the way it adds another screen to what I am doing any time I tap or inadvertently touch it. To me these features are useless and even worse. They make me less likely to buy another or upgrade. Whose idea was having multiple windows open on an iPad? One is more than enough and then it takes 5 minutes to get rid of these things that appear from no where. Feature creep with "unlimited" choices and customization is just silly. I was reading a book and touched the side of the iPad and another window opened covering a third of the screen. Really some one actually needs this when they are reading a book? I may have to get a reader from amazon. Barnes and Noble had nice readers several years ago that actually looked like news print with good B&W contrast. Now that would be something I could use.

I have the same complaint about Apple. Why are they always trying to teach me something I don't care about, including new features. And indeed, adding to the screen.
Is this again a solution in search of a problem? (Hint, Touch Bar.)

Thanks Duckpins, I had to look-up MFI and this is what I found. How the Money Flow Index and Relative Strength Index Differ
But it is showing 48.68 on the weekly and 58.70 on the daily. Are these still considered overbought?

Well, here’s my question for those who are annoyed with Apple: so, are you ready to switch vendors, and if so then who is at the top of your list? In my 40 year career in software development I was in a number of software environments - various flavors of Unix, Windows, Dec, IBM, and a couple of custom operating systems. I have never owned anything but Apple hardware and software. Is it perfect? No, but over all, I have never seen anything better. YMMV.

Same here. Precisely.

I have never owned anything but Apple hardware and software. Is it perfect? No, but over all, I have never seen anything better. YMMV. Few people really know or care about what is happening inside of their devices. But they do care about how you interact with that device. And they care that some super new time saving improvement causes you to spend more time trying to undo said time saving improvement than it’s worth. This was one of the biggest complaints that I had about Windows, its complicated complexities. Time spent trying to undo some feature that is buried under multiple layers of selections. Which is why many people were reluctant to do updates because of the fear of not knowing what they would be faced with after the reboot. I’m starting to have that fear. What if you took your car to be serviced and when you picked it up you found that all of the controls had been rearranged. Yes the car is running great, but you can’t find the switch to turn the heated seats off. The manufacturer thought that it was best this way.

But my question for you is: If you weren’t so heavily invested in Apple, but let’s say you were instead invested in Microsoft, would you be coming to Microsofts defense?

No. There is a divergence. Meaning the MFI is going down and the stock is going up or hold steady, not following it down.

The Justice Department is edging closer to a potential antitrust complaint against Apple Inc. AAPL, 1.08%, according to a Wall Street Journal report, citing people familiar with the matter. The years-long investigation into the iPhone maker’s monopoly power has escalated in recent months, with more litigators assigned to the case and new requests for documents and consultations with companies involved, according to the report. Apple was not immediately available for comment. In his State of the Union speech last week, President Joe Biden called for a crackdown on Big Tech.

Since we are asking questions, here is one for you. Would you be so anti-Cook, if you didn’t disagree with his politics and social initiatives so strongly? Keeping in mind that the likes of Warren Buffet continues to be such a strong believer in Apple, and keeps investing. Which is a de-facto endorsement of Cook being a world-class CEO. And Apple being a top-tier world-class company.

But my question for you is: If you weren’t so heavily invested in Apple, but let’s say you were instead invested in Microsoft, would you be coming to Microsofts defense? That’s a moot point because my work experience with Apple and its products is what drove (and drives) my choice to invest in the company. I have no such feelings based on the times I was forced to use Microsoft products for a couple of jobs. Also, my question was in general who do you think is better than Apple, not just considering Microsoft.
