Oh, F North Korea. Dear Leader may be dumb to think Dennis Rodman is worth having over for tea, but not even Teen Kim is stupid to think he can win a war. A few strategically-placed daisy cutters will let them see the light in that dark, God forsaken excuse of a country. In other news, intriguing new rumors of a REAL iTV later this year. New twists include a "ring" controller and deploying portable screens to help revolutionize the living room. appleinsider.com/articles/13/04/03/rumor-apple-television-with-iring-motion-controller-to-launch-this-year |

Who's winning the mobile Web? Not Blackberry. Not Microsoft. Not Chrome. Not Symbian. No, NOT Android! Yes, breathe easier Apple followers. Safari rules the electronic roost, growing from 65.35 to 66.4% from Feb. to March at the expense of that train wreck of a platform, Android. tech.fortune.cnn.com/2013/04/03/apple-android-web-share/ |

I'm not sure about the ring idea myself. But hey, the margins in the jewelry business put even Apple's to shame. |

I can already picture the first youtube video of an "iRing" proposal.

Not AAPL, but the June E-Mini S&P 500 is about to hit Avi's target for the start of a pullback.

I'm encouraged by Brian White's iTV claims today. Hope they pan out. Not sure I can afford to be a first gen adopter though  |

Rumor season began April 1. Much more fun than FUD season which runs every quarter from the day after record earnings to the first day of the month before earnings. This stuff looks cool, believable, and transformative  |

This stuff looks cool, believable, and transformative Agreed. I'm feeling even better about the near term future of AAPL. Very interesting stuff out there today, tempting us more about what is in Apple's product pipeline that feeds the confidence of Tim Cook. Even BGR, that haven of Blackberry paradise, is running the Apple TV rumor on the front page. bgr.com/2013/04/03/apple-itv-release-date-topeka-412049/?utm_source=featuredposts-widget-main&utm_medium=home |

Starting this month, Google has changed the way that it logs what version of Android people are using. Previously your device was counted when a device checked in to any Google server. Now they only count your device when you visit the Play store. Google says they are doing this to "more accurately reflect users that are engaged in the Android ecosystem." So there has been an artificial jump in the number of reported devices that have been updated to Jelly Bean, as the method of counting has changed. developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.htmlThis is interesting to me because it seems to be a tacit admission by Google that the way it tracks Android users (including activations) has not been accurately reflecting numbers of people who are actually engaged in the Android ecosystem. |

Well no surprise. The market is red and so is GOOG. That only leaves one direction for aapl to go. UP.
I want a thinner faster iPad. If we get one in May that should help us stay over 500 once we get there.

Would this go to say that in the past they have been counting all the Chinese "Android" devices and the Amazon devices? Both of which don't come with Google Play Store. So, if this is true we may actually see a significant drop in the number of Androids. |

Why would Apple give you a ring that could get lost and then needs to be passed between people to control the TV? Also why add another iPad to watch TV when you already have one? I still don't see an Apple TV until 2014 at the earliest. Apple needs content, as in live and the latest shows. The studios and cable companies are not ready to give them control. Next year after about 650 million users, Apple may have more leverage for deals. |

Android "smartphones'" (what a laugh) primary use is as a feature phone, that rarely gets used to surf the net/use data. That's possible because #1/ they are cheap, #2/ the users aren't inclined to pay for stuff. THESE ARE NOT APPLE TARGETED CUSTOMERS It explains Apple's GM% superiority over ANY Android manufacturer. Apple sells utility and ease of use (software) wrapped in the highest quality hardware. Android manufacturers sell a stolen UI, wrapped in plastic cases, suitable only for making telephone calls. |

I still don't see an Apple TV until 2014 at the earliest. The AppleTV (as Apple intends it) is already shipping. It has been for several years. The combination of AirPlay, an iPad/iPhone, an AppleTV and Apps will undermine traditional content delivery. Right now, we have Apps from the NBA, MLB, ESPN, NCAA March Madness, and others that deliver content via the INTERNET, streamed to your large format TV via Airplay. There will come a time when the "App" is placement on the AppleTV "home" screen, not requiring download. Instead of paying for the season (remains an option) you pay for the program/event you desire. Except for live broadcasts you watch when YOU want to, not when a program manager says you must. Let Samsung and Vizio manufacture very low margin commodities once every 5 - 7 years. Apple will sell the content on an ongoing daily basis. Time/Warner, Cox, Comcast, and a myriad of Others, will become dumb pipe providers. Comcast has already figured that out, that's why they bought NBC ( content) |

Agree with most of your post Gregg, but "...suitable only for making telephone calls." is an untrue statement.

Comcast has already figured that out, that's why they bought NBC ( content) I know there are many who like the easy logic of assuming Apple TV hockey puck is Apple's end game. It's not. There's a LOT missing from it and although Apple could probably integrate additional features, Apple is better off starting from a clean sheet. Finally, there are a lot of people who still don't GET an Apple TV hockey puck. They will have an easier time understanding a TV that incorporates the features that reside in the current Apple TV. Apple isn't going to reinvent the living room selling a $99 part, and it certainly isn't going to move the needle on the f/s. Apple needs to control the software and hardware to reinvent the dinosaur. You don't do that by half-assing it with a dongle. The iPanel, or iTV will incorporate all of the following and more: 1. Siri 2. FaceTime 3. One box/One cord 4. Remote 5. Airplay 6. Menu interface 7. Apps 8. Gaming capable 8. Style 9. Customer support 10. iOS7 11. Content |

We close green and I will consider it a victory.
I just like to see 435+ by tomorrow. It will make 440 easier for Friday.

WTF! - US is sending defense missiles to Guam in response to S. Korea provocation. Hagel basically saying they are a clear and present danger.
This is affecting markets and probably AAPL over the next 24-48 hours.
No good can come from this crap!

It is just political posturing. It will all blow off in a few weeks if not days.
Can't wait to move all the manufacturing out of Samsung factories. We will need to wait 3 more years for that.
Look forward to moving a large part here in the next 5 years.

430 - new psychological reference level.
Surprisingly stable price action today.
