Good morning ... green is a good color. Up in PM once again but it's all about the close. NYT Dealbook article: "Court Rejects Apple Appeal in E-Book Case" should be irrelevant to today's price action. "a one-page ruling from the three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit did put some limits on how far Mr. Bromwich can go in demanding documents and interviews with Apple employees"And to validate how awful CNBC really is and demonstrate the incredulous clowns they continue to parade, zerohedge sums it up with Gartman Does It Again...Again - it will make you shake your head for sure: www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-10/gartman-does-it-again-againOn the good ship lollipop ... and on a more somber note in other news, Shirley Temple passed away this morning at the age of 85...

blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/02/11/foxconn-working-with-google-on-robotics/People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that Foxconn has been working with former Android executive Andy Rubin since last year to carry out the U.S. company’s vision for robotics ..... At the meeting, Gou expressed excitement over new automation technologies demonstrated by Rubin, they said. Rubin also asked Gou to help integrate a technology company that Google is acquiring as Foxconn’s strength lies in mechanical engineering. Google set up a new robotics group and acquired eight robotics companies last year, including Boston Dynamics, an engineering company that has designed mobile research robots for the Pentagon. The New York Times first reported Google’s robotics efforts and the acquisitions in December.

mobihealthnews.com/29776/rumors-speculation-and-predictions-for-apples-iwatch-healthbook/After talking to my own sources — who have limited but direct knowledge of Apple’s plans for the iWatch and Healthbook — I’ve compiled the list below of scoops, speculations and predictions about Apple’s iWatch and the Healthbook app. There are more than 200 people working on this project. ....... IWatch is a peripheral device, not a primary one. ...... Technological capabilities will be simpler than rumors have indicated. ..... Meeting the FDA was about remaining unregulated. ...... The Healthbook concept is right on but may not be the real name. ..... Skeptical of claims about hydration tracking. .... Apple’s focus is not on the technology, but on the experience of it. ... Healthbook to focus on exercise, diet, sleep, stress, medication adherence — maybe women’s health.

www.asymco.com/2014/02/10/fortune-130/I'm sure everyone has seen Horace's article analysing the size of Apple's iTunes business...I'm sure this has been discussed before although I don't recall reading it here - would there be any sense in spinning off the iTunes division as a separate company? They could remain as tightly integrated with the rest of Apple as before, but I wonder if that might not 'unlock' the iTunes division's growth and allow it to be valued more sensibly. You're talking about a growing retail business that is making huge profits (compared to, cough, Amazon), with potential to grow even faster if the spun-off company goes into mobile payments. A spun-off iTunes would be able to release data that focuses purely on the actual growth in iTunes sales, without that being balanced against the tired old cliches of 'falling market share' for iOS hardware - it would be impossible to ignore the reality that it's the iOS/iTunes users who are spending money online. In fact, I'd go further - is there also potential in spinning of Apple Retail as a separate company, with Angela Ahrendts in charge? Or perhaps Apple Retail and iTunes could be one company.

What would be the advantage to Apple (not AAPL) of doing that. Apple manages its business for what is good for Apple (not AAPL).

None...it'd actually be a negative to the company, though perhaps a boost for shareholders. This would be much worse than a buyback.

We are testing 537...while volume is not particularly strong, there remains consistent buying interest. Anything above 535 this week is great news.

would love to hear from some of you re: technicals All you need to know is when I buy back the shares I sold at $496, setting the floor. Then you can expect a trip back down to the $512 level to fill the gap up from last Friday.

Apple and Samsung accounted for 120% of profits in mobile phone industry in Q4. It's now a two man race. 120%? New math?

Good day. Will have major room to run if the SMA50 can be cleared.
Have a gut feeling that this is a pre-announcement run.

One of those two OEMs is having an innovation/brand mini-crisis. The other one remains on its set course, for better or for worse. Though in Apple's case, my bet's on better. BigPhone, coming soon!

This one is known to anyone in technology. Until there is a breakthrough in battery technology, all watch devices (and perhaps all wearable devices) will be peripheral devices rather than primary devices.
