  • Joseph Bland on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'Hi, Robert, IMO, this all started with Mike Daisy, who was made famous by flat out lying about Apple, and who was given a major amount of play by th NYT. To my knowledge, they never reputiated the Daisy lies, and since that time, have continually had an anti-Apple bias. It’s almost like they just couldn’t admit they got it wrong, and so have always jumped at a chance to take a hatchet to Apple. So it’s really only their attitude towards Apple that I personally have a problem with.'
  • Gregg Thurman on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - '”Now think of how to “inflict maximum damage” with minimal impact on consumers AND investors and we’ll really have something.” We already have that tool. It’s called a ballot box. It doesn’t hurt employees, consumers or investors. And if the distribution of power shifts to the anti-Trump brigade then we’re on our way to the General election in 2029 where hopefully all MAGA sycophants are shown the exit door and we can start the healing.'

  • Neal Guttenberg on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - 'Bill, I don’t know if I am reading anything into it, but, to me, they seemed to imply that maybe Tim Cook should be held to a higher standard because he is gay.'
  • Robert Stack on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'Joe: How about Yay for the New York Times too? The newspaper that far too many here love to hate on. If the NYT didn’t exist – like so many here seem to wish – PED wouldn’t have the option to draw from it as he so very often does. Yet I will be the first to admit their tech coverage is terrible. So is Bloomberg’s obviously, yet on this forum that disdain seems to be specifically channeled at “Eddie”, not Bloomberg as a whole.'
  • Joseph Bland on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - '“…Apple. needs to include all major news sources.” Just an FYI, Rodney: Apple News doesn’t include NYT. Why? Apparently, NYT chose that. And I’ll be darned if I’m going to go along the NYT getting some kind of sweetheart deal just to “include all major news sources”.'
  • Robert Paul Leitao on Premarket: Apple was red, turned green - 'Mike: To be a bit more specific I’m seeking “Picks and shovel” enterprises that are AI beneficiaries. No matter what we think of the hyperscalers, the billions of dollars being poured to AI infrastructure is real and will flow fast through the economy. Many well-known industrials have already been bid up in price as anticipated AI spending beneficiaries . Corning is just one example. Still, I do like many of the major financial enterprises as I anticipate a pick-up in IPO activity over the next few years.'
  • Robert Paul Leitao on Think different: AI triggers a hiring boom at IBM - 'I grew up in a small Connecticut town that served as a bedroom community for many IBM executives. Big Blue is headquartered in nearby Armonk, NY. Over the decades I’ve continued to follow the company and especially now as it is entering a renaissance in the AI era and is positioned to be a leader in the era of quantum computing that is fast approaching today. Although the shares fell off sharply in price this week (dropping 12.23% on the week), the share price has been advancing fairly steadily over the past few years. I very much like the stock as an attractive total return equity and for its prolific patent activity. I think the company has effectively integrated the acquisition of Red Hat into its businesses and Arvind Krishna is a steady hand at the helm of the company.'
  • Steven Philips on Think different: AI triggers a hiring boom at IBM - 'This isn’t a marker for the future, it’s just filling a temporary gap – until they no longer need to.'
  • Joseph Bland on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'This’s ONLY being reported on Apple News by ped30.com. Evidently, the NYT has zero presence on Apple News. Yay, PED!'
  • Joseph Bland on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'This is ONLY being reported on Apple News by ped30.com. Evidently, the NYT has zero presence on Apple News.'

  • Joseph Bland on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'I’d be interested in hearing what those supporting this Administration now have to say – if they’re not too busy reporting some of us to Big Brother….'
  • Joseph Bland on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'How did this happen in the United States of America? If this doesn’t get a lot of so-called Republicans and Libertarians off the fence, then nothing will. And since that may be what it takes to remove this raging cancer from the body politic, then we may indeed be witnessing the death of freedom both here and, eventually, everywhere.'
  • Neal Guttenberg on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - 'Best way to resist is not to have elected someone you dislike so much in the first place. Get the parties to nominate better candidates. But get people out to vote and make educated decisions. I’ve seen stuff by people saying they are not voting because the candidate doesn’t represent them and it doesn’t matter who is elected. I think most of us feel and see the consequences of this right now. If you didn’t vote in this last election, just shut up about all of this. Galloway lives in London. Don’t know if he even votes. He said he was paying for several subscriptions for years that he wasn’t using. He said he is not giving up his iPhone. It sounded like the interviewer wasn’t going to drop Apple hardware as well. Galloway’s contribution sounded like he was going to use Uber X instead of the costlier version. He wants the boycott to hurt companies so that they can talk truth to power. But that is what Tim Cook, I think, is using his access for. This is a boycott of convenience. He doesn’t want to inconvenience anybody. Just my take on things.'
  • Rodney Avilla on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - 'I believe you are missing the point of the ‘Bias Apple News’ post. It is NOT about content, but sources. They did not claim that Apple is biased against conservative content, but conservative sources. There is a big and important difference. Now I fully realize that content may be influenced by sources. But if Apple intends to be fair and wants to provide news for all, then it needs to include all major news sources. What source is read should be determined by the reader; I don’t want to be told by the right or left (or Apple) where I should be getting my content. Having said that, I do find the info you’re posting very interesting and worth reading, even if it doesn’t pertain to the Apple bias post.'
  • Jonny T on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - 'Okay so I’ll be the most base and crass of all: Galloway is a nasty little prick, right alongside Rob Enderle and Tommo_UK. Nowt more to say and moved on already…'

  • David Emery on Think different: AI triggers a hiring boom at IBM - 'Well, having friends who used to work for IBM, they tend to treat people as disposable assets. Not sure I’d want to work for them.'
  • Gregg Thurman on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'I bought it years ago. Every couple of years I dust it off and view it again. Dalton Trumbo, while on Hollywood’s communist blacklist, rewrote Spartacus for Kirk Douglas. Spartacus IS a timeless classic.'
  • Gregg Thurman on Think different: AI triggers a hiring boom at IBM - 'Finally, somebody has thought through the impact on jobs and in so doing found value in AI AND the people it will displace. Give them new jobs that AI can’t perform.'

  • David Emery on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - '“I’m Spartacus!” I’d like to know how to rig my social media accounts to get onto ICE’s list. That’s one way to defeat it.'
  • Greg Lippert on Google, Meta and Reddit identified anti-ICE protestors for the Trump administration - 'Sounds like authoritarianism 101. MAGA is new fascism for the 21st century. Release the Trump-Epstein files! He likes everything named after himself, nothing is more appropriate.'

  • Steven Philips on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - 'OK, apologies for my comment at the top. – – except as it applies to Galloway. I was mistaking Tim Miller for one of the other Bulwark guys. (Not Bill Kristol! 🙂 ) Sorry!'
  • David Emery on Saturday Apple video: Nose to nose with the dogs (2025) - 'OK, -that- would make me try a AVP to watch the dogs. (When I was a kid, we had a German Shorthair Pointer that we showed for a bit. I even won 1st in ‘Junior Handler’…)'

  • Timothy Smith on 'Tim Cook is the one who pisses me off the most' - 'If Tim Cook, aka Lindsey Graham, had lived up to his claimed standards for corporate leaders, Trump would be gone by now, or at least rendered irrelevant. All the other tech bosses, except Thiel and Musk, would have followed. Instead, we have masked thugs murdering citizens without consequences. And now we have a government shutdown because Dems demand ICE act like EVERY OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION. Crazy liberals! Everybody attacks Galloway for trying to do something positive, all because it might temporarily damage their stock porfolios. If you don’t like his plan, supply an alternative.'
  • Robert Paul Leitao on Premarket: Apple was red, turned green - 'Apple closed out the trading week at $256.78, down $5.95 on the day. Apple ended trading last Friday at $277.86. At today’s closing price, the shares shed $22.08 in value over the five trading days this week.'
