Stephen Gordon on Switching to B/W on her Apple iPhone made her appreciate the 'color and beauty of real life' - 'Okay, so I used greyscale all day and thought it went great, as I felt like I noticed the physical world a bit more as I was out and about. However, once nightfall arrived, I preferred having color again, as it was easier on the eyes, which were starting to feel the strain from looking at a black-and-white screen in a dark setting.'
on Apple regains the global smartwatch lead, but Huawei is set to overtake - 'You “put emphasis on something”, but ideally, you “emphasize something”. Strunk and White (“The Elements of Style”) is somewhere next to the Ark in the last scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. And don’t get me started on “a peek of something”. It’s like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.'
on Premarket: Apple was red, turned green - 'What a tease. AAPL was green all day then went red just before the close. Only about 16M shares traded. Should heat up next week before the last trading day of the year.'
on A Christmas Carol from Apple - 'Someone needs to teach her some new cuss words. It almost appears that Apple is on an one-company mission to fill our ‘airwaves’ with a word that maybe they feel has been missing for too many years?'
on Apple regains the global smartwatch lead, but Huawei is set to overtake - 'Can you “emphasize ON” something?'
on Barron's: Why Apple is green - 'Yep I agree Gregg. It’s existential for Massimo. Not existential though for Epic/Sweeney.'
on Barron's: Why Apple is green - 'My take: I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Masimo to be over. Without a victory over Apple (and the rest of the blood oxygen industry) Maximo is going nowhere. The prize, if it prevails, is just too big to walk away.'
on Switching to B/W on her Apple iPhone made her appreciate the 'color and beauty of real life' - 'No thanks. My thought is that for the true black and white experience, then the same change needs to be made to all television and streaming viewing. I’ll stick with color. Just like “Nipper” and RCA back in the day who were overjoyed with color television.'
on Barron's: Why Apple is green - 'Doomed, I tell you! (Seriously, though, what’s happening in India?)'
on Premarket: Apple was red, turned green - 'Apple is up 9.70% year-to-date versus 17.90% for the S&P 500, 14.50% for the Dow 30 and 22.30% for the Nasdaq Composite. The Russell 2000 small cap index is up 13.66%. Apple continues to under perform the broad market.'
on A Christmas Carol from Apple - 'Rhea Seehorn is a wonderful actress. From Better Call Saul to this series, never a false note.'
on A Christmas Carol from Apple - 'I keep looking at this, the comments and the trailer, etc. and really can’t get into it. Something must be wrong with me… I’ll keep trying.'
on A Christmas Carol from Apple - 'My guess: It’s to make a point: A dozen humans in a high tech world, who get whatever they want from billions of the most willing of slaves. Even an atomic bomb…. Hell of a social message, don’t you think? And not dissimilar to the message delivered about 20 centuries ago….'
