on What the decapitation of Iran means for Apple - 'If the Russian shadow tanker fleet continues to be interdicted, prices for Russian oil will go up and availability will go down. Of course, Russia can construct pipelines to China, but not (directly) to many other neutral countries.'
on What the decapitation of Iran means for Apple - 'If Trump really wanted to destroy Iran he should become their president. MY TAKE After the very protracted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with all the pernicious peripheral actions – not to mention Donald’s kidnapping of Venezuela’s president and the hyperbolic on-again off-again tariff war and pathological bullying of friends and foes alike, I can’t imagine how blowing up Iran – which has been in a protracted war against “the West” and its neighbors ever since 1979, is going to affect Apple. Why? Because Apple is not in the war business. Truth is, everyone likes to use Apple stuff, including our enemies. I guess being the most popular and benevolent company on the planet has its benefits.'

on What the decapitation of Iran means for Apple - 'Hi, David. Russia will benefit financially from a curtailment of oil. And so will this President’s other oil barron cronies. Do NOT underestimate the Powers behind Trump’s Throne. He may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but they’re no dummies. Just unbelievably callous and greedy.'

on NATO trusts Apple, Pentagon trusts Grok - 'Update on Trump’s rage against Anthropic and Claude for drawing various redlines to prevent its tech from being used to conduct war. It looks like Anthropic either caved or Trump blew right through their redlines. Because the WSJ is reporting that Anthropic tech was a key tool used in US attack on Iran. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/iran-strikes-2026/card/u-s-strikes-in-middle-east-use-anthropic-hours-after-trump-ban-ozNO0iClZpfpL7K7ElJ2'
on Saturday Apple video: The structure of a Steve Jobs keynote - 'Gregg Thurman said: “I didn’t even see a woman until 7:15.” **Please check again, Gregg. Go to minute 4:50 and watch as a bare MacBook(?) chassis is passed down a row in the audience. The woman I believe to be Laurene Powell Jobs is sitting to the left of a woman with reddish hair and to the right of a gentleman with a blue shirt.'
on Premarket: Apple is red - 'Oops! Didn’t make it! “Don’t speak too soon for the wheel’s still in spin For the times they are a-changing.” Again.'
