If the stock market made sense, then it would be more predictable and the commoners would get better returns.

Obviously they are doomed. Billions is boring. They'd be in the trillions if Steve Jobs were still alive.

Store is down, did they announce anything new or price drops?

Apple are on such a giant pedestal that if they change a few icons or are rumoured to release a new iPhone people absolutely loose their shit. Let alone if they don't completely revolutionise a segment of the industry every 3 or 4 years. Craziness.

Maybe this is actually worse news for Google than Apple. We're pretty close to Samsung just forking Android

Bruised Apple: Buggy products and user censorship
The steady stream of problems with OS X Mavericks, iOS 7, Safari, and Retina MacBook Pros won't go away no matter how many forum comments Apple deletes.

New iPhones haven't saved Apple's stock
Despite glowing reviews and strong sales, new iPhones haven't done anything to get Apple's stock out of the doldrums.

This is the preceeding statement.
"That shows no discernible trend. Apple outperformed the Nasdaq a month after the iPhone was unveiled three times out of seven. In the other four years, Apple lagged."
So apple has done worse x 4 and well x3 I would say the trend is towards a bad performance.

I didn't see "better" listed anywhere there either ;-)
They would have to come up w/ something amazing. Unlike phones, there are some pretty nice TVs out there.
But who knows. The one thing they are really good at (or others are just plain bad at) is waiting until it is "right" before they release it. Why Samsung has bothered with that stupid watch is beyond me (clearly just trying to beat Apple to the game, even though it is all rumors).
There's a good video been floating around on how Google was going to take over the world, too.
Who doesn't want world domination?
- He didn't say "better," but he did write "high-quality" and then the whole section about taking time to make a TV productmonospaced
- It's about them making better products, not just getting to the market first.monospaced
- Also note the part about how "haters" don't understand. They just hate.monospaced
- Exactly, all business want to dominate, there's nothing "evil" about it.monospaced

Apple's Evil Plan for World Domination

The point is that they are relying solely on innovations, vs. diversifying to make more profits.
Stock price doesn't have to do with "innovation", it has to do with the profits that "innovation" brings to Apple. They have a gazillion dollars in cash, they have Fanboys, they'll do just fine for a long time, I have no doubt.
But it comes down to whether you want to bet on them coming up with something new, whenever that be. Can they do it again is the question.
I don't know the answer to that. I know that I have been disappointed in the 5 and 5s. My 4S seems pretty damn close.
I don't buy a "that's what Apple does..." thinking, though. Management changes, people move on, others are hired. Companies go up and down and it takes years for any changes to really settle in.
You can make an argument either way (I can see it both ways). I just feel like it is more and more a gamble based on your methodology - that Apple will just be Apple (the Apple of "innovation", not the one before that).
If you "believe" in that, then buy the stock, it is cheap.For me, I am not convinced, but always looking.

@set: Regarding your use of the word cunt in regards of me. Yes I design for mobile devices and yes I keep abreast of new developments but alas there are few here - hence my yawn.
Now stop getting your knickers in a twist and do some work. Its a tool, make use of it, don't make it your life's obsession.- Life obsession haha. I focus on it for the five or so minutes at a time that I read qbnset
