CA Minimum Wage is Bad for Workers? Inconceivable!!

Scramble all available fighters, it's time to release a new iPhone!

Code magenta, this ain't a drill!

Shoot, ceo'n for Apple ain't no thing, I already got 90% of the job figured out.

Is it make the next generation phone:

- 20% bigger
- with 5% less battery life
- with 50% more storage (for 200% more $)



If any shmuck could do it, then Cook should be sitting pretty. Instead, he's trying to run on the cred of what Jobs did.

He's pushing out $99 Apple Pencils, something which Jobs said that Apple would have a stylus, "Over my dead body." Weeeeeellllp Steve...

He didn't like the big screens either.

See Kaz, you could do it too.

Just get a turtle neck, drop some acid, and start believing in holistic medicine.

It's called a tactleneck. The only question is what color: Black or a slightly darker Black?

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Terms of enrampagement indeed.

Apple has hit Peak iPhone because the carriers suddenly decided to stop subsidizing new phones. I used to upgrade mine every 2 years for 0-$100, now they want $599 in easy payments. Fuck that.

No new iPhone until it's back to human prices for me.

Since we've been discussing whether CEO deserve the pay they get:

[url=http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/06/technol ... k-pay-cut/]Apple cuts Tim Cook's pay 15% for missing sales goals[/url.

Good.

Investors should be holding the leaders of their investments much more accountable.

I would even take some schadenfreude in investors/boards holding CEO and officers MUCH more accountable.

Ditto on the iPhone.

High Progressive tax rates would take the wind out of the sails of high pay.

What's the problem with Tim Cook again? Stock was $50/share when he took over, now $117/share, and they've done $37 billion in buybacks and paid out $12 billion in divideds this last year, AAPL is hardly a gross offender, when it comes to investor capital returns.

Tim Cook wouldn't feel it if they took three-quarters of his pay. 15% is window-dressing.
