The Apple Store on 5th Ave in New York is one of the most photographed landmarks in the world (Source: http://www.iphonesavior.com/2009/04/fifth-avenue-apple-store-among-worlds-most-photographed-landmarks.html). There is good reason for that as this construction (I don’t call it building) looks amazing at every time of the day, especially at night when it rains.
During today’s iPhone OS 3.0 media event, Apple showed a preview of their new stock application. Surprisingly to me (Disclaimer: I’m an Apple share-holder), they didn’t show today’s real AAPL stock-price which ranged between 95.07 and 99.69 but instead showed a quote of 125.42. The last time Apple traded at that price was in September 2008. While I admit that I would like to see AAPL trading at that price, I do not understand Apple’s intention in using a stock price that is more than 25% higher than the reality. I remember Steve Jobs joking about the AAPL real-time stock-price during earlier keynotes in which he was using the real quotes and not some fake numbers. Side-note: The other stock-quotes that were listed in the application were real numbers from today. See some screenshots taken off Apple’s Webcast that can be found here. [singlepic id=31 w=320 h=240 float=left][singlepic id=32 w=320 h=240 float=left]I had to do some currency conversions today and I’m usually relying on Apple’s Dashboard Widget “Unit Converter”.
Now, Apple claims to get the data from Yahoo Finance although their website shows the real numbers:
I wonder if I’m the only one having that problem. I’m running the latest version of OS X Leopard and have all recent updates installed.
There is evidence that Apple started shipping their .Mac successor product MobileMe to customers. A friend sent me a picture of the box he received today. When he called up the Apple Support number, they told him that it was sent by mistake and that a courier will pick it up again the next day… Click to continue reading “Apple’s MobileMe boxes are arriving – by mistake…” |
