But as a shareholder, I still don't know why I don't want my $43/share distributed to me, and Steve J. isn't really talking about it.

So, I guess, yes, they may be buying Dell or something, but I don't get it. #chartoftheday

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @met2art: Not everyone has a smartphone and not everyone has to have high resolution glasses that augment reality and make reading webpages or navigating far easier. Also people who lose their glasses all the time shouldn't get these when they're available.

Depending on what kind of artist or musician you are, you might find them capable of augmenting your work in interesting ways. For example a camera in the glasses could track two blank pages on a music stand and overlay the notes. You wouldn't have to turn the pages. #singularity

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Jeb_Hoge: We agree. We run into psycho individual business owners all the time.

We think the reason is they have good ideas, but really can't work for or work with anyone else. All is well when things are working, but ask them to handle a customer call and all hell breaks loose.

However, some of them do put out interesting products.... #macpadd

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @jinushaun: Nothing and no one is recession proof. Apple has the same kind of investor ride Google was getting after it's IPO. Apple = profitable but shares are trading between 45 and 60x P/E. That and your not getting a dividend. It makes me wonder why they are charging such a premium to hold their stock and what they plan on doing with that stockpile. If it's not a big acquisition, $34B is WAY too much money to have on the sidelines... It makes me wonder if they're waiting for some inevitable FTC anti-trust smack-down for the iTunes/iPhone/iPod ecosystem... #chartoftheday

I got to sit with Steve Sinofsky.

Twitter execs must have won and wanna pitch a profitable version of the service to old Billo #billgateshousetour
