Ehh – it’s kind of a no-lose for Saxo. They’ve framed it on their “outrageous predictions” list as something that they don’t actually believe will happen. Two options of what can happen here:
A) When Apple goes sideways or up, they say ‘said we didn’t actually believe it would go down — it was just an outrageous prediction.’
B) In the unlikely event that AAPL goes down (at all — even if not close to 50%).. they can claim, ‘see, we were geniuses’.In the mean time, everyone has now heard the name Saxo Bank (which at least for me, hadn’t been the case before today).

Exactly, mention Apple and immediately make headlines. It’s kind of ridiculous having a “outrageous predictions” anyway.

A good example of a “hitwhore”

Smack down over negative review of Nexus. Reminds me of the debate between William Buckley and Gore Vidal during a Republican convention years ago resulting in a physical confrontation.

The link below is from my iPads view of ExtremeTech. It’s the first site I’ve seen that uses standard HTML to produce a FlipBoard like result. Expect this is a forerunner to many more.

Would delete this if I could. It is a reply to Nicu’s post where it is repeated.

This is the very definition of irony.

Good complete discussion with some new graphs and stats.

Interesting article that nicely illustrates some of the basic weaknesses of a commodity strategy in this space.
– In light of recent hysterical posts here on Traderhood, this line stood out to me,
“Just yesterday, Google removed 22 malware infected apps masquerading as popular apps such as Angry Birds. . . . “-

Yeah, the Fandroids don’t usually like to talk about that stuff. There are pluses and minuses to either ecosystem, but I kind of like when I download a bank X app, I know that it’s not sending all of my critical information to some crook.

Why? Android is winning, didn’t you know?

If I were developing on my own, iOS/OS X would be a no brainer. But depending on the nature of the project, one would definitely want to consider covering other platforms—Android/Windows etc. For many kinds of software though, exclusive development for iOS/OS X is often a very smart choice. It hits the sweet spot for quality, coverage, ease of development and maintenance, customer service and satisfaction, as well as profit.

For a small developer, especially one who is doing it on the side or has limited resources, each platform added (to whatever the first choice was) increases problems geometrically, especially so if the platform is “messy” in terms of HW SW differences.

Never thought of this area as Apple country.

Sounds like a great move providing Syria doesn’t blow it up to even the score with Jobs ‘father’.

Thought provoking if you have that capacity.
“Because most iPad owners and prospective owners already have both mobile phones and computers, they don’t “need” an iPad. There’s almost nothing an iPad can do that can’t also be done by a device already owned by the user. It’s a pure luxury item. Yet Apple is selling millions of them every month, while some rivals are trying to figure out how to cut their losses and get out of the market.”

Why do you push it, Birra? They will come up in force to prove they have it, all while showing the contrary …

Here’s an interesting statement by John Siracusa of Ars in his original epic review of Lion.
“Over the past decade, better technology has simply reduced the number of things that we need to care about. Lion is better technology. It marks the point where Mac OS X releases stop being defined by what’s been added. From now on, Mac OS X should be judged by what’s been removed.”

I played with Amazon Fire last night for the first time. It has a very nice graphical interface, but some control elements are actually illogical and awkward to use. Another thing, compared to iPad 2 is that it felt sluggish and lagging.
