Saturday, the Ides of March, 2014

March 15, Ides of March, 2014.

I’ve got nothing better to do other than a breakfast meeting and appointment at Apple Store Genius Bar. My colleague and I took in a 27-inch iMac for diagnostic and repair. During the diagnostic the Genius who helped us swapped my colleague’s iPhone 5 which had a bad camera; out of warranty. It is nice to know that there are still Apple Store Genius who actually go out of their way to help customers. Well, most of the ones I dealt with in the past 6 months were pain to deal with.

By the way it is almost a Full Moon in the night sky.

iMac sans LCD and Hard Drive

One of the things I did earlier today at “work” was taking apart a late 2009 aluminum iMac to replace the hard drive. You can see an orange suction cup on the shelf on the top right of the picture.

Apple Earnings FY 2013 Q1: Mac Sales

Captain Obvious knows that Wall Street investors and analysts are irrational. That’s because they are greedy, stupid or both. As a matter of fact, they are acting like white-collar criminals if they have not become ones already. Apple stock (AAPL) is sure taking the pummeling after Apple revealed its quarterly earning results.

From Apple PR:

The Company sold 4.1 million Macs, compared to 5.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

Mac sales are down year-over-year and it is attributed to the availability of new iMacs which did not become available until November 30, 2012. Apple announced new iMac lines during its October 23, 2012 special event. Between October 23 and November 30, 2012 iMac lines were unavailable on Apple’s own online store. This greatly reduced the number of iMac sold.

It doesn’t take a financial analyst or investor to figure this out.
