Come on AAPL $300!!!!
Congratz!
I know this isn't the place for it but since this post will likely be seen by lots of readers...
- Anyone else wonder why Apple didn't issue an IMMEDIATE C&D Letter from its legal group the second Gizmodo posted the photos of the prototype?
- Anyone else wonder why those photos are STILL being shown?
Finally
- Does Apples inaction in anyway lessen their ability to go after Gizmodo?
PLEASE!!! Post any replies in the Gizmodo discussion thread... not here...
And I still kick myself today that I did not buy Apple stock when it was at $88...
Beat the Street by 36%. Not bad, not bad at all.

Once again, the score card... to see who came close.
Amazing.
"We?ve launched our revolutionary new iPad and users are loving it, and we have several more extraordinary products in the pipeline for this year including the one you saw yesterday."
