I read that Aaron Sorkin completely rethought the movie after he met with Lisa Brennan Jobs, Steve Jobs' daughter.

The storyline may even be told through her eyes and their relationship at critical points during Apple's history.

Portman would have the gravitas for that, and it would break with what was a rather dry book.

Yes, Virginia, there really is a larger Apple tablet.

It's just that Intel can't get it together to release their next generation processors!

I love this line from Motley fool writer Ashraf Eassa: 


Keeping this thesis together is the assumption that Intel will actually execute . This has been a problem for Intel's mobile system-on-chip teams in the past (Broxton, for example, was supposed to be a "mid-2015" launch), and I don't think any prudent investor should take it completely on faith that Intel will deliver this time.

Apple at $119.10: Look whose price targets are underwater now


Apple will be worth less in a year, say 17 out of 33 analysts, than it is today.







Apple's resources, processes and values almost never change but its stock price falls by 50% (or doubles) on a regular basis.

Official photo similar to the last photo I sent out shows a little more progress, shot from a different angle.

They still have to relocate the company that is in the building at the bottom center in this photo.

I think that Apple is building them a new building at a location south of the Apple Campus 2 site on the south side of the Freeway.

That new rectangular underground construction in the bottom left is the theater/conference center which is just north of the parking structure.
