The day before the iPhone 5S launch

The calm before the storm. Can't wait for the flurry of uh's and ah's. And the revenge of the droids.

The new metallic home button ring is quite sexy.

Some say an iPhone user is either in touch with his feminine side or is a female.

I have to applaud the fruity firm for not throwing themselves at the Wall Street crowd and trying compete at the low end. They'll the eaten alive by the likes of Google and Xiaomi that sells at zero profit. And they call it an "online business".

Yamaha MCR-B043D Micro System Review

Yamaha MCR-B043D Review Like it despite all its problems.... Unique tiny square speaker pair that looks stylish and totally discrete in the dining room.

Plenty of doom and gloom (again) on Apple's latest quarterly result and guidance. I have been reading articles like "Apple profits decline despite iPhone sales boost " from the BBC, "Despite sales of 34 mn iPhones, including iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, Apple Inc results fail to enthuse" in the FinancialExpress, Forbes: "...despite selling 33.8 million iPhones, nearly 7 million more than a year ago and a bump of 26%, the company actually saw earnings fall (to $7.5 billion as margins shrunk)."

Two reasons I'm not yet panicking as an investor: (1) although the moat is shrinking and price pressure builds up from maturing competition, unit sales held up (2) Fourth quarter is a weak quarter where it includes only one week of new iphone sales, meaning lots of older discounted iphones in that 33....
