Fair enough, I stand corrected.

Of course, that data suggests that AAPL isn't overvalued compared to the rest of the S&P 500. There's always a possibility the entire market is, but that still doesn't explain this behaviour.

Also I like being modded +4 Informative while being directly contradicted by fact. Go Slashdot!

Why is Apple's stock so prone to heavy fluctuation at the even the slightest hint of something not being perfect?

I suspect it's because it's horrendously overvalued. Apple investors get scared that the bubble will burst, and no one wants to be the last one out. When it doesn't turn out that the "correction" is actually happening, people regain their senses^H^H^H^H^H^Hgreed.

The assumption that I don't use any of the dozens of alternatives is a little silly. In the real world, using MySpace doesn't preclude any other attempts at promotion.

Also, I never claimed not to be a retard, you insensitive clod!

Not just MySpace, but a new, inferior version of MySpace.

Maybe it's just the software tester in me, but I tried to shamelessly promote my band on the "new" MySpace and found it so riddled with bugs as to be completely unusable. Before the changes, it was actually a decent enough tool for musicians, even if no one else was using it. I think they're scaring bands away by replacing something that didn't work as a business model with something that just flat out doesn't work.

That's all well and good when you are typing English or another natural language. But where's auto-correct going to be when you type 0x000000E instead of 0x0000002? Where ever it is, it won't be helping you.

Comment Re:Top shelf vodka (Score 2) 127

Most of what passes as "good" vodka, at least here in Canada, is pretty bad. It's not supposed to mean filtered a billion times, it's supposed to mean it tastes good. I didn't really get what vodka was about until I was given a bottle of Luksusowa, which is delicious on the rocks or even just as a straight sipping drink.

I'm with you about whiskey though. I have a hard time finding good bourbon (though had the pleasure of drinking some good ones over Christmas) so I mostly stick to scotch. Mmmmmmm....

Um... what?

I see your point if people used replicators to print money. But if you have a replicator, and can create any material good at will, and you're using it to print money, you're doing it wrong.

If anything, replicator technology would cause hyperdeflation. That could be why the Federation doesn't have currency anymore, except for trading with other states.
