It is arguably the smallest bar in all the world.

It's an open mic. They would let you perform fatso.

Based on the apparent age and girth of your other band members, WHOOSSSHHH would fit right in.

That is the funniest comment I've ever read here! Combined with the stylish Beattle haircut that's quite a look!

This guy should probably check for polyps while he is climbing up APPL's ass.

Um, isn't the SIII best-selling smartphone out there right now? What's this guy smoking?

Is that worse than a thermometer?

What can I do? Duckface got it.

I am stuck at work. Too bad I don't have a bike to ride...

Wait...I do....ugh. I wish the guy had not given it to me, because now whatever I do it will be uncomfortable.

He's been pretty much dead-on analyzing the company until the last few months. I think his macro long term view remains correct, AAPL fell out of favor with institutional investors, but the fundamentals of the company remain rock solid and the stock is now stupid cheap. That doesn't matter in stocks sometimes however, even though AAPL is trading at half the S&P multiple average, it could stay there if the perception is it is a mature tech co. like IBM or MS without growth potential. His observation that the build quality of Samsung phones pales next to the iPhone is essentially right, hold the two of them, the iPhone feels like a Breitling, the Samsung more like a Casio.

Actually, I wouldn't mind listening to music while I ride, but I can't imagine it would sound very good on a speaker you put on the handlebars (with all the wind noise).

Coasting can't even drive around a traffic circle properly.

Get an ipod or iphone and some ear bud phones you nitwit. The cheap Apple kind, not the deep in-ear kind, the former (that's what I use) lets you hear both the music and what's going on around you in traffic.

so what (and I have 4 apple devices and LOVE my iphone) you buy a Breitling to last multiple lifetimes. You buy a smartphone to last for 2-3yrs

Went the wrong way?

I blame the navigator.

Yes, and with a planned obsolescence cycle of 6-12 months. I agree that the build is better on the iPhone, but we're talking about moving handsets, and that build quality edge isn't keeping them ahead of the SIII. (That Samsung may shoot themselves in the foot by moving away from Android is another discussion.)

The build quality on my BB Z10 trumps even the iPhone.

Zero regrets with the phone. It rocks.

I always wanted a compass on my bike but my bikes are all far too ferrous for that to work well.
