apple - 13 views

    It is fun to look at the graph of Apple's stocks, you can see where new products were announced and other major events like the passing of Steve Jobs. But reaching $500 a stock is amazing, then you compare it to Microsoft's stock of $32ish and you laugh at that company.

    i agree with brice, thats a crazy differential between companies where most people think they are similar
  •  
    No matter what apple will go up.
  •  
    Apple is a large distributer f products that are used today, so it will go up sooner than later.
  •  
    You have to look at the number of shares not the value. While Microsoft is only $32 a share, there are far more shares. By Microsoft splitting stock they can give more people the power to buy in. So in response to Brice stock price isn't important, it's stock history. I will admit Microsoft isn't as solid as Apple currently is but the $32 to $500 isn't a true reflection of the companies.

    Even though Microsoft isn't that big and does not have that much money in shares, I would still go for Apple because if you have shares with Apple you can get a huge amount of money.

    This I think will revolutionize the textbook industry. Textbooks for high schools run close to $100, Apple able to sell digital copies for $15 is simple amazing. Schools might now adapt iPads and save money in the long run on text books. Also iBook Authors could change the book industry the way that iTunes changed the music industry. We will have to give all of these new services a year and then we will see if Apple can dominate another major industry.
  •  
    Yes Brice! I think this will change a lot in the education world.

    Re "Apple execs grilled over tax strategy," Business, May 22 Unbelievable, stunning, incredible that members of Congress have the audacity to bring the chief executive of one of the most successful companies this country has ever seen to grill him on Apple Inc.'s tax strategy (which, by the way, is perfectly legal) so they can try to wring more money out of him.

Arsenic found in applejuice - 5 views

  •  
    This is horrible, this could kill a lot of people including little kids.
  •  
    there's a small amount of it so it's not likely to kill after the first sip, all apple seeds have arsenic in them and that's why they always told you not to eat the seeds but when they make apple juice, they throw in the whole apple so that pretty much explains it...i'm glad I don't like appejuice

    I agree with this. If the prices for college keep raising then nobody can afford to go to college. All the higher paying jobs require more schooling, but if you don't have a good job then you can't pay for college. It's a deadly cycle. I also think the government is always looking for more money and raising interest rates. That fact doesn't bother me as much as the fact that the money is being spent on public art, landscapes, and totally unnecessary costs. I think that if the money was given back to 'tuition-payers' then maybe people wouldn't care so much.
  •  
    I think paying such high prices for college is outrageous. Many people come out of college thousands of dollars in debt and have no way of paying back that kind of money. We need people going to college to keep the United States a successful country, with well educated people.
  •  
    College is getting more and more expensive by the years and sooner or later not many people are going to be able to go to college because of hwo much it cost, but if they do, they would probably be thousands of dollars in debt.

    "The president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, took a notable stand. He said not only will his company lobby for a legislative solution but also that Microsoft is calling on Congress to make immigration the top priority, before tax reform. And he is calling on other business leaders to follow suit."

    i think that wall street is bringing attention to the middle class and the media doesnt like it
  •  
    The occupy wall street protest is bringing more attention to the middle class, and it's shocking the media. The illustrator is trying to show how it's all tied together in one way or another.
  •  
    I think that with all the "action" going on between wall street and the middle class, the media is shocked and is in disbelief.
  •  
    The Occupy movement is like the middle-class' prince charming, exactly what we want. The 1% on the other hand is trying to poison the middle class with lies and deception from the media which is made up of the 1%.
  •  
    The Occupy Wall Street movement is trying to revive the middle class in order increase their supporters to the full 99% it once was, but the 1% aka the media is like the wicked witch in Snow White that gave her the poisoned apple so she would be out of the way...and the media is upset that attention is being drawn back to them
  •  
    I think it's that occupy wall street has now involved the middle class and the media is appalled by it.
  •  
    I think it means that occupy wall street is trying to save the middle class and the media doesnt want to have it back.
  •  
    I think it means how the occupy wall street movement is bringing attention to the middle classes economic struggles, and the media doesn't want that to happen.
  •  
    I believe the cartoon is portraying that there is a connection between the Middle class and the wall street movement, and wall street is trying to revive the middle class. The media however, is not thrilled about the attention being brought to the middle class problems. So the media poisons the the other one percent into believing the lies and misleading comments to try getting their way.

    the occupy wall street seems to be waking up the middle class
  •  
    I think it means that the middle class is starting to progressively get stronger and the media doesn't like it.
  •  
    I think this pretty much means that the media doesn't want any attention brought to them and wall street is doing just that by waking up the middle class
  •  
    the media is the evil and it is trying to end the movement with a bad apple "press".
