"While Apple's commitment to the living room remains a 'hobby,' we continue to believe the company will enter the TV market with a full focus, as an all-in-one Apple television could move the needle when connected TVs proliferate," Munster says, noting that Apple may use its recent $3.9 billion in component investments to develop large screen displays - specifically, Internet-connected Apple television sets of at least 50 inches.

How Bloggers Beat Wall Street

Wednesday was a great day. The so-called "amateurs" beat Wall Street's finest by correctly predicting Apple's (AAPL) reported earnings for their most recent quarter. And people are starting to take notice.

In aACNN Money list of the best (and worst) Apple earnings predictions, the bottom 20 spots (out of 41) were firmly occupied by the "professionals". In fact, barring two bloggers, the bottom 30 were all analysts. The top 9 were individual investors.

Naturally, many people will be surprised by this and rightly so. It's common sense to think that handsomely paid professionals who spend countless hours evaluating companies and who have the best investing tools in the world available to them would easily beat a few guys with a laptop and an internet connection.

How the iPhone Increases the Trade Deficit

Attention iPhone users who think their beloved device is only for video chatting,AAngry Birds, and the occasional phone call: it’s also capable of influencing U.S.-China trade relations.

That’s the conclusionAdrawn by two researchers at the Tokyo-based Asian Development Bank Institute, who estimate that Apple’s iPhone 3G added $1.9 billion to America’s trade deficit with China last year.

Why? Apple, which is based in the U.S., designs and owns the iPhone and largely manufactures its parts in a host of Asian and European countries. But traditional trade flow accounting recognizes the iPhone as a Chinese export because China assembles the parts and ships the finished product. China, in other words, receives full credit for an iPhone’s $179 wholesale price even though the assembly and shipping it provides represent a small fraction of the product’s total manufacturing cost.

iPhoneCF

The new iPhoneCF guarantees to all its customers the same high quality phone as the original iPhone 4 with the added bonus of taking you one step closer to a world without conflict. As you probably know the minerals that are used in the production of various software products have largely been extracted from mines in Africa, especially the Congo. For the most part this mining has gone unchecked and therefore companies have been unable to tell whether or not the mines they source their materials from have been mines under the control of rebel groups further fueling a conflict that has has killed more than 5,000, 000 civilians. Apple wants to say no to the impunity, lack of accountability and lack of justice in the Congo and wants to be a leader in customer satisfaction and source accountability. We have taken the time to find a new approach to our mineral sourcing in order to ensure that our products only work to help the people of the Congo rather than exacerbate the already occuring problems there. In order to do so this Apple aims not only to purpose conflict free products but also to raise awareness and force other companies on this challenging path of change.
