You go to it? I went once when I was working there. It was when Steve Jobs was CEO. Q&A was hilarious, because he wasnât at all patient or polite to people. He came very close to directly calling someone an idiot. He was very blunt about if you donât trust his judgment then donât be a shareholder.
Inaugural shareholder meeting in Steve Jobs Theatre
Tim Cook is polite and friendly.
He said no one-time dividend but hint that next dividend increase might be higher than 10% Higher pay rise !
Did you ask Tim why the fuck MBP still only got 16GB ram??
Mine is also 16GB and is enough. According to the activity monitor, the usage is normally below 10 GB even if you open many windows and applications. The biggest culprit is CNBC and some f⌠web pages that keep growing itself if you leave the Safari open⌠Apple solves it recently by re-loading the page automatically. So no longer have âslow responseâ when opening too many Safari windows.
I am still waiting for 32GB and itâs been a painful wait. I normally have safari and excel open, plus occasionally adobe stuff like bridge and photoshop. 16GB is just not âproâ enough.
You sure it is not due to your use of Yelp 24/7???
Canât you pay for an upgrade? I know they screw you on the price, and you canât upgrade yourself later anymore. The memory chips are soldered onto the motherboard to make the laptop thinner.
You can replace RAM and processors in new iMacs, but thereâs a catch
Mine is Mac Pro and is user replaceable. Max is 16GB, canât go any higher.
For old iMac, is user replaceable. I have upgraded the memory and harddisk myself.
Itâs the CPU actually. So most of the blame is on Intel. But Apple should have ditched them long ago. Apple now has the best semiconductor design team in the world.
How is that freaking possible???
Except for People who are doing graphics stuff, do most other people need more than 16 gb ram? I have a 16 gb MacBook pro, and I generally do not reach 16 gb usage, & if it does(when I have large # of windows & applications open), page swapping takes care of it without feeling much degradation of performance. One just needs to make sure they have decent empty hard drive space for the page swap to happen.
Just got an alert from my Chinese investment site WB bought up lots of Apple shares last quarter. Whatâs up guys? Nobody reported it to the forum? SMH.
WB bought your shares WB strategy may not be applicable to you. He wants to invest in companies that throws out tons of cashflows without spending too much R&D and run by rock solid management. He would use this cashflow to invest in other similar ventures. He has tons of money, billions of dollars, so he has to invest in big and safe companies, he canât take risk like us, we took very high risk in investing in 10x winners.
Did WB hit the % that allow him to nominate a Director on the board?

Maybe @hanera is too busy celebrating? Apple has said they want to be âcash neutralâ meaning theyâll return all cash generated by the business to shareholders. Expect a dividend increase and massive buyback.
