A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
"Hey, you can't announce a new iPhone every year."
But, apparently you can release a new ipod every year.
I hope. I just bought a bunch at 172.
Bugger-- duplicate post.
165!! I need to buy some asap.
You are aware that the stock market doesn't run off of what Steve Jobs says? It reacts to bigger things, like a drop in consumer spending. That seems like something that could affect Apple.
Stick to tech, Engadget. Leave the stock market to other people.
I believe it was the $10B Loss (Billion, with a B) in one quarter that citibank experienced that has everyone running for the hills.
Except that Citibank is on a totally different stock market.
btw, Netflix isn't down nearly as much as Apple is, percentage-wise (or in absolute terms). Just interesting, is all.
Doesn't matter that the stocks are on different exchanges, NYSE or NASDAQ, the ramifications reflect issues in the economy. The huge write-offs from these financial institutions reflect issues with too many people buying too much house using a poor financial method of variable rates. If people are defaulting on house payments, they're less likely to spend money else where ... we're also seeing a spike in inflation and high oil prices, but fortunately unemployment is pretty low. The market will be volatile for awhile across the board ... especially as we wait and see how the Fed deals with it.
So Apple made the whole DJI go down over 2%? I new that Jobs had pull but that is impressive.
Generally I really like Engadget, but you should stick to reporting on things you actually understand.
You all should be thankful. It was a good day to buy some apple today and will be a better day to buy tomorrow since Intel missed their earnings after hours. Next year Apple will be one of the most dominating stocks. Hold on to your stocks for a year, it's not that bad.People panic too much so stocks are on sale. United States economy always rebounds with time. Look at our history.

Thanks for lifting my spirit. I got in today at 172. Long term is the way to think about it.
Thanks again

Jobs also said that he is unconcerned with day-to-day Apple share price fluctuations and he's running the company for long-term success and expects Wall Street to reward the company accordingly as the company performs.
2008 MACWORLD SUCKED.
You can not blame Steve or Apple; very misleading headline as the stock was tanking before the keynote. Blame the @$%@#$%ing banks.
you should stop focusing on the i-rack and start focusing on our newest product, the i-ran!
that was one of the only good sketches MTV has come out with in the past few years!
1. No tablet...I already have a laptop and the ipod touch is just two small to be useful as anything more than a ipod. Give me something in between.
2. $3000 for Flash Ram...WTF??? 1800 is even too much for the base model. I'll take 4 ASUS instead.
This is purely a vanity purchase.
3. No Macbook Pro updates, desperately need updated design.
4. No new monitors, those things are ancient technology.
5. No Macbook updates. Get rid of the model and focus on the Air.
6. Sell, sell, sell...stock should peak by the end of the 1st quarter and be sub 100 by Jan 1, 2009. The economy wont't support these types of purchases for much longer.
Did anyone pay attention FUCKING 4MILLION iPhones sold. Earnings are gonna be off the charts! Wait till next week. If they sold 2.5 million this quarter thats almost 1 Billion in sales. Plus all the Touch & new iPods. If anyone thinks that Americans won't buy expensive products because the economy is slowing they have another thing coming...most of us LOVE debt, and will spend money for things that make life easier/better.

The stock price today is meaningless, and is only an indicator of how short sighted and emotional people are on the floor/computer terminal of stock exchanges. I'm more interested in what the price will be in 15 years.
