What’s the Apple Watch Good For? | MIT Technology Review.

When Apple unveiled the first iPad in 2010, many pundits scoffed. Among the gripes: tablet computers had been tried before without success; most people already had laptops; and wasn’t it just a giant iPod Touch?+

The market, as we know, reacted differently. Tablet computers are now a hit—thanks in no small part to Apple’s savvy design, which offered people something that was instantly comprehensible and easy to use, but also flexible enough to suggest thousands of new applications.

I just switched to a mobile-friendly WordPress theme on the suggestion of a Google-bot. The site now switches auto-magically between Desktop, Pad, and mobile sites.

Apple Is Basically a Small Country Now – The Atlantic.

It’s good to be Apple. Really good. As of this week, in fact, $700 billion worth of good. Apple’s closing price of $122.02 per share on Tuesday made it the first American company ever to cross that market-cap threshold.

Apple is also now selling bonds in Switzerland, which is probably a smart way for the company to buffer its ginormous pile of cash. (As The Wall Street Journal points out, this means Apple can use proceeds from debt sales to reinvest in itself without getting taxed the way it would if it used money brought back from overseas.)
