Evidently, more people are like me, Iphone voyeurs, than TM

I guess ATT's service can scare anyone away.

Premarket Movers: Apple Down
Tuesday July 24, 8:44 am ET
Apple Declines Following AT&T Results, Skeptical Comments From Analyst; Lockheed Martin Jumps


NEW YORK (AP) -- AT&T Inc. said early Tuesday it activated 146,000 iPhones in the second quarter as the exclusive service provider for the much-hyped new gadget, and shares of Apple Inc. fell in premarket electronic trading.

While the June 29 launch of the iPhone meant there were only two days in the quarter to activate service, Wall Street may see the number as light. Some analyst have forecast sales of 500,000 to 700,000 iPhones in the first weekend, although Buckingham Research Group's Qaisar Hasan said that figure is probably "on the high side."

Apple shares, which are up more than 69 percent this year, largely on enthusiasm related to iPhone, gave up $2.60, to $141.10 in the early session, from their close at $143.70.

Skeptical comments from CIBC World Markets analyst Ittai Kidron didn't help Apple shares. "Based on our store checks, we believe that demand for the iPhone has seen a significant decline in the past 10 days," Kidron wrote in a note to clients. "We have noticed decent inventories at stores, and thin demand at best. In fact, most Apple store visitors were not looking at the device and only a very small subset bought it."

Moreover, a recent survey of iPhone buyers has suggested that poor data connectivity is a "key shortcoming," Kidron wrote.

AT&T meanwhile reported adjusted profit of 70 cents per share, ahead of Wall Street expectations for 67 cents per share. Revenue surged 87 percent to $29.48 billion, slightly short of analysts' estimates for $29.63 billion revenue.

In heavy premarket trading, shares dipped 28 cents to $39.75, from their $40.03 close Monday.

Premarket indicators and futures trading suggested the markets would open down Tuesday.

Honestly I thought about quitting this weekend. I was very angry about being attacked by TM and felt it was like RT overly harsh and who cares about what my title is those that like me do and those that don't don't.

You are so full of shit. I did not attack you. I pointed out that, although you continue to say and act like you're a paralegal, you are, in fact, a secretary. It's kind of like when you acted like you were hot and big, important men couldn't help but hit on you.

If you were cool and had an ounce of brains in your head, you would see that no one cares whether you're pretty, skinny or a paralegal. Hell, people don't care right now. The only reason I posted it is because it is amusing that you would pretend to be something you're not. And you can yell til you're blue in the face about changing your name or how you shouldn't have to announce a job change or how unfair I am. But the simple fact is, you wanted us to think you were still a paralegal.

There are several posters that I enjoy reading there posts a lot and think are good people and are very funny they make me laugh. I don't feel I should be deprived of reading their posts or interacting with them on whatever level....even if others feel I'm misguided and perhaps they can't stand my butt. perhaps so but I've met some genuinely cool people and I don't feel that the hater contingent should deprive me of that.

No one is depriving you of anything. You are an idiot, so you get made fun of. If you don't like it, leave. But I can tell you this: It ain't gonna get any better. You are an endless supply of humor.

eh. I work with a woman who every morning trots to sbux for her boss and also fetches his lunch. I've been asked to get coffee, hot water, cut a pear, staple two sheets of paper, scan when the machine is right there. I have no prob with it.

I bet no one has asked you to go on a donut run.

You're making my placement of her on ignore irrelevant.

Good point. And this latest installment of fun has run its course. Back to Fu she goes!

Um, no. Atticus appears to have changed a little during his hiatus.

In addition, I see that Britney gave an interview to OK! Magazine and OK! is determining how to handle the situation. I don't know how to post a link but she continues to be a disgusting train wreck. It is as though she is intentionally doing exactly the wrong thing.

I feel bad for both of them.

I feel compelled to reassure you and everyone else who likely could not care less that I still have my long luxurious suavey hair.
