Apple's next move, the Military-Industrial complex

Next thing you know, Apple will be marching through the low countries, and France will be surrendering to it...

She's still fighting. Switched to a new drug, but insurance doesn't cover. Insanely expensive, but it might be very effective. Taking it one step at a time. Still cold here, but may warm up soon. I'm ready for warm weather and raw fish!

You and your family are always in my thoughts Drew. I always admire your courage and optimism.
I have requested that the universe martial large amounts of energy in your direction.

Strong quakes shake Japan, but no apparent damage

TOKYO (AP) — A series of earthquakes rattled Tokyo and northeastern Japan on Wednesday evening but caused no apparent damage or injury in the same region hit by last year's devastating tsunami.

A magnitude-6.8 earthquake first struck the southern coast of the island of Hokkaido, causing a small tsunami. The Meteorological Agency issued tsunami advisories along the northern coast, prompting some communities to issue evacuation advisories to residents near the coast.

A swelling of 20 centimeters (8 inches) was observed in the port of Hachinohe in Aomori about an hour later, with smaller changes reported elsewhere. The agency lifted all tsunami advisories within about 90 minutes

Is Apple really worth more than Poland?
By Ruth Alexander
BBC News

"At $500 billion, Apple is worth more than Poland" - so shouted the headlines last week. Can the technology giant really be worth more than this entire country? No, and here's why.

CNN started this news line, which was picked up by media organisations around the world.

It seems like an amazing fact - that Apple's stock market value, or market cap, of $506bn (£323bn) makes it worth more than Poland, whose Gross Domestic Product is about $470bn (£300bn).

This would make Apple around the 20th biggest economy in the world.

But it is not true. It makes no sense to compare the two like this. You might as well compare… apples and pears.

They also ran a old picture of the Apple store. An irrelevant click-bait article.

Will they have to fight Italy for the honor of surrendering first.

[Paul F.]

Italy will probably meet them at the border with fresh pastries and signs saying "We Welcome our new overlords" in Italian :-)
