Are you nuts? I don’t get it. Apple reported their Q2 2008 earnings this afternoon after the stock market closed, and their stock took a slight hit. Forbes is reporting that Apple is wobbling, even though their numbers were great.
Just how great? Check it out, they posted a 36 percent jump in profit and they beat Wall Street estimates by 9 cents a share (they posted $1.16 per share profit). So tell me how all of that equals sell off or wobble? I just don’t get it.
Back in February the Lifehacker web site ran a Top 10 article on smart playlists for iTunes. It has turned out to be an article that has helped me discover a lot of lonely music. If you are like me, I’m sure you have a few select play lists that you listen to over and over. Or you have artists that you like depending on the mood. But think about all of that music you are missing.
When I set up my “Ignored Music” playlist, I found over 80gb of music that I hadn’t ever played. Or at least, I hadn’t played in a really long time. So now everyday when I sit at my desk I go straight for the Ignored smart list and play it all day long. I’m now down to 22 days of music as compared to 25 days when I started. I have a ways to go, but….what will I do when I get done? Guess I’ll start over with items played once.
Remember what the ultimate question: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
