iTunes Auf Deutsch

Monday, December 12th, 2005

I acquired a German iTunes account today and now have access to volumes of David Hasselhoff. Yet, I’m most excited about the dance music I’ve been hearing over the past three weeks. I just wish I could have used my American account to purchase the music. It was a small hassle to register with firstgate.de but it will be well worth it during the next house party.

Apple to buyout Tivo?

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

The rumors are flying faster than high school gossip. In late day trading, Tivo’s stock is a sappling in a hurricane; prices whip from red to green as volume has just breeched 21 million shares, approximately 10 times its daily volume. With no further buyout news, daytraders dump and prices take a dip. Fifteen minutes later, Tivo is up again. The battle between the speculators and long term buyers have ignited a firestorm on Yahoo’s Finance message board. Will there be a short squeeze tomorrow? It certainly happened today. I don’t think anyone is insane enough to short this stock. It will all come out in the wash on Merger Monday.
