I bought a TON of stock at like 80 bucks around a year a half ago. Drained out my bank account my savings account and even got a new credit card (1 yr no interest, already paid off) just to buy more shares with lol
Now I am wondering if the bubble is going to explode or get bigger...
It might just get bigger. Just look at Google. It just keeps going up and up.
Your lucky that you got it at $80-$90. How many shares did you get? 20?

European documentation produces more iPad landscape mode port evidence. Camera?
Prepare yoursleves for iPad 2, the faster, higher-resolution iPad that’s equipped with more memory — and a new dock connector, at least according to the latest patent filings, this time emerging from Europe.
These latest patents, submitted to the European Trademarks and Designs Registration Office, show the first glimpse at iPad 2, with both Jony Ive and Steve Jobs named on said patent.
As the patent pictures show, the new iPad includes an extra left-side 30-pin connector to allow it to dock in landscape mode — like when you link it to your Macbook Air, maybe?
“The first sighting of this design was noted on September 25, 2010. This time around, we see that Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ives have signed off on the design,” notes Patently Apple.

Verizon iPhone hits final development stages?, iPhone 5 hits EVT?
One of our solid Apple sources has just let us know some pretty interesting (and exciting) information surrounding Apple’s upcoming iPhone devices. For starters, we have been told that iPhone model 3,2 — what everyone is assuming to be the Verizon (or at least CDMA-compatible) phone — just hit the “AP” testing stage. This is the very last stage before retail release; final hardware, almost final software. Here is the odd thing, though… the iPhone 3,2 unit, we have been exclusively told, contains a SIM card slot. This is interesting for a multitude of reasons, and presents several different scenarios:
The iPhone 3,2 could be the mythical CDMA + GSM/HSPA device that would support Verizon, AT&T, and the other current worldwide iPhone 4 carriers frequencies. The mid-cycle refresh would bring an updated antenna design for the current iPhone 4 and bring CDMA-compatibility; essentially, Verizon Wireless subscribers would have the same device as AT&T subscribers.
The iPhone 3,2 could be a CDMA-capable iPhone that houses a SIM card for global roaming capabilities; though that certainly seems more complicated than just having one single glove that would fit both hands.
One last possibility that the iPhone model 3,2 would simply be a slightly different design that doesn’t suffer from the same antenna attenuation as the current model; though that would be a little disappointing.
As far as the next generation iPhone 5, our source has also indicated to us that device has hit the “EVT” stage in the development cycle. The “EVT” stage is the engineering verification test phase, before the “DVT” phase.

Steve Jobs rips Android a new one
Android vs iPhone
"It was just reference to the fact that Android is NOT all it's made up to be. You're still at the mercy of the manufacturer just like Apple. Acer Liquid E still waiting for 2.2, Xperia never getting 2.2, Desire still waiting, Legend, Magic etc,etc. Not totally open is it? Manufacturer says no you don't get it. Unless you root which is the same as jailbreaking."

And it was one of my friends that works for eTrade that pretty much lit the fire under my ass to do it. He was like "dude its at like 86 bucks" (down from like 200 in like a few months time) you have an iPhone you know they are coming up with a new one its a win win" and fortunately, it was...

Haha there aren't that many, but their is some. I didn't score in 06, pretty much like 3 years later, but it was still a substantial gain...

NRT (ROI%) in a 5 year period was about 51,000% :crazy: and it pays out dividends.
It sucks that Apple doesn't pay out.

I've had no problems with limera1n on my 3GS. Shortly after jailbreaking I thought my reception was worse as I had fewer bars frequently but that seems to have stopped. Probably was an issue with Bell.
Question: I have winterboard installed and I've downloaded a couple keyboard themes through cydia. They don't seem to work after enabling in winterboard. Anyone know why?

It's because they're probably formatted for a different version of iOS.. I'd suggest just SSHing into the directory and replacing the fonts manually. Always easier that way.

You got the IP4 antnna issues now, ditch it and get a Android or BB!
4.0.1+ all the signal bars are re-done for proper signal displays.
All Bell users seem to get the most bars dropped, due to their amazing network coverage
