This Week in Review

AAPL "surprises" all expectations, so nothing is new. The real surprise I imagine will be when AAPL doesn't surprise any more.  The stock goes back up to the $600 territory.  I fully expect Android phones gnaw at or take a big bite out of Apple's market, but so far the market is still big enough for AAPL's iPhone and iPad to grow.  I was in Hong Kong a month ago, it seemed everyone was holding a large Android smartphone. Would the iPhone 5 catches on with this super size craze? Will find out soon.

More tidbits on why Bo Xilai fell from the upper echelon of the Communist Party are beginning to percolate into the Western lame stream media. The latest being because he dared even wiretap President Hu and worst got found out about it. This is still a developing story but I got the impression that this has more intrigues than whatever Tinker Tailor Sailor Spy that I have been reading the second time.

Wow! This is news.  Who would have guessed this Anthony Wong?

Something is better left unsaid. Or so it had been for the past 25 years for the openly closet gay Anthony Wong Yiu Ming until he outed himself in front of an audience in the last day of his concert series in Hong Kong a couple days ago dressed in a stage costume somewhat reminiscent of Riktor & Rolf 2007 Fall runway show.  Wong is the other half, arguably and stereotypically, the better looking if less talented half of the duo Tat Ming Pair.  The other half is Tats Lau.  Some of the endearing qualities of Tat Ming Pair are they are somewhat alternative, avant-garde (if there is such a thing at all), disreputable, current, relevant, naughtily sexual and yet harmless enough to attract a main stream following through out all these years.  Now that the charade is over, Wong is afraid the press would have nothing to ask him about, I guess music or otherwise, mainly otherwise?  Well, the gutter press can always ask ....  Never mind, something is really better left unsaid.
