Apple crushed revenue and earnings estimates, as expected, and the company's guidance looks strong for its holiday quarter. But the iPad business posted a huge miss: 4.19 million shipments versus the Street's consensus at 4.7 million and many estimates above 5 million.

On the earnings call, Apple hinted that this was at least in part a supply issue, noting that supply and demand weren't balanced until September, the last month of the quarter. Steve Jobs stole the show on the call, trashing competitors like RIM and Google, and suggesting that the iPad and iPhone will win against rivals because they are better products at great prices.

Jobs also said the company is holding onto its cash -- more than $50 billion now -- mostly in case a big strategic opportunity comes along. Steve Jobs also announced that Apple has already sold more than 250,000 of the new Apple TV device.

The May 1 U.S. attack on Osama bin Laden's compound violated multiple elementary norms of international law, beginning with the invasion of Pakistani territory. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as presumably could have been done by the 79 commandos facing almost no opposition. President Obama announced that "justice has been done.

" Many did not agree--even close allies. British barrister Geoffrey Robertson, who generally supported the operation, nevertheless described Obama's claim as an "absurdity" that should have been obvious to a former professor of constitutional law. Pakistani and international law require inquiry "whenever violent death occurs from government or police action," Robertson points out.

Obama undercut that possibility with a "hasty 'burial at sea' without a post mortem, as the law requires. " They contrast Schmidt with U.S. The roots of the revenge killing are deep.

Bio Peter Baumann For many years, Peter Baumann has focused on the exploration of well-being and quality of life from a philosophical, conceptual and experiential perspective.

In the spring of 2009, Baumann established the Baumann Institute a nonprofit educational and research corporation. “We want to find out whether or not non-dual awareness can be instrumental in the alleviation of suffering and the experience of well-being,” Baumann states. “The results of scientific research were instrumental in exploding meditation into mainstream awareness and acceptance over the last 35 years.

Markets have inherent and well-known inefficiencies. One factor is failure to calculate the costs to those who do not participate in transactions.

These "externalities" can be huge. That is particularly true for financial institutions. Their task is to take risks, calculating potential costs for themselves. Hence the financial market "underprices risk" and is "systematically inefficient," as John Eatwell and Lance Taylor wrote a decade ago, warning of the extreme dangers of financial liberalization and reviewing the substantial costs already incurred - and also proposing solutions, which have been ignored. The threat became more severe when the Clinton administration repealed the Glass-Steagall act of 1933, thus freeing financial institutions "to innovate in the new economy," in Clinton's words -- and also "to self-destruct, taking down with them the general economy and international confidence in the US banking system," financial analyst Nomi Prins adds.
