Unintentially Geeky Joke In Apple's Share Price
from the groan dept
Unless you're the sort of person who immediately recognized why the folks at Google originally sought to raise $2,718,281,828 in its IPO, you might want to just pass over this story. A reporter at News.com noticed an extremely unintentional inside joke with Apple's closing share price today. On the very day the company officially announced its first Intel-based product, Apple's stock price closed at $80.86. If you don't get it, it's time to read up on your computer history. No, there is no way at all that this was intentional. However, that doesn't make it any less amusing.

Does anyone recall when apple's stock was $2.86?
Why was there no speculation about a switch in chips back then, eh?

Hmm. I doubt it. We've been on the front page of Digg many times, as well as Slashdot, and neither have been able to take us down yet. So, welcome folks from Digg.

And to those immature fledglings flaming about Digg, /. or whatever: Hush now, and take your bitching somewhere else! How can you get so worked up about a website? Who cares?

sigh
back when In 2000 when I left Amazon, I sold all my devalued AMZN stock for much less than what I paid. Wishing to close out my portfolio completely, I sold of all my Apple Stock too; for a whopping 15$ a share. Of course I am kicking myself.

Re: unintensional? why?
Don't be silly. Investors have other things on their minds than silly geek number games. Like profits, for example. So who would pay for such a "deal"? So much for "free" advertising...

Digg Haters are Pretty Stupid
It's just another link/news aggrigator and if you choose to use it so be it. I kinda like it and I've used Slashdot as well.
These comments by obvious mental-midgets downing one particular service or another need to end. Perhaps a minimum IQ to use the Internet is in order? :P
