Oct-21-17  NakoSonorense: Hey, <WannaBe>!

Excited about the World Series? A friend of mine asked if I wanted to go and I said yes, without a second thought. I figured the cheap tickets would be no more than $200. A bit pricey, but reasonable considering it's the WS and it's been 29 years.

Needless to say, StubHub dropped a bucket of iced water on my head.

  WannaBe: Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) is getting hammered, down 15%! Advanced Micro Device (AMD) is down 10%!

All indexes are down, but less than 1%, beginning of the end of the bull market?

  WannaBe: iOS 11.0.3 having problems (mostly battery life) apps crashing (I'll blame this on the developers).

https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordon...

iOS 11.1 is scheduled to be released in a week or two. I expect iOS 11.1.1 to be released by early December to fix the issue(s) in iOS 11.1

Oct-31-17  diceman: <WannaBe:

Crashes happen in Sept/Oct,
this is the last day left. :)

Nov-01-17  technical draw: World Series? Without the Yankees it's just two Minor league teams playing. I think I'll just watch the Phoenix Pharoahs.
Nov-02-17  technical draw: Can anyone tell me who lost the World Series?

(Just some gallows humor

hi, Wannabe. I hope all is well with you....td.

Nov-03-17  diceman: <technical draw:

It's 2017, both teams get participation trophies.

  WannaBe: People have reported iPhone X will sometimes stop responding to screen touch if a sudden change in temperature:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/appl...

Apple pledge a fix is coming, but it's <NOT> in the 11.1.1 fix (my previous post).

I can understand this, in Cupertino, CA (Apple's new spaceship campus and HQ) temperature is 75-78 degrees, year round. So it's understandable that Apple would not know how/what sudden change in temperature would affect their product.

Maybe Apple can consider having a second HQ in Fargo, ND. $1K Phone, pfffff!!
