>> They also announce that they are going 100% value plans in 2013. Thats awesome. I think value plans are great. Thats also horrible environment for Apple to compete in.

Will Apple Miss Its Estimates - And Every One After That? December 7, 2012 by: Stephen Rosenman \| about: AAPL seekingalpha.com <excerpt> Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article. (More...) What would you think if Boeing ( BA) couldn't produce any planes because one of its suppliers was severely delayed? Toyota ( TM) told you they wouldn't be able to sell you a Camry or Corolla because of the tsunami? Would you buy the stocks? I'm guessing investors would walk away from Boeing and Toyota and head over to EADS, N.V ( EAD) and Ford ( F). Yet, there is one company in the world where that did happen. It happened this quarter and it happened to Apple ( AAPL). You could walk into any Apple retail store (or Verizon or AT&T or Sprint for that matter) looking for an iPhone 5 and walk away empty-handed. Not for just a day, but month after month. For most of the quarter, you were just as likely to find a Samsung III S Galaxy in your local Apple store as an iPhone 5. On-line sales weren't much better - waits were at 3 to 4 weeks as Apple struggled to get supply. <Read the full article here...> seekingalpha.com

Keep an eye on Yandex, Syl. Default search engine on Windows Phone in Russia; they've been beating Google in search on all platforms in that market (60.4 percent share of the Russian Web search market since September, compared with 26.5 percent for Google); no small feat considering what a formidable opponent Google is in search. Unlike in China with BIDU, the card deck isn't stacked against Google there. Apple Inc. (AAPL)-NasdaqGS 532.64 14.60(2.67%) 12:24PM EST - Nasdaq Real Time Price Yandex N.V.
