This is no criticism of the OP but the analogy is inappropriate.
Having working in finance for 20+ years I can safely say that psychological support/resistance levels/barriers are confined to the realms of the imagination and the financial press. They are not taken seriously by practitioners in the financial markets and those who speak of them show their lack of understanding about financial markets work.

Re: Having your cake and eating it.
I was in Australia around a year ago, just after they'd had the worst flooding on record. It devastated their agricultural crops and resulting in the price of bananas rocketing to £15 per kilo. After a cursory analysis it was apparent the high price had very little to do with the floods and very much to do their their backwards protectionist policies dressed up under the guise of 'quarantine' policy.
£15 a kilo for bananas that I could get in Tesco for less than £1 a kilo imported from Costa Rica. But no matter where you went the Aussies wouldn't have a bar of it and kept on blaming the floods for the high prices.
LMAO? I wet my pants at their stupidity.

Apart from the fact that he spelt the word wrongly, who is this guy to tell me what I "need" and don't "need"? What an arrogant seman stain. And that goes for all happy-clappy Christians. Practice your religion but keep your views to yourself. As to the Catholics: you've forgone any right to the debate since you harboured all of those Paedos and put a Nazi in charge.
This guy needs to go. The next thing you know he'll be preaching hate against all non-believers. Just like Abu Hamza but with both hands.
10 million iPad minis to 'outshine' their big brother this quarter
Monday 8th October 2012 21:28 GMT
Re: Not buying it
With the likes of Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire already in this market segment, Apple cannot afford to alienate themselves with too big a premium for their product. The result is, as you point out, the iPad Mini will cannibalise sales of the iPad 3 and potentially reduce overall margin. The problem is that Apple are in desperate need of a 'new' product. The iPhone and iPad are no longer the cash cows they once were and the market has finally caught up with them. With the Board's attention seemingly being averted from innovation and focussed towards monetising their patent portfolio, a low(er) margin iPad Mini has the potential to further dampen Apple's share price and will be seen as a risky move by anal-ists.

Mozilla floats fondleslab-ready Firefox for Win 8
Friday 5th October 2012 08:06 GMT
"Mozilla says Microsoft won't give it access to the APIs it needs on the ARM-based OS. As such, it says it has no plans to build a browser for that platform."
Microsoft needs to be very careful about this. They're already bracing themselves for what the EU Commission is going to do to them over their recent failure to honour their agreement on Browser Choice. If what Mozilla says is true, then I can imagine the EU Commission will come down on them like a shower of shit. It will be the biggest dump they've ever taken on Microsoft. Even bigger than the one Apple did to its userbase when it shat on them with iMaps.

I'd argue that the iPhone 5 is irrelevant today.
While it's 'new' to the Apple faithful, technology-wise it's competing with last year's handsets. 'Incremental release' is the euphamism used by the media for 'lack-lustre'. This is the second such 'incremental release' for the iPhone (4 => 4GS then 4GS => 5) and I expect those who 'upgraded' to the 4GS will be asking why they want to spend £s on just another 'incremental release'.
iOS6 may have some technical 'improvements' but these have been struggling to get any press having been overshadowed by Apple's absurd Maps App. What were they thinking? Someone just took a massive dump in the walled garden.

3. he should now allow a public, independent investigation into EXACTLY how this happened and ensure it can never happen again.

Re: No Comment...
This is the coming of The Apocalypse for Apple. They've started the Android "Jihad" and now it's coming back to haunt them my friends. I am finding it difficult not to go to the toilet these days as I patiently await the successful Appeal of Samsung in Apple v Samsung "II". That's "2" for our American brothers. Allah Akbah. I am so excited by this prospect I have taken to wearing incontinence pads underneath my high explosive vest and underpants. I am looking forward to the day when the Apple Infidel will be cut down by this weapon of its own making and I will will have 72 virgins.

"the wound it inflicted on Samsung"
I'm sick to death of the media's use of hyperbolae. It's beginning to have the opposite effect on me, ie. a sensational head/byline - to me - is a mask for a crap story. And this is just that - a crap story. There is no "wound" - the damages are less that 1.5% of Samsung's global revenue and relate to phones which Samsung is no longer marketing and are at least a generation old.
Furthermore, Samsung is appealing the jury verdict and the overwhelming majority in the educated press (not the mainstream media) have been heavily critical of the jury decision even suggesting it will be reversed.
