The Apple Juggernaut Plows On: On-Going Developments & Thoughts
Apple has had quite a quarter. It has continued to beat all kinds of Records and it will replace AT&T on the Dow on March 19. It is Kind of Ironic as it was AT&T that gave Apple a break as it negotiated an exclusive arrangement initially as iphone came to the market a long time ago.
Apple has also been the first company to be on its' way to almost a Trillion Dollar Valuation. It is bigger than many ,many countries around the World. March 9 was another seminal day as the #Outsider Team joined the live March 9 Apple Event.
It was challenging, at times, to listen to the Webcast. The high degree of interest was quite understandable as Tim Cook once again took the stage to reflect upon a record shattering few months and the continued breaktaking speed that Apple has continued to grow. Some interesting highlights:
- New MAC's were rolled out--Including a Gold One. The LED lighthing on the keyboard and a USB-C (which can be utilized to have a display, HDMI & VGA cables) were prominent.
- Apple Pay continues to make headway w/apparently 2500 Establishments engaged and growing
It all concluded with Christy Turlington being on stage as Apple Watch came out starting at $ 349 with a high end at $ 17,000. The team at +Business Insider Intelligence team put together this perceptive chart of what the expectations are right now:
They are noting that one of out of every 20 iphone owners will buy an Apple Watch and Apple will have 40% of the Smartwatch Market. They are suggesting that the Market will peak out around 2017 with cheaper alternatives available by 2020. We here @ #outsiders disagree because we have already seen the traction The Pebble Watch has had and already the products brought out by the likes of LG and others. It will be fascinating to see the progress, though. B
Beyond the products, Apple has some minefields to navigate through especially with App Store Revenue and iTunes as again noted by the Team at the +Business Insider recently:
We agree with +Business Insider's assessment that Apple's Streaming Service expected to be launched to compete with Spotify will help to mitigate some of the iTunes revenue especially. This is as Apple Pay continues to gain further traction.
Fascinating to be witness to history.......

Notations From the Grid: On Climate Change & #Si2
One of the organizations we follow here at the #Outsider network is +350.org They have at the forefront of fostering and elevating the discussion on Climate Change beyond unfortunate make belief world pushed by the current political players--including the current Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Science, Senator James Inhoff of Oklahoma. The article published by +Naomi Klein Naomi Klein in +The Guardian of London and featured on +350.org 's Facebook page is a true call to action here and now:
The question is whether we have to courage to wake up now or not to insure that a true "Vision of the Possible is created. There is hope though as the team at +SOLAR IMPULSE launched #SI2 which just landed in Oman as it flies around the World without a single drop of fuel on a plane that is the weight of a 4x4 with 17,000 Solar cells with the wing span of a 747 as it graces the sky over our Mother Earth:

Thought For the Week: Rise
A Facebook Friend of the #Outsiders shared this and it was quite appropriate as we remember #Selma50 and the art of the possible:
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

We here @ #Outsiders were quite amazed by the innovations and the upcoming ideas we saw at the Mobile World Congress. The Team @ +Mashable did a nice job of bringing in all together--we don't necessarily embrace it and will assess it--but a "snapshot" of what was on tap during this pivotal event in the Tech World as all work to embrace and create the "Vision of the Possible":
