Same as my prrevious stay; the toilet was not working but all other facilities worked fine and the staff were friendlyl and pleasant with any issues that arose. I would probably recommend this location to a friend.
Toilet was not working, but otherwise the room was nice and the service was good throughut my stay.
Clean & comfortable accomodation.
Marcos is very kind and anxious, and when there was a power blackout at night, he came by to have a look, so everything was fixed fastly.
The apartment is small but in a pretty cool area, and there is a cleaning lady coming everyday!
great location, great price, allover it was an awesome trip!
We were pleased with the room. Very good location und the room itself was clean. The price was fair. Marcos is a very friendly host.
The room is spacious indeed. Location is very good. It would be great, if there could be a second toilet for so many people, but that can't be helped. I would book this room again.
Perfect for people, who are staying in London city-sightseeing for a couple of days. Clean room and bedding; the bed is big and comfortable. Location is great to get anywhere in London! 24/7 reception next door is very helpful!
Bathroom is shared with other apartments and could use a renovation, but it is clean and works.
All in all good place to stay for a couple of days!
We had a great room, in front of road networks Liverpool street, great for moving quickly. Room for two, no more. Bathroom, toilet and kitchen collective, but damage to the location of the apartment worth, train, subway, bus, 1 minute, I could not ask for more! Very welcoming person speak some French! A recommender if you do not stay in your room. Beautiful city !! A remake!
It was a very pleasant experience to stay here. Thank you for everything!

The authors' goal is to establish a flexible programming support for evolving systems that will enable one to modify programs using less labor, while maintaining good quality during service life. EVA (evolution mechanism for flexible agent) was developed to allow a flexible programming support system to be constructed based on their programming method for evolving systems. They consider that programming methods for evolving systems need to satisfy the following essential conditions. First, they need to make it easy to specify changes in a system in terms of new requirements. Second, they need to have a procedure for transmitting the new requirements to a program. Third, they need to be able to guarantee that the resultant program will meet the new requirements. Finally, because of the repetitive nature of much evolving systems work, they need to provide for the reuse of similar modifications during programming. In order to overcome limitations in program modification techniques which have only considered programming products, programming processes have been introduced into the method. To achieve their goal, they have formulated programming products and programming processes using such formal techniques as functional programming, type theory, modules, parameterized programming and natural deduction, and have constructed a mechanism of reusing these formal programming processes. The paper explains a case study which shows how to develop an evolving system using EVA and it discusses how one can use EVA's mechanism effectively.

If your team wasn't painfully swept in the playoffs last night, you might want to use Live.com to keep up with future playoff games. Typing in the name of a team or player will give you Instant Answers, a feature that Live Search has increasingly been expanding.
Right now the NHL and NBA playoffs are going on. Last night the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Eastern Conference finals, beating my Carolina Hurricanes. The only thing that makes this ok is if they go on to beat the Detroit Red Wings for the Stanley Cup. BUT, Detroit's Western Conference playoffs are not over yet. They are up against the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 and need just one more game to move on. Game 5 is tonight and if you're away from your TV, you can check scores via Live.com and get an instant update on what's going on.
Maybe you're not away from your TV, but you're watching the Denver-Los Angeles game in the NBA playoffs. That series is tied at 2 games each. Perhaps you're interested in learning the stats of a particular player. Simply type that player's name into Live.com and get Instant Answers stats.
This feature is a little trickier, however, since players don't have unique names. For example, the Denver Nuggets Chris Anderson shares a name with a name with the editor-in-chief at Wired Magazine. No Instant Answers stats come up for his name.
Another Denver Nugget, J.R. Smith, shares a name with a plumbing products company. His Instant Answers stats show up after the first organic link for that company.
For the majority of names, the Instant Answers stats works just fine. It's a great feature for sports junkies who want to look up stats on the fly.

Finalist #2 in our 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, Government edition contest is from North Carolina:
Twas' the night before Christmas, and all through the State each employee had been furloughed, and told they had to wait.
The checkbooks were empty, not a single red cent just barely enough to pay the late rent.
Our children were nestled all snug in their beds, while we as state employees were wondering how to afford Christmas in our heads.
And mamma in the kitchen, making soup beans, While I work a second job to just make end means.
When over at the legislature, there arose such a clatter, as their pork barrel projects continued to get fatter.
Away to the state I drove my old car,to try to keep my job, with many being sent away far.
The moon on the Capital gave it just a shine, hoping for us, no welfare line.
Me and my co-workers, all stressed in our cubes, had nothing to do but wait on budget news.
Now the governor in her Suburban, all tight lipped too, hoping we wouldn't have to close the State Zoo.
We sit back and hope for a real St. Nick, So I don't have to ride to work a pogo stick.
While the economy is sour, no money to be had, I thank the State for a job and oh I am glad!

Damn dude, that kicks ass!!!

Dude... that is... an awesome conversion! Love to see it painted. Just needs like bits of metal or something on it and a Snotling (like the one on the Shokk Attack Gun suction hose) hanging for dear life!
Glad you like it. Leaving the paint job untill I get my airbrush in a few weeks. The snotling is a good idea, am planing to do some for my next project.
Makes my attempts at scratchbuilding/converting look a bit pathetic lol

Scratchbuilding Orks gives you a pretty wide margin of error cause they are meant to look messy. Deffo recommended them when your leaning the basics. Like learning the basics of sculpting greenstuff by making nurgle deamons.
Completely brilliant!
It's totally awesome
using the deffkopta like that is a great idea
the deffcopter part is an exelent usage.
Thanks. I got a tone of unpainted deffcopters dirt cheap from ebay and have been trying to find different uses for em.

Taylor Swift to release pop album
Published: Monday, August 18, 2014 at 6:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 18, 2014 at 6:08 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Taylor Swift is saying goodbye to country music, for now: The singer says she's releasing her first full-length pop album on Oct. 27.
The 24-year-old revealed in a livestream via Yahoo! on Monday that "1989," named for her birth year, is her "first documented official pop album."
The first single is the upbeat jam "Shake It Off," released Monday and debuted during the livestream.
Swift said her upcoming fifth album, which was mainly inspired by late '80s pop music, is the "most sonically cohesive album I've ever made."
"1989" was available for pre-order Monday. The singer also premiered the music video for "Shake It Off" during the livestream.
Swift's last effort was 2012's "Red," which sold 1.2 million copies in its first week.

Fairlie dog triallist Stephen Kerr and Mac pulled off a
hat-trick at the Mackenzie A&P Highland Show trials on
Easter Monday.
They not only won the dog trials open championship, earning
them a Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) silver medal, but the
pair also won the maiden and the district maiden
Show dog trial convener Geoff Allison said more than 50 dogs
from throughout Canterbury entered the competition - a
''serious competition'' over a drive and yard course
negotiating several complex obstacles including a Maltese
Ironically, it was Mr Kerr who provided the sheep - about 190
Meadowslea Romney-Texels, which had provided a ''fair sort of
challenge'', Mr Allison said.
Nick France, of Mayfield, judged the competition.
Mr Kerr and Mac won with 96 points. Peter Boys and Tweed, of
Timaru, were second with 95 points and Merv King and Kate, of
Geraldine, were third with 94 points. Des Lysaght and Pearl,
of Timaru, were fourth in the open and gained a Mackenzie
Show tartan ribbon for winning the run-off for maiden.
Second in the district maiden was Mr Allison with Luck, while
third was Ken Guy with Cap.

Stayed at Meek's Bay for 3 nights in an RV. We had plot R2 which is close to the toilets & showers & very close to the beach. Site was very clean and the toilets were cleaned daily to a good standard & kept clean. Didn't use the showers as we had the RV, but they looked very clean & are "wet room style" so spacious.
The beach is wonderful & Lake Tahoe a pleasure to swim in, so clear & clean although a little cold! You can hire speed boats , canoes or paddle boards from the marina at Meek's Bay although we didn't get round to it unfortunately. The scenery is beautiful as you face the Nevada mountains and have pine trees all around you. A snack bar on the beach serving beverages & snacks like burgers & nachos etc at pretty good value. Ducks & Canadian geese walk around the beach which is quite bizzare as your mind is continually fooled as you think you are sitting on a beach by the sea!
The staff were very friendly & really helpful. We had run out of fire wood one evening & there was none in the shop but the staff delivered us some to out plot - no hassle at all.
There is a bus that stops outside the resort & you can travel around the lake with ease. Make sure you hop on it & go for a meal at Gar Woods in Carnelian Bay - absolutely beautiful lake front restaurant. They have a very interesting drinks menu where you can order a range of Wet Woody drinks & the food menu is excellent too.
The temperature drops dramatically at night so take a jumper - remember you are at an elevation of 7,000 feet! You are also in bear country so all rules about food & smellies in bear boxes apply. If you are in an RV though you can leave everything inside it as long as you draw the curtains.
I will definately return & next time will stay in one of the cabins or lodges that are here too. The cabins have balconies that hang over the waters edge - just beautiful.

Shares of PC-related names seem to be holding up at the moment following the release a short while ago of research firm Gartner's report that global personal computer shipments fell 5.2% in Q1, to 71.1 million units, about in line with what the firm had expected.
Shares of Intel (INTC), Microsoft (MSFT), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate Technology (STX) are all flat or up slightly in late trading.
Says Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa, the replacement cycle that boosted shipments last year, with the end of support for Windows XP, has faded.
"However," Kitagawa says, "this decline is not necessarily a sign of sluggish overall PC sales long term."
"Mobile PCs, including notebooks, hybrid and Windows tablets, grew compared with a year ago; the first quarter results support our projection of a moderate decline of PC shipments in 2015, which will lead to a slow, consistent growth stage for the next five years."
Once again, Lenovo Group (0992HK) was the top performer, with 13.58 million units sold in Q1, for 18.9% share, up from 17% a year earlier, on 5.7% shipment growth.
HP came in number two, with 12.44 million units, a 2.5% climb, for 17.3% market share, up from 16%.
Dell, Asustek Computer (2357TW), and Acer (2353TW) round out the bottom three.
In the U.S. market, Apple (AAPL) saw units climb 8.9%, to 1.67 million units, for 12% market share, up from 10.9% a year earlier, placing it number three behind HP and Dell. HP's sales rose 3.5%, for 26% market share, while Dell saw a 3.8% decline. The strongest growth was from Lenovo, in fourth place behind Apple, with 1.65 million units, up 13.5%, for 11.8% share, up from 10.3% a year earlier.
Research firm Canalys this morning reports that shipments of tablet computers fell in Q4 by 12%, to 67 million, units, worse than the PC market decline, a development that was not unexpected, the firm reports.
Apple (AAPL) remained the top dog but saw an 18% decline as its updates to the iPad failed to wow, but Samsung Electronics (005930KS), the second-place vendor, saw even worse declines:
With an iterative product refresh this year, the drive to upgrade iPads was muted. But Apple accounted for over 30% of the market in Q4 and the strength of its ecosystem is helping it weather the storm in an increasingly competitive market,' continued Coulling. 'Samsung's tablets have struggled with inventory issues in 2014, which led to a modest 12% sequential increase in shipments. It will need to streamline its portfolio and improve channel management if it is to hold onto its share in 2015.'
Smaller vendors such as Amazon.com (AMZN) did better:
It was a different story for the other top-tier vendors, which all grew. Seasonal sales saw Amazon take back the third-place position it occupied a year ago, with 4 million units giving it a 6% share. Lenovo had its best ever quarter, shipping 3.7 million units for a 5.5% market share. Other notable highlights included Microsoft hitting just over 2 million shipments, and HP crossing the million unit threshold in tablets.
Microsoft (MSFT) is having some success in tablets, but smaller tablets of the 7-inch screen variety are suffering as bigger smartphones eat into their market:
In Q4 2014, 7″ tablets made up half of total Android tablet shipments, a segment that has seen steady declines from a high of 66% in the first quarter of the year. Demand in this segment has decreased due to cannibalization from large-screen smart phones and the intense price competition that has seen margins evaporate, making the segment unattractive to both vendors and channel partners. Canalys expects growth in 2015 to come from tablets with screen sizes larger than 8″ as vendors look to improve margins and micro-brand players exit the market. Some of this change will be driven by growth of the Windows platform.' Shipments exceeded 6 million units in Q4 2014, capturing just over 9% share in tablets. Microsoft's own-branded devices accounted for just over a third of worldwide shipments of Windows tablets as Surface Pro 3 sales continued to gain momentum.
Interestingly, Canalys, alone among market researchers, groups together Apple's iPad shipments and its Mac PC shipments to come up with an aggregate computer market share. That puts Apple at the top of the heap with a combined 27 million units, ahead of Lenovo (0992HK) at 20 million units.
BlueFin Research Partners analysts John Donovan and Steve Mullane today review what they've gleaned about production trends by Apple (AAPL), remarking that the see "no evidence the AAPL juggernaut to be derailed any time soon."
The authors make reference to supply chain sources, without saying specifically who those sources are.
After Apple's sales of the iPhone surpassed the authors' expectations in fiscal Q1, reported last week, they raise their outlook for the device this year as well:
As we had reported for most of 2014 our expectations for 2015 were ahead of consensus estimates and our research indicates an even healthier outlook for 2015. iPhone shipments in calendar 2014 surpassed 192 million and we are increasing our 2015 shipment forecast to 228M, a growth of 18% YoY [...] We are anticipating approximately 57-58M iPhones to ship in CQ1:15, of which 46-47M are forecasted to be iPhone 6 (31-32-42M iPhone 6, 15-16M 6 Plus in our estimates) and thus an additional 10-11M other phones (5s, 5c, 4s) [...] The iPhone 6 launch has been a tremendous success, and the insatiable demand for phone looks to have legs well into 2015. In a near perfect storm, we see a burgeoning opportunity in Asia, a highly fertile market of iPhone 4/5 users in the ecosystem still expected to upgrade in 2015, and the lack of any inspiring competitive solutions all clearing the path for continued success. While AAPL has had a tremendous run throughout 2014, we remain bullish on the 2015 (and beyond) opportunities as the iPhone success will be bolstered by the Apple Watch, new iPads, high-end Macs – and a likely foray into the TV landscape.
Apple continues to gobble up smartphone business, the authors write, and Samsung Electronics (005930KS) doesn't appear to be indicating any dramatic upturn in their business:
It is interesting to compare the 2014 performance of AAPL and their primary competitor Samsung. AAPL's 2014 unit growth finished up 26% YoY, while Samsung units fell 3% YoY to 315M. When factoring in annual ASPs for each competitor, the revenue picture actually favors AAPL by as much as $40B with AAPL near $121B and Samsung at $81B. Interestingly, the two companies had virtually identical smartphone revenue totals in 2013. We see the AAPL supply chain strengthening with less than a drop-off in the March quarter than initially anticipated, as indicated in Table 3. On the other hand, our Samsung supply chain reads suggest that the company is not anticipating a strong return to growth in 2015, but rather more stability (flattish growth) after the steep market share losses to AAPL and the Chinese vendors in 2014.
The authors see Apple's Mac continuing to outperform the PC market:
With units in 2014 reaching record levels of 19.5M, we are forecasting AAPL to buck the PC trend once again and post 10-12% unit upside in 2015 to near 22M based on our supply chain reads. Keeping in mind that the broader PC market is expected to decline 3-5% in our estimation in 2015 and the vast majority of activity coming at ultra-low price points, the AAPL momentum is even more impressive.
Apple shares today are down 58 cents, or 0.6%, at $116.58.
Following a better-than-expected fiscal Q1 report from Apple (AAPL) this evening, CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri held a conference call with analysts to discuss the results.
Cook called the results "an historical quarter," and said he was "incredibly proud of everyone who worked to make this possible."
Cook said demand for the iPhone "has been staggering" and that the sales of 74.5 million units was volume that "is hard to comprehend." Apple sold 34,000 iPhones "every hour of every day," he said.
The company's App Store saw sales rise 41%. "It was truly a momentous quarter for iOS," he said of the company's mobile operating system. The company sold its one billionth iOS-based device in November, he said, a "Space Grey" 64-gig iPhone 6 Plus.
Cook said the company's results would have been "even stronger" were it not for foreign exchange effects.
Cook said the company sold 7 million more units of iPhone than it had expected, and that its inventory of the iPhone was below its targeted range of 5 to 7 weeks of availability, after burning off 200,000 units. The company only came into supply/demand balance for the iPhone in the last month of the quarter.
The company's iPad inventory was within the company's targeted range. Mac units were "slightly below" the company's 4 to 5 week inventory target.
Cook highlit the company's new programming language, "Swift." He said the company was "blown away by the reaction to swift." "We believe it will have a profound effect." Downloads of the tools were over 11 million in the first month of availability. Apple is seeing "significant new projects" developed with the tools, he said.
Cook said the company's Apple Watch wearable will ship in April, which is a month later than some recent rumors. Cook said developers are "hard at work on 'Glances,'" referring to snippets of information that operate on the device.
Cook said the company is "in the first innings" of Apple Pay, and predicted 2015 will be "The Year of Apple Pay."
Cook highlit several data points: 750 banks and credit unions signed on to use it. Panera Bread, he said, is stating that 80% of their customers' mobile purchases have been via Apple Pay. And Whole Foods has claimed an increase of 400% in the use of the service within the first month of it was rolled out.
"I'm unbelievably shocked at how many merchants were able to implement Apple Pay in the heart of their holiday season. I give them a lot of credit for that."
Cook also talked up the company's "Mobile First" partnership with IBM (IBM) to make apps for iPad and iPhone:
The first ten Mobile First apps for iOS have been developed, and there are another twelve apps coming this quarter, and for four new industries: health care, energy, utilities, and industrials. That will bring it to 22 apps in total, and to over 100 in 2015. Some major institutions have adopted Mobile First, including Miami Dade County, and American Eagle. IBM has engaged with more than 130 companies additional companies.
Maestri noted the company had completed $103 billion of its existing $130 billion program of buybacks and dividends. He said the company expects to update the program when it reports Q2 results in April.
Maestri said the impact of foreign exchange will be "five points higher than what we are guiding to" for revenue, "if it weren't for forex movements."
Maestri said beyond Q2, "those headwinds will grow stronger" as Apple's currency hedging programs expire and are replaced by new hedges. "Having said all that, we have provided what we believe is very strong guidance for the March quarter," and "we remain very very confident in the pipeline of products we have."
He added that in some markets, the costs to hedge are prohibitive or the tools don't exist to hedge.
Cook was asked on the call about the mix of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. He said there was a definite difference in preference in different geographies.
Cook was asked about the sustainability of the iPhone sales cycle through the year:
You can see from the March guidance that we've given that we're incredibly bullish about iPhone going forward. We're doing well in virtually every corner of the world. We're very bullish taht it does have legs. I would point out that only a small fraction of the installed base has upgraded. I would also point out we had the highest number of customers new to iPhone last quarter than in any prior launch. The highest rate of Android switcher rates of any of the last three years. We see we are appealing to new customers, and people switching. Emergin markets, the growth was absolutely stunning — Brazil, mainland China, more than doubling year over year. That's three to four times what those markets were doing according to IDC.
Asked about the Apple Watch, Cook said,
My expectations are very high on it. I'm using it every day, and loving it, and I can't live without it. I see we're making great progress on the developer side. We're seeing some incredible innovation coming out there. What we had been saying was early 2015, and we sort of look at the year as early is the first four months, and so, to us, it's sort of within the range. It's basically when we thought. But most importantly we are going to be thrilled to start shipping because we've got a lot of customers who want to get one.
Asked about China, Cook said the "local competition has been there," but he pointed to mainland China being up over 100% form the prior year.
You can tell we are a big believer in China, we will hit 20 soon, and we are doubling that by mid-2016. We're also growing the channel there. Our online store has expanded to over 350 cities now. Online revenues in China last quarter were more than the sum of the previous five years. It's an incredible market. I think people love Apple products.
Maestri was asked about what was a deeper-than-normal decline from Q1 to Q2 implied in the forecast.
"As we look at it on a sequential basis, there are a couple of things that are a little important to point out; there are the foreign exchange headwinds that are a negative to revenue, that's one factor."
We've also said the manufacturing ramp in the December quarter has been the fastest we've ever had, and that impacts the sequential compare; and then there are a couple effects of last year that won't repeat, including launching China Mobile (CHL) last year, which was the initial channel fill. And then we had a strong quarter in Japan last year that pulled sales into the March quarter. That is not going to repeat.
Regarding iPad, and its double-digit unit decline, Cook was asked if it was going to see a replacement cycle or if innovation would drive growth, prompting a long reflection on his part:
I am still very optimistic and bullish on iPad over the long run. When you measure it in these 90-day clips, in the short run, I don't think you're going to see a miraculous change or improvement in the year over year. But I see that the first-time buyer rates are very high, and I mean, in some developed markets, like U.S. and Japan and U.K., 50% of the people are buying an iPad for the first time; in China, it's over 70%. You don't have a saturated market. I look at the customer sat, it's off the charts. Unheard of. I look at the usage, it's six times our nearest competitor. 71% of total tablets in Web browsing. Also the commerce taking place across the iPad is enormous. Over 80% of the commerce on tablets is taking place on iPad. I believe over the long arc of time, the iPad is a great business. I also have visibility to what's in the pipeline, and feel very, very good about that. I'm not predicting something very differnet form one quarter to the next, but over the long term. I think what you said is true, the upgrade cycle is longer than an iPhone, probably between an iPhone and a PC. There's probably some level of cannibalization going on with the Mac on one side, and the phone on the other. How much, very hard to tell in the early going. And so I think there's some things like that going on. On the other side, the partnership with IBM and the work we have going on in enterprise. I think that can move the dial there. I'm not predicting the 90-day clips and so forth, but over the long arc of time, I really think the iPad is a great space, and with the product innovation we've got, I think the future is very bright.
Cook was asked about Apple TV, its set-top box. He said the company has sold over 25 million units in the lifetime of the product. It remains "something we continue to work at."
Apple shares are up $5.36, or 5%, at $114.50.
Apple (AAPL) has reported fiscal Q1 revenue and profit per share that easily topped analysts' estimates, but forecast this quarter's revenue slightly below consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in December rose 30%, year over year, to $74.6 billion, yielding EPS of $3.06.
Analysts had been modeling $67.5 billion and $2.61 per share.
Apple's gross profit margin in the quarter was 39.9%, up from 37.9% a year earlier, it said.
The company sold 74.5 million iPhones, it said, topping average estimates in the range of 67 million to 70 million.
CEO Tim Cook, noting the revenue growth, remarked that "the execution by our teams to achieve these results was simply phenomenal."
CFO Luca Maestri said the company spent "over $8 billion" on its buybacks and dividends in the quarter, with a total spent so far of $103 billion, of which $57 billion was paid out in the last 12 months.
Sales of iPad came in at 21.42 million, units, for revenue of $8.99 billion, down 18% in unit terms from the prior year and down 22% in revenue terms.
Mac units in the quarter rose 14%, year over year, to 5.52 million units.
Sales into the greater china region were up 70%, year over year, to $16 billion. That was nearly as much as all of Europe, at $17.2 billion.
Apple said its services revenue was up 9%, year over year, at $4.8 billion.
For the current quarter, the company forecast revenue in a range of $52 billion to $55 billion, which is slightly below consensus for $53.64 billion.
The company projects gross profit margin in a range of 38.5% to 39.5%.
Apple stock is up $5.69, or over 5%, at $114.84, in late trading.
Apple will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch a webcast of it on the company's investor relations page.
Shares of Intel (INTC) are down 29 cents, or 0.8%, at $36.16, following mixed coverage: one downgrade, one almost-upgrade, following the company's Q4 report last Thursday.
On the negative front, JMP Securities's Alex Gauna cut his rating on the stock to Market Underperform from Market Perform, with a $30 price target, writing that his "diligence with industry sources reveals" that there has "been a sharp reduction in server activity entering 2015."
Gauna thinks that recent gross margin of 65% cannot sustain a slowing in server chip sales, nor can the stock multiple (Intel shares trade at 15 times this year's consensus EPS estimate):
Our source is another supplier of components into server platforms, and while it is possible this is a timing and/or temporary anomaly, we believe current elevated valuation levels are not capable of absorbing such a setback, particularly given the unusual slowdown at this early stage in the Grantley upgrade cycle, the breadth and magnitude of the momentum change, and the risk of excess inventory overhang following the abnormally strong 11% q/q and 25% y/y growth that Intel reported for Data Center revenues last quarter.
In addition to the server risk, Gauna is concerned that last week "indications emerged that Global Foundries, Samsung, and TSM had secured orders for the next generation of Apple based on FinFET technology, a development that broadens and intensifies the competitive landscape." Gauna adds to that other risks, such as servers using ARM Holdings (ARMH) technology, and Apple developing its own chip for its Mac personal computers.
"We believe Apple is working on its own ASIC for OS X in Macs and we see the availability of multiple FinFET foundry options for Apple as problematic for Intel, even if it secures some of this business for itself," he writes.
On the lukewarm front, Canaccord Genuity's Matt Ramsay writes that "our view of Intel fundamentals continues to trend more positive" because of things such as the Internet of Things and better manufacturing economics.
"In fact, we spent the holiday weekend conducting a deeper analysis with the intention to upgrade Intel shares to BUY," writes Ramsay.
"However, given our estimate for essentially no EPS growth in 2015 and a valuation level we believe largely prices in expectations for solid 2016 EPS growth, we just can't justify the requisite upside."
Among the various factors, the server market is the brightest spot, with "Q4/14 DCG results very strong," referring to the "data center group." Server chip volumes was up 15% and prices up 10%.
The bad part of last week's report was that the PC market is "back to reality," he writes. "While 4% PCCG growth in 2014 was certainly better than our initial expectation, Q4/14 sales of $8.8B missed our $9.2B estimate" as "the enterprise WinXP upgrade tailwind is slowing."
The "ugly" part of the report was the ongoing loss in mobile of $1 billion in the quarter. "With LTE thin-modem and lower-cost SoFIA products launching in 2015, management anticipates losses will be reduced, but only by roughly $800M."
Shares of Intel (INTC) are down 5 cents at $36.14, in early trading, continuing weakness from the after-hours session last night after the company beat Q4 earnings expectations, on slightly-lower-than-expected revenue, and forecast this quarter's revenue slightly below consensus.
CEO Brian Krzanich appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box this morning, facing anchors Becky Quick, Joe Kernen, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, but also noted short seller Jim Chanos, who had advised before Krzanich came on to short Intel shares.
Quick asked Krazanich about the after-hours dip in the stock, on what appeared to be a slightly disappointing Q1 forecast:
I try not to watch the stock's day to day trends because the strategy really plays out over a long time. For us, the Q1 forecast was right in line with a seasonal transition, and in line with our expectation for 2015 for mid-single-digit [revenue] growth.
Quick asked Krzanich to "make the case" for why Intel will be a winner in mobile chips in five years' time:
The mobile space is becoming more and more important. Fewer and fiewer companies have the capability to build devices. The intellectual property in that area is very important. You've got to set the pace in that area. Whether you want to sell servers, or PCs, most vendors want to have a single source to go to. So, it's important that we are in the mobile space. You can't be absent from that space and also be in the PC space, and the internet of things space.
Quick asked Krzanich about his outlook on the PC market:
One thing we've been able to do is really transition the company to grow, with a PC base that's flat. Our projection for 2015 is for a relatively flat PC base, from a unit perspective, and a slight decline from ASPs [average selling prices]. With our data center, our internet of things, our flash memory, all the other things we're in, we can grow. So our projection for PCs this year is flat.
Quick asked about rumors this week that Apple (AAPL) could be prepared to dump Intel chips in Mac computers and replace them with Apple's own custom parts:
I just hear the same rumors that are out there. Our relationship with Apple is strong and their products are great. Apple are always going to choose the supplier that can give them the most amount of innovation. Our job is to continue to give them that, with parts that are better than competitors. We have to provide the most competitive parts in terms of performance, price, and reliability.
When it was Chanos's term, he asked about Intel's receivables, which he noted were up 24% in the quarter versus a 6% climb in revenues.
Krzanich replied,
We are pretty comfortable with inventories, they're in line with seasonal patterns. There was a slight burn as we went through Q4. Receivables were up a little, but that's normal. Overall, we are very comfortable with where inventory is. It pretty much played out as we expected.
Chanos also asked about capital expenditures, noting that the expected $10 billion expense this year, and a pattern of $10 to $11 billion per year in recent years, is running well ahead of depreciation expense of $7 billion, prompting some to wonder whether depreciation is understated, given that the difference amounts to 50 cents to 75 cents per share.
Krzanich pointed out that the company's capital spending has different times frames for depreciation. "Some is buildings, which may have 20-year depreciation cycles, and then there's equipment for our factories that may have a 4-year or 5-year cycle, so when we project it all out, we are very comfortable with where it's at. It does climb, but not excessively so.
JMP Securities's Alex Gauna today reiterates a Market Outperform rating on shares of Apple (AAPL), and raised his price target to $150 from $135, the highest price target on the Street, based on what appears to him to be an "explosive" quarter in the making for the company as far as sales of the iPhone 6, and also, to some extent, sales of the iPad.
I spoke by phone with Gauna this afternoon to go through the details. This is what he had to say:
We raised our estimates and price target on the stock, following a review of what we saw from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. Demand is exceptionally strong both in the U.S. and China, with lead times at higher memory count models of the iPhone 6 Plus and also the iPhone 6. Also, there's been strong demand for the iPad Air 2. The iPhone 6 Plus is stocked out at all three major carriers in China, and we're seeing the longest lead times we've seen at Apple stores there, so very consistent with what we've seen in U.S. Overall, we're seeing very limited supply, with lead times still very strong. That suggests average selling prices (ASPs) can be very strong for Apple, and the gross margin potential is high. Another observation is that at Best Buys in major metros in NYC, Chicago, Dallas, LA, etc., 90% or more of them, the iPad Air 2 is stocked out, as is the iPad Mini 3. We like what we've seen. China Mobile (CHL) subscriber adds have been accelerating, through October, and we think iPhone is a big part of that. Once we see November and December, we think it will turn out to be be explosive this quarter for Apple.
I asked Gauna whether it might be the case that supply is still so low for the iPhone that lead times reflect merely so-so demand that is not being filled by very limited supply. He insists that's not the case:
We don't think supply is so low that it reflects limited demand. Apple suppliers have said even Apple has been surprised by the strength of demand. We are now modeling $67 billion in revenue for this quarter, above the company's own guidance, based in part on our industry sources. One thing we do have confidence in with [CEO] Tim Cook is his operational excellence. Some of this may be supply constraints of the company's own making, but based on the strength of demand — and we'll see some evidence of that potentially after the close today, with Avago [Technologies (AVGO), a wireless chip maker that supplies the iPhone is reporting earnings after the bell] — the read-through is very favorable. We put a lot into this; a $150 target is putting a market multiple on the stock, and also a 1 times P/EG [P/E to growth multiple]. What I think is also very telling is the competition continues to fade. Samsung [Electronics (005930KS) is still seeing slippage. The September quarter numbers [for smartphones] showed Apple had turned the tables, and gained share. That looks to continue to through the December quarter. Samsung is really the only other rival, and that also has favorable implications for pricing and margins [for Apple]. Some of this is also coming from store checks and online discussions with carrier customer service staff, though we realize all this is by no means comprehensive.
Regarding the numbers, Gauna says the new growth outlook he has for Apple supports a stock valuation of 1 times the P/E relative to the growth:
$67 billion reflects a 16% rate this quarter, year over year, up from 12% last quarter. That is the 16 times multiple we are using, and we see Apple maintaining a mid-teens growth rate for the next couple years. We don't see the competitive landscape closing now. Also, Google's (GOOGL) Nexus 6 [smartphone] is having some production issues of its own.
I asked if Gauna was concerned that this cycle of the iPhone will fade, and leave little after it, as was expressed yesterday by Andy Hargreaves of Pacific Crest. He appreciates the concern, but is not so worried:
There is some validity to the question of what the cycle is. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus represent a major step forward for Apple. I think they can match that in 2015. We'll have to see, but ultimately, it's very positive that China has a real 4G network going into place and demand is so strong. Once you get a full year of 4G in place with all three carriers (China Unicom and China Telecom are not even into their roll out), that's the most clear tailwind for the story. Then, you can layer in a little bit of help from Apple Watch, though that's going to take some time. Our store checks suggest the smart watch [market] is not happening yet without Apple. We'll see if the Watch can be more than Android Wear has been. But at least they haven't ceded that market to anyone. It's not like when they let Samsung ship tens of millions of units of large-screen phones. So that door is still open to Apple, and then strengthening the ecosystem through Apple Pay. By 2016, when we are talking about iPhone 7, we are getting some interesting potential for battery life because of FinFet [3-D transistor technology] as well.
Toward the close of the conversation, Gauna opined it is a matter of when, not if, Apple will dump Intel (INTC) chips for ARM Holdings (ARMH)-based parts in its Mac computers:
One thing we are waiting for them to do is to expand the next chips, the A9, A10, into Macs. It's happening, it's just a question of when not if. I don't know when it will happen. But for the first time in 2015 they will have access to FinFet technology. TSM [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC)] has announced they've pulled the 10-nano production into 2015 — it will be available by holiday, 2015. They [TSM] wouldn't say that if they couldn't do it. Whether Apple goes with the bleeding edge, we'll just have to wait and see. Why would they move? Because of the 65% gross margin for Intel. It is a king's ransom. You know Apple's reputation with suppliers. They have not managed to have leverage with Intel before. Now, if Intel has the better transistor technology, Apple won't sacrifice the integrity of their platform. And they don't want to be sole-sourced to Qualcomm (QCOM) on the modem, so we'll have to see how it plays out. But those efforts, that pipeline, are in place. It's now just a question of when not if.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $2.47, or 2.5%, at $102.23, after the company last night beat fiscal Q4 expectations and forecast this quarter's revenue higher as well, boosted by what CEO Tim Cook called "staggering" demand for its new iPhone 6 models.
On the conference call, the company noted it is "not nearly close" in terms of getting enough supply of the iPhones to balance out that surging demand, making it hard to know what the ultimate level of demand may be. The company also said it will change its reporting in the current quarter, to report revenue from Apple Pay payments service in a special "services" line item on its income statement.
It also said that that when it does ship the Apple Watch next year, it plans to stuff the numbers into the category of "other" revenue, a move that was reported this morning by Daisuke Wakayabayashi of The Wall Street Journal as meaning the company "would not report watch sales as it does for iPhones and iPads." (In fact, what Cook said, when pressed on the matter, was that " In the future, we might decide something different. But for now, in Q1 we're not shipping any Apple Watches. And so it seems appropriate to start it that way.")
The shares got a lift today from noted hedgie David Einhorn, who appeared on CNBC, saying that the company is "pretty much working on all cylinders."
Price targets are rising today, as the bulls anticipate the major iPhone upgrade cycle has legs, especially given Apple is tracking below its targeted inventory levels, suggesting there will be shipments well into March to build channel supplies.
Brian White, Cantor Fitzgerald: Reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his price target to $143 from $123. "In our view, innovation is alive and well in Cupertino and we believe this "super cycle" is just getting started [...] With Apple trading at just 10.3x our CY:15 EPS estimate (ex- cash), we believe the market needs to start thinking more boldly about Apple and appreciate the company's opportunity to reinvent new product categories for years to come [...] We believe the partnership with IBM will open up new opportunities for the iPad in the enterprise market and ultimately we expect Apple to launch a larger-sized iPad (i.e., 12.9-inch iPad) that we have discussed as the 'iPad Pro'."
Bill Shope, Goldman Sachs: Reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his price target to $124 from $115. "This was a strong set of results as Apple delivered a clean beat both for the September quarter and December guidance. Importantly, gross margins were in-line to modestly better than expected, which we think should serve to offset a key bear concern on margin pressure from the new product ramp."
Mike Walkley, Canaccord Genuity: Reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his price target to $120 from $115. "We believe Apple's Q1/'15 sales guidance in the range of $63.5-66.5B was adversely impacted by F/X from the stronger dollar and iPhone demand well above Apple's ability to supply throughout the December quarter. Our updated estimates are at the high-end of Apple's guidance due to our surveys indicating an increasing sales mix of higher-ASP 64GB (versus 16GB) iPhone 6/6 Plus SKUs combined with a growing demand for the higher-ASP iPhone 6 Plus, particularly in China. We anticipate materially higher iPhone ASPs during Q1/F'15 and maintain above-consensus iPhone ASP of $680 adjusting for deferred revenue. Given the strong results and guidance, we maintain our bullish F2015 product cycle thesis." Walkley trimmed his 2015 estimates to $215.9 billion in revenue form $217.2 billion, given lower iPad sales, but raised his EPS estimates to $8 from $7.77.
Tim Arcuri, Cowen & Co.: Reiterates an Outperform rating, and raises his price target to $113 from $110. "Better iPhone units/ASP so early in the launch plus a desire to build more channel inventory should add nice revenue ballast for a 1H:15 that we have always felt is under-modeled by the Street. iPad #s are likely to remain weak until 12.9″ launch, but Pay and Watch create new angles to the narrative and allow investors to "dream" again on where iPhone (and maybe Apple Watch) units can go as consumers buy more hardware because of these new use cases. Finally, we didn't get anything new on capital return on this call, but in-line w/prior years, this should come in the Spring and we would expect another meaningful step-up in capital return." Arcuri raised his 2015 estimates to $219.85 billion and $8.35 per share in earnings, up from $214.52 billion and $7.83.
Toni Sacconaghi, Bernstein Research: Reiterates an Outperform rating, and raises his price target to $110 from $108. "Overall, Apple projected a very bullish tone – it dramatically accelerated its share repurchases, spoke of very strong YoY growth in iPhone in all 39 launched countries to date, and were enthusiastic about its overall business looking into 2015 [...] Apple repurchased $17B in stock during the quarter ($9B through an ASR and $8B through open-market purchases), and paid out $2.8B in dividends. This represents an acceleration of its buyback programs, as the company had $39B in authorization remaining at the end of Q3, which would have suggested ~$8B in buybacks per quarter given Apple's intention to complete its $90B in buybacks by the end of CQ415. Apple attributed the more aggressive buyback to confidence in the company's upcoming product roadmap and strong demand for the iPhone 6/6+, and stated that it expects to update its capital return program at a similar time of the year as occurred during FY14, which would suggest April (FQ2) earnings.
Gene Munster, Piper Jaffray: Reiterates an Overweight rating, and a $120 price target. "During the Sep-14 earnings call, Apple management noted that starting in FY15 (the December quarter) the company will begin to target 5-7 weeks of channel inventory for iPhone and iPad. Based on our sales expectations for Mar-15 for each segment, the new channel inventory target would seem to imply an additional 3-4 million iPhone units and 1-1.5 million iPad units to be recognized in the Mar-15 quarter. Overall we believe this could add about $2.8 billion in revenue to March or about 5% excluding our estimate for the channel benefit [...] Beyond the March quarter, we believe buy side thinking will gradually shift away from the widely held product cycle trade approach and begin to value Apple more as a hardware/software platform that is unique in its ability to benefit from a world of increasing device usage."
Katy Huberty, Morgan Stanley: Reiterates an Overweight rating, and a $115 price target. "Apple characterized iPhone 6 demand as "staggering" and "markedly higher in every single country." Our checks suggest early supply constraints have been addressed, but with Apple expanding from 32 countries today to more than 115 by December quarter- end, we see the potential for meaningful channel inventory build in March, which could drive better than normal seasonality. What's more, consensus estimates only assume half of the 250M iPhone 4s and older devices still in use will be upgraded this year, leaving considerable pent-up demand in FY16. If Apple Pay or Apple Watch gain traction, we see further iPhone upgrade potential in FY15 and FY16."
Tavis McCourt, Raymond James: Reiterates an Outperform rating, and a $110 price target. "Supply/demand imbalance bodes well for March seasonality: "Not on the same planet" is how Tim Cook described today's iPhone supply/demand balance. At this point, the company is selling everything it can make, and it is unlikely it will be able to fill channel inventories to optimal levels by the end of the quarter. This should make for a less seasonal March quarter than typical." McCourt raised his 2015 estimates to $212.83 billion and $7.48 per share from a prior $207.95 billion and $7.28.
Adnaan Ahmad, Berenberg: Reiterates a Sell Rating, and a $60 price target. "Our take here is that Apple has costs under better control in this cycle relative to previous ones and this shows as the cost per GB essentially doubled as Apple took away the 32GB option. In addition, we think that CEO Tim Cook has paid a lot of attention to gross margin development as he knows that this is critical for investors. In other words, the iPhone 6 versus other iPhones (in an extreme) has probably been designed with the share price in mind [...] Given the euphoria around upgrading to the 6 (among new and existing users), the concern we have is that future demand may have been pulled forward. What will the iPhone 7 have to differentiate it, a six-inch screen? A curved/flexi screen? In other words, this is the "once in a lifetime" upgrade/catch-up cycle. Beyond that, as with Samsung, what is the hardware innovation that differentiates? Foldable? If this thought process plays out as we think it may, 2015 is going to be an amazing year for Apple earnings, but there is a risk that 2016 will see a deceleration. And earnings deceleration for a well-loved/well-owned/heavily-hyped stock is never a good thing in our view.
Sherri Scriberner, Deutsche Bank: Reiterates a Hold rating, and a $102 price target. "We have tweaked our FY-15 GMs higher, driving a modest $0.10 increase in our FY-15E EPS, but have left the majority of our model unchanged. With strong near-term growth largely factored into AAPL's current valuation and limited catalysts ahead of the Apple Watch, we expect shares to remain range bound and maintain our Hold rating."
Stuart Jeffrey, Nomura Equity Research: Reiterates a Neutral rating and a $104 price target. "We continue to believe that demand for $450 and higher smartphones is finite and already close to saturation. Current strength in iPhone 6 sales are thus likely caused by an accelerated replacement cycle (both deferred and brought forward purchases) driven by the devices' bigger screens. With 5s launch sales just 7% higher than those of the 5, innovation likely to prove limited with the 's' release cycle and the impact of a premium device launch (6plus) factored into year-on-year numbers, the scope for material growth in 12 months time appears limited to us. Despite this, management's target to boost channel inventory levels provides some support for FY15 growth. The iPhone 6 plus share of sales may yet surprise (boosting ASPs), and management also has the flexibility to announce a bigger-than-expected extension to the share buy-back plan should growth in net-income disappoint."
Brian Blair, Rosenblatt Securities: No formal rating. "We are intrigued by Apple's introduction of a new reporting segment, where it will wrap iPod, Beats headphones and other accessories as well as Apple Watch into a new "Other" category [...] We believe this will serve to mask critical metrics and ultimately allow the iPod category to quietly die (no new upgrades for 2 years) and allow the Apple Watch to hold some anonymity as it gets off the ground [...] We have been consistent in our view of iPad units in decline along with the overall tablet market softness. While Apple management is hopeful that a bright opportunity remains for the category, Tim Cook made comments on the conference call addressing the potential for cannibalization of iPad given the larger iPhone screens. The company recognizes that some buyers may opt for just an iPhone now, and they are content that selling that once device. (We think it's critical to note the higher ASP of the iPhone 6+ relative to the iPad Mini models.)."
Kulbinder Garch, Credit Suisse: Reiterates a Neutral rating, and a 110 price target. " We believe there is significant [iPhone] backlog and the real issue is supply. We now project volumes of 61mn/193mn /194mn units in the December quarter, FY15, and FY16, respectively [...] We continue to scope EPS momentum [...] We continue to believe that the stock will perform well near-term. However, with only 10% upside, we maintain our Neutral rating.
Andy Hargreaves, Pacific Crest: Reiterates a Sector Perform rating. "Despite the strong revenue numbers, FQ4 gross margin of 38.0% was below our estimate of 39.3%, and FQ1 gross-margin guidance of 37.5% to 38.5% failed to produce the upside that many investors anticipated from a strong mix of iPhone 6 Plus and 64 GB and 128 GB SKUs. This is likely to lower the high end of investor expectations for gross margin and earnings power through the iPhone 6 cycle [...] Both iPhone units and margins are relatively well understood for the current product cycle, so we believe a sustainable reversal in iPad unit sales or better expectations for Apple Watch may be needed to drive AAPL higher."
The Street overnight was pondering what to make of Apple's (AAPL) update yesterday of its iPad lineup, which featured a refreshed iPad Air with a thinner, lighter frame, the addition of "Touch ID" fingerprint recognition, and a cut in the price of the iPad Mini.
There was also an update to the iMac line, with a 27-inch model sporting a Retina Display, and there was the announcement by CEO Tim Cook that the company's Apple Pay electronic payments service goes live on Monday, the same day as Apple's earnings report. And there was a new, lower-priced version of the Mac Mini display-less computer, at $499.
Apple shares today are up $1.82, or 1.9%, at $98.08, after yesterday selling off slightly on the news.
The view from the Street is largely positive, even if yesterday's announcements struck most as "modest" or not as thrilling as the recent iPhone and Apple Watch unveiling.
Brian Blair with Rosenblatt Securities writes that "In our view, the most critical takeaway from the event is the new pricing structure for iPad as Apple has decided to keep more models than ever on the production line in an effort to address as many price points as possible."
Throughout this year, we have talked about the decline of the tablet market and we see this move as Apple's effort to stem that decline and potentially spur growth by addressing the numerous pricing tiers for both the larger and the smaller form factors. We still believe Apple will introduce a 12-inch iPad in 2015, and expect this to be a central piece of the IBM/Apple enterprise effort, which will ramp in the new year. We believe this model could be introduced into the line up next year at the $599 price point.
Cantor Firtzgerald's Brian White reiterates a Buy rating, and a $123 price target, writing that "Given all the new product introductions and innovations unveiled by Apple over the past several weeks, we believe the company has positioned itself extremely well this holiday season and through the Chinese New Year in early 2015."
White lauds the "amazing" display quality of the revamped "5K" iMac, and thinks the iPad Air 2 will scoop up holiday sales:
In our view, the iPad makes an excellent gift and yesterday's refresh with the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 that includes the addition of a third color (i.e., gold) and Touch ID, bodes well for demand this holiday season. We also expect these new gold iPads to be met with strong demand during the Chinese New Year in early 2015. Although Apple may not have surprised the market with the products that were announced yesterday, we believe the thinness of the iPad Air 2 was a major surprise given that Apple had already reduced the thickness of the original iPad Air by 20% compared to the prior iPad iteration. During the hands-on session, we took the iPad Air 2 for a test drive, and we found the device to be "insanely" thin.
Tavis McCourt of Raymond James, who maintains an Outperform rating, zeros in on the rather aggressive-sounding remarks by Tim Cook about iPhone sales, writing "As part of his opening remarks, CEO Tim Cook noted sales of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have set a highwater mark for most orders in the first 30 days of a launch saying 'I don't mean by a lot, I mean by a whole lot.'"
Concludes McCourt, "As remains the story with Apple, this statement is by far the most financially meaningful near-term takeaway from today's event as the iPad and Mac updates are not likely to be noticeable financially. We note that retail stores we surveyed yesterday were quoting three to four week shipment dates for most iPhone 6/6 Plus models with higher memory configurations."
RBC Capital Markets's Amit Daryanani, reiterating an Outperform rating, and a $114 price target, writing that "In our view, the Apple event was largely in line with expectations and sets up for a busy holiday season."
Given a lack of meaningful electronics upgrade in the iPad Mini, Daryanani thinks the company will sell more of the price-reduced prior two models:
While the form factor remains the same, the company added Touch ID to the iPad Mini 3. Notably, price points for the iPad Mini 2 (now starts at $299) and iPad Mini (now starts at $249) will drop. We do think the only real incremental with Mini 3 is Touch ID (same processor, same screen). Hence, we suspect that Mini 2 and Mini original may end up selling better given lower ASPs (Mini 2 at $299, Mini Original at $249).
Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray reiterates an Overweight rating, writing that "We believe these updates are important because they impact about 30% of Apple's total business and, although the updates weren't as exciting as those from the iPhone 6 launch, were necessary to keep the iPad and Mac lines fresh."
Of the iPad upgrades, he writes that "Overall we view these updates as incremental to iPad and do not change our overall view that iPad will continue to see modest growth over the next few years."
Even some bears seem rather content with Apple having reinforced its overall compute franchise.
Credit Suisse's Kulbinder Garcha reiterates a Neutral rating, and a $110 price target, writing of the announcements in sum that "All this allows Apple to sustain a competitive advantage across the entire compute market – smartphones, tablets and PCs."
In particular, the iPad Mini pricing suggests Apple "does appear to have priced this upgrade more aggressively than the past with its iPad range starting at $249 and expanding to $499 for basic 16GB models."
This won't bring growth in tablets, but it will support Apple's current position, he writes:
Will it stimulate growth? We think unlikely for iPad. We currently assume iPad volumes to fall y/y to -4%/-3%, or 68.3mn/66.1mn units, in FY14/15. While we believe the upgrade is decent, we remain of the view that the vast range of low priced competitors (while inferior) are likely continue to drive the shift to $100 or below price points. We maintain our view that market share will drop to around 20% in FY14 from over 32% last year. However, equally we believe Apple retains advantages in terms of wider compute offering and higher levels of usage.
Concludes Garcha, "Near term we continue to believe the shares will perform well driven by EPS momentum and strength in the iPhone business."

Portman, Messina Spar Ahead of Debate
By Laura Meckler and Sara Murray
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.—Ahead of the second presidential debate, surrogates for the Romney and Obama campaigns engaged in some chest-thumping over the state of the race in the critical state of Ohio.
Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio declared his home state a "dead heat."

"It's going to shift and change all the time but the polls are within the margin of error," said Mr. Portman, who has been acting as President Barack Obama during practice debates with Republican nominee Mitt Romney. "Our own tracking indicates that it's, you know, it's a dead heat."
Mr. Portman said that was a shift from polling before the first debate, which showed a big gap between the president and his Republican opponent.
That prompted a response from Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, who visited the press filing center a bit later but still well ahead of the actual debate.
"I just heard (Sen.) Portman talking out here (talking) about how they have internals showing them within the margin of error in Ohio. Usually when you have internals talking about being within the margin of error, you're losing, and I think that's true with Ohio."
He predicted Mr. Obama would win in Ohio and "across the Midwest."
Public polls have tightened since the first debate, but the vast majority still show Mr. Obama leading in the Buckeye State—albeit by smaller and in some cases margin-of-error margins.

What I'm looking to do is to edit the filter that choose what is considered a Related Product or not.
From reading the WooCommerce docs, on each single product page, a related product is found by adding similar products in the same product category or tags.
Now, that's all fine and dandy, but since I have a store that has CDs, DVDs, etc. it's pulling in CDs from totally different genres.
I'm looking to remove the snippit of code that "pulls in" the related products in the same category and want to use JUST the tags.
The furthest I've gotten is found the file /woocommerce/templates/single-product/related.php file. Code attached. I believe it pulls it in somewhere here, or pulls in a function from somewhere else that I can't find.
* Related Products
* @author WooThemes
* @package WooCommerce/Templates
* @version 1.6.4
global $product, $woocommerce_loop;
$related = $product->get_related();
if ( sizeof($related) == 0 ) return;
$args = apply_filters('woocommerce_related_products_args', array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'no_found_rows' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'orderby' => $orderby,
'post__in' => $related
) );
$products = new WP_Query( $args );
$woocommerce_loop['columns'] = $columns;
if ( $products->have_posts() ) : ?>

<?php _e('Related Products', 'woocommerce'); ?>

<?php while ( $products->have_posts() ) : $products->the_post(); ?>
<?php woocommerce_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php endif;
I did some searching and I couldn't find an answer to my solution.
I also picked through the code and haven't found a solution either.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I think it would be really helpful for other people since I've seen others looking to modify the code themselves as well.
Thanks so much,

Pay a visit to the Burger Shack, where the patty-flippers at the grill serve up extra attitude with a side of sarcasm, and customer service is a concept that no one quite gets. Pretty waitress Natalie (Angela Trimbur) can't get an even break; she just found out that her boyfriend is having a fling and the hungry customers couldn't care less about her crumbling social life. Meanwhile, brooding busboy Kevin can't summon the courage to tell Natalie how he really feels about her, and trash-talking manager Clint has the social skills of a lobotomized chimp. Just when it seemed that their night couldn't get any weirder, a monkey drops in for a bite to eat and a gang of bumbling thieves make a play to rob the place. By the time their shift is over, the Burger Shack crew is going to need something a bit harder than Pink Lemonade to put the evening's events into perspective. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
