Netflix
Netflix's stock, Web site both go down
SAN FRANCISCO - Netflix Inc.'s stock price plunged to its lowest point in more than two years Tuesday after the online DVD rental leader reported the first quarterly customer losses in its history and dimmed its earnings outlook for the rest of the year.

To make matters worse, Netflix's Web site — the hub of its rental system — went down Monday evening and remained inaccessible as of Tuesday afternoon (EDT). Spokesman Steve Swasey attributed the outage to an unanticipated problem that he declined to describe. Engineers hoped to fix the trouble by 2 p.m. EDT.
Netflix had been in the process of updating its computers to reflect price reductions that took effect Tuesday.
I didn't get my piece of the settlement so screw 'em.

Apple shares fall on iPhone numbers
AT&T — the iPhone's exclusive carrier — said it activated 146,000 iPhones on June 29 and 30, a number that disappointed investors following some analyst forecasts that Apple would sell 500,000 or more iPhones in its first weekend.

CIBC said it expects Apple and AT&T to boost their marketing push for the iPhone and the companies could introduce a new model in November — earlier than expected — that operates on a faster network. The two models now available cost $499 and $599.
Are you fuckin kidding me?!? Not only are these stupid shits surprised they didn't sell more of the damn things. But they had planed to release new models before the POS even got cold.
Shit, the Samsung SCH-a990 is like 130 bucks now and when my current contract is up next year it will probably be going for a two, or three fer one deal.
