Apple's 13 percent sales decline and subsequent stock price drop this week has lead to the usual crazy talk about how to fix the company. Vivek Wadhwa has suggested the radical move of Apple buying Tesla and installing Elon Musk as the visionary white knight to save the company, least it follow the footsteps of HP and Compaq. I've never been a big fan boy and have long noted the long slowdown in innovations coming out of the company, but Apple doesn't need such a radical fix and I doubt Musk would be interested. Besides, there's a better M&A fit than Tesla. In sports there are many tales of epic heroism, from Madison Square Garden erupting when Willis Reed walked out of the tunnel in game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, Carlton Fisk's walk-off homerun in the 1975 World Series, Christian Laettner's buzzer-beater against Kentucky or even Curt Schilling's bloody sock game. If municipalities like Alexandria build their own fiber network, Verizon will be at the mercy of the local government to purchase access for connecting 5G cell sites. To be fair, I've yet to hear of a muni-fiber deal where the government got the better part of the deal, but city officials may not feel exceptionally generous with leasing terms given that Verizon's failure to deliver FiOS in Alexandria has left Comcast with a broadband monopoly. Unless you have been living in a cave for last several months, you have been inundated with political rhetoric. Both Blue and Red candidates are assaulting our senses with countless commercials and constant campaigning. Whether you are checking your social media feed for the latest and greatest in sound bites or can't wait for this circus to leave town, one of the greatest rights we in the United States possess, is the right to vote. Travel may be starting to make a bit of a comeback, as a new report suggests that shared-space providers like Airbnb and WeWork are on the rise. Over the past 13 years, Apple has been one of the most successful companies in the world of tech, posting sales growths in 51 straight quarters. That streak has finally come to an end, with Apple projecting a decline in sales. What's worse is that this does not appear to be a problem that will correct itself right away, and could last throughout the rest of this year. One of the great downsides to having a lot of content in any one place is that, after a while, it starts looking downright pointless to add more. It has been a year and change since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) declared stronger rules for the Internet by reclassifying broadband access under Title II. Shortly thereafter, the PR machines of the telecommunications industry pumped out tales of woe both directly through their associations and via various paid surrogates. A new and unsettling movement is taking place in the content markets, and it's focused around one of America's most hated companies: Comcast.
