Small items:<\/p>\n

+ Final stock in yesterday’s portfolio should be SLTM, not SLTN. The portfolio is up since Friday. But then so is most everything else, including SGOL (gold).<\/p>\n

+ Skype reached a new record: 20 million simultaneous conversations. For families, Skype video is the best. The video and audio are crystal clear. And the price is right (between computers) — free.<\/p>\n

Most laptops now come with built-in camera. But you can also buy external USB cameras for $30. Check\u00a0 Amazon out for “USB cameras.” All current Apple laptops and iPads have cameras. You can also do video Skype with the iPhone and iPod Touch.<\/p>\n

My friends in Australia use Skype for business.\u00a0 I had a Skype video call between me and someone in Perth, Western Australia. That’s about as far as you can go. It wa perfect.<\/p>\n

+ I dropped by the local Palm Desert Apple store yesterday. It was mobbed. One highlight: An Apple employee was showing stuff\u00a0 to\u00a0 a little old lady between 75 and death. She had just bought a new MacBook.\u00a0 I actually heard her squeak, “”This is the most fun I’ve had in years.”<\/p>\n

+ Friend like FTK. Worth looking at.<\/p>\n

Apple’s stock closed yesterday at $606.98.<\/p>\n
