Stevie’s plan is coming together

The iPod isn’t just a music player. It’s an incubator. Steve Jobs’ has thought of it as such from it’s conception. He’s always said that if people buy an iPod and experience the Apple difference that they’re likely to branch out and possibly buy an iPhone, maybe even a Mac.

Did you see Apple’s stock today? It’s safe to say his plan is working. Apple’s Mac computer business is tearing through industry growth rates. Apple sold 2.16 million Mac’s last quarter, a 34% increase from this time last year and over double the rate of PC growth of 15.5%. The October 26th release of OS X Leopard can only push this even further.

The iPhone is in the hands of over 1.4 million people less than 5 months after it’s introduction. It took the iPod over two years to see that kind of reception. Do you see the snowball effect happening?

Is this a historical take over in progress? Is the stock going to continue to climb or is it poised for a minor pullback? Any YGG’s out there currently invested in AAPL? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Clinton’s plan to over-populate the U.S.

Hillary Clinton’s big idea for the week is to give every U.S. baby a $5,000 “baby bond” the day they are born. The idea is to have it pay for future college tuition or buying a home.

She says it will help Americans get back into the swing of “savings”. I think it will get Americans back into the swing of abusing government funds. We all know there’s enough of that going on already.

I’m interested to hear your thoughts on this. Spill it in the comments.

We love mint

For those of you who that payed attention to TechCrunch 20 40, mint needs no introduction. mint walked away with the $50,000 prize and a boat load of publicity producing enough traffic to make their servers beg for mercy. With everything back up and running, I signed up for an account and gave it a test run. Despite all the buzz and hype I have to say I’m still very impressed.

Squeezing fitness into your busy schedule

Let me first start by saying the title is not squeezing “exercise” into your busy schedule. Exercise is over stated, overall fitness is not. Being fit and healthy is more about your diet than it is about your workout routine. Getting in shape and losing a little weight (if that’s what you’re trying to do) is actually very, very easy.

You’re already going to eat, so if you can teach yourself to eat right that’s half the battle. Here are some basic eating tips that if stuck to will clean out your body in no time
