You are boring. While it has been awhile since McDs has been caught using meat other than beef, it is not urban legend that they have used Horse and Kangaroo meat in the past. Now that beef is getting so expensive I am sure they will get caught again.

Just stating facts. McDonalds has been known to use multiple sources of meat in the past and lied about it. No bias here.

You must be a corporate imbecile of McDonalds stuffing a propaganda machine. What is the standard patty. Horse, Cow or Kangaroo meat?
Sentiment: Strong Sell

Nope.

You are not convincing anybody. I have also eaten at McDonalds for many, many years. I even remember when McDonalds was advertising 100% pure beef when they were serving Kangaroo and Horse meat. I have no bias other than the burgers are smaller now then they used to be. I don't know. Maybe they are using higher fat content meat which results in a smaller burger after cooking.

I don't know where you buy your McDouble, but the hamburger patties are 1/2 as thick as they used to be. This is true for the hamburger, cheeseburger and Big Mac. So you are not really comparing Apples to Apples. The only sandwich that is the same is the Quarter Pounder for obvious reasons. Even the Filet-O-Fish is different. You notice, you only get a 1/2 a slice of cheese on it when it used to be a full slice. Wake up. You are being scammed.

I used to be addicted to the Big Mac, but all the advertising in the world will never convince me to pay nearly $4 for a Big Mac. Let see, I can get a much larger Super Star with Cheese or a Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Carl's Jr for the same price. No comparison. The price on the Filet-O-Fish is even more ridiculous. McD's is no longer even close to being competitive for these menu items on price in our bad economy and the stupid management is still clueless why their sales are down. The only smart thing they have done is a past 2 years was bring their price on their Chicken McNuggets back to earth. When I do go to McDonalds I get either the 20 piece McNuggets for $4.99 or a McChicken from the dollar menu. Most everything else other than the $1 drink is overpriced including the paper thin meat in the McDouble.

I guess the post could of been clearer. I meant all Mac computers, but I was using the 15" Retina Macbook Pro as an example of what Apple is doing wrong. The lower-end Mac computers have thin margins so they don't factor into Apple's profit as much as the high-end computers. It should be noted, I have two 17" Macbook Pros with 512MB SSDs, 8GB Ram and removable batteries that are 5 years old and I still have no reason to upgrade. Don't get me wrong. I love Apple products, but they are killing their computer lines with a lack of good innovation which they were known for in the past. Non-removal batteries and non-removable SSDs is not innovation.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

Well you would be in the minority. Not to many people have $7000 to by computer equipment with a built-in life of 3-5 years when the battery fails and cannot be replaced and no upgrade options.

Apple sagging stock price combined with news like this pretty much confirms the news as accurate. The stock prices normally leads the news.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

You are ignorant. You need to check the latest news. Apple has stopped buying components from their suppliers because they can't sell their current computer inventory.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

Nobody with any sense is going to buy a Macbook Pro for $3000 with a non-replaceable battery and a non-upgradable solid state hard drive. I have been short AAPL ever since they turned the Macbook Pro into an oversized iPad.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

This company will file for BK before the end of the year.
