I'm not picking a fight here, but frankly on that issue, I side with the Mod. This and similar articles are FR chat, not FR news (which should be conservative interests: political, social, financial, even philosophical, but not day-to-day business fortunes of a particular company). I would hate to see FR news threads double, with fans of every company posting about the stuff that matters to them... and not so much to everyone else. So IMHO Apple business news is not FR news, it's FR chat, even if it rates as "news" in other venues.
As one who has Apple gear and likes it a lot, I'm of course interested in their fate -- I want them to stick around. I'm very happy they're doing well, since it means my MacMini and iDevices will continue to get legendary Apple service. Indeed, I wish very much that Microsoft and Fujitsu and Samsung and Dell and the other manufacturers of my other gear had as bright a future as Apple's. *sigh* But I don't care about every twist and turn as they continue their meteoric rise. I have no Apple stock, so what their stock does, or what their valuation is, doesn't affect me except very indirectly.
I vote for keeping Apple threads in FR chat, unless for some reason the company does something that falls into political, social, or other "core conservative" areas, where it's clearly news of likely interest to a majority of FR members.
The only time it might belong in FR News would be if Obambi or Congress did something effecting Apple and Taxes that has an overall impact on the country. Then, and only then, would I post it in FR News. All others go in FR Chat.
For example when Tim Cook appeared before the US Senate to testify on Taxes, and the overall impact the tax structure had on US Business, that was NEWS. . . and rightfully belonged in FR News, not FR Chat. . . and that's where I Posted it.
