Congrats to Keolis/MBTA: I restored my iPhone from backup and I got my the proper number of commuter rail phone tickets back!

Gosh darn it — I always forget that when I reset my phone contents, I lose my MBTA commuter rail tickets in the app.

Am amazed how many commuters think that riding in the quiet car doesn’t mean turning their phone ringers and alert sounds off.

Just upgraded my 3yr old Macbook Pro retina to 1TB SSD. It’s still a fabulous machine.

Taylor Swift’s explanation for the market’s decline is as good as any Wall St. analyst’s: “Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate….”

Apple should pay Taylor Swift to play “Shake It Off” on Wall St. trading room floors today. Seems to be working for $AAPL stock midday.

Only fair: “The oil industry has needed [subsidies] for 100 years, so I think solar should have them for 100 years.” fb.me/1YvbI0MLA

OK, some traders just woke up and said, “Wait a minute, this is the US stock market we’re trading on. It’s valued in dollars.”

Interesting comparing brokerage Web responsiveness during Wall St. meltdown. Fidelity is working fine, Merrill Lynch is moribund.
