One good news out of 101 bad news. can’t save AAPL from taking. AAPL is going to tank on Tuesday evening. :Sigh!.
I wouldn’t define this as good news. It would be more like neutral news and wouldn’t have any effect to offset the overwhelming bad news about Apple.
It’s just so good though! This is probably the best thing to come out of Nintendo since the Game Boy Advance.
Popular or not, the Poké-zombies look ridiculous stumbling around with their phones held up. On one of my running courses, there’s a place where it’s so bad, I have weave back and forth through the hoard. It’s like I’m the one playing an “avoid the zombie” game!

I feel all warm and fuzzy from your love. 💕💕
Now let’s get back to why you’re obsessed with me and so loathing of yourself…

At least it’s not Angry Birds. I have no idea what made that game so popular.
