As we now know from The John Stewart interview with Jim Cramer, most of the above article could be outright lies. Hello, SEC? Anybody home?

"cynik must work for the finance industry if he’s writing code that he has no idea what it does."

I know what it does. I just don't know how it works. Or, i forget.

But it does work. I mean, it isn't pretty, and it wouldn't really surprise me if it crashed in a heap, but it seems to work ok.

People who think programing is an exact science are so deluded. There are so many ghosts in the machine, and so much is worked out on the fly.

And yes, I do write financial apps. Don't dis me, or I'll hunt down your credit card and send you to the poorhouse!

"He correctly predicted the release of new desktop Macs this month, but he also said that they would be unveiled two months earlier at Macworld."

His predictions didn't come true. No new Mac at Macworld, and last month Wu stated that the iMac would be refreshed in June, "at the earliest."

Marketwatch, Feb. 24, 2009: "Wu said Apple's Mac business looks weak in the current quarter, and he isn't expecting the line of iMacs to be refreshed until June, at the earliest."

Amazing! Robbie from Vegas remembered an article PED wrote from last April when he pointed out that Shaw Wu is having a hard time figuring out Apple's deferred revenues on the iPhone and AppleTV.

"AAPL's accounting treatment of iPhone and Apple TV revenue where hardware revenue is amortized over 2 years or 8 quarters remains somewhat confusing and is unprecedented" – Shaw Wu, April 2008.
