With little fanfare, Apple’s newest Wisconsin retail location opened this past weekend at the outdoor Hilldale Shopping Center in Madison. The new 10,000 sq. ft. space replaces Apple’s previous indoor Madison location in the aging West Towne Mall, 10 minutes away.

Apple is expected to unveil the new iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 at a media event on October 15th....

I am hoping Apple does its own fund to help encourage Apps developers and other ecosystem players, such as the Kliener Perkins iFund. The rational side of me thinks a stock buy back/dividend is more likely at the opening of trading on a Monday, however. Update: It looks like the rational side wins....

Most analysts also seem pleased, with Macquarie describing the earnings call as “one of its most bullish in recent memory” – even if Barclays did sound a sour note …...
