iPhone 5 again

After iPhone 5 demo last week there were some skeptical reviews and comments about the phone itself and about Apple.

Despite of any reviews the iPhone 5 was sold out moments after it became available for pre-ordering and Apple shares are growing to records high:

A good example from the history is a story about Julius Caesar capabilities in that area. Plutarch writes, “Caesar disciplined himself so far as to be able to dictate letters from on horseback, and to give directi...
