Cloudy U.S. Outlook Keeps December Jobs Expectations in Check
NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Weeks of falling jobless claims data and strengthening private-sector employment trends are fueling expectations for a modest uptick in the government’s December jobs report.

Everyone assumes that Apple is working on iTV or whatever it will be called. It’s in his biography, pundits speak about it — the only question is when will it debut?
I will be hugely surprised if Apple markets a television set. My guess is that it will bring a new device to the marketplace that will offer a Jobsian way to consume video content, play games and interact in the social space. Calling it a TV will probably be pejorative or, at the very least, a misnomer.
That said, I am fascinated by the quote from Steve Jobs’ biography. “It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it,” mostly because

Question by SHH: 401K limit applies if I changed jobs during the calendar year?

Thanks!
