You know we love Henry here. Not only because he wrote a couple of classics, not because he has a great face we don't see enough in movies, not because he has a tatoo on his back the size of Brussels, but because he's articulate, clever, curious, addicted to his neurones showing the way up, dictatorial about where we could go if we were thinking from time to time. His stance might be directed at America first, yes, but at the same time his stance can be read globally: it comments what we are as people and how hollow we can be and his views are definitively very enlightning.

As you may know, Black Friday is the opening of the winter season in the US, and usually shops open at 04:00am, and some even at midnight... lines of people are standing on the street, waiting to get that apparatus they have been dreaming to own for months now...Incidentally, Black Friday is also a 1869 financial crisis where two gold speculators drove the USA to the brink of economic collapse. Rings a bell ?

Apple has never had a better black friday shopping day EVER: 400% above expectations...
