No doubt some of you already use it. Downloaded it (free at ITunes) after the Yahoo folk in effort to improve site forgot to post the 3 major indexes. Anyhow, if you have IPAD by all means check out it out. When you hit "markets", about 40 world stock markets pop right up and easy to scroll with IPad. Seem to update every few minutes. Currencies and commodities too.
Reply to @catch22: Funny you should mention "over-stimulation" as not 10 minutes ago a fancy new coffee maker from Amazon (MFO link of course) was dropped off at our door step. Yep, the blower is primed and ready.
Still using an older Mr. Coffee type.........but, caffine is caffine, eh?
Your note about the app for Ipad, and I know they having been pushing this on Bloomberg; continues to remind me of the enormous changes in technology, of which; is my area of work. I recall tech work for a contractor 1971, out in the very middle of nowhere land; and that I had become a good friend of the director of the satellite facility. He would arrange/schedule on Saturdays my use of the satellite phone link so that I could call my family and/or friends. This was in the period of non-stationary satellities and my talk time window was about 16 minutes long. A few minutes of time was gone at the start with having to link through 3 phone operators at 3 different locations in the U.S. But, still a most amazing event in 1971 for global communications. My oh my..........the changes.
NOTE: not that you don't know, but I find Midday with Tom Keene on Bloomberg to be one of the best informational financial programs currently on the tube.
