  2. Apple CEO Tim Cook said iPhone 5c demand was "different than we thought."

  5. Legendary VC Tom Perkins explained, clarified, apologized for, and then stood by his controversial letter where he said that people who criticize the rich were behaving like the Nazis did toward the Jews in World War II.
