This is a crap article, I'm shocked that The Register is not doing homework...

The author of this article must not have had anything better to write. When AT&T announced their activations it was for the first 30 hours. So what? Yeah, the stock did drop then. Big deal, It also popped back up when Apple released it's earnings as well as announcing the 275,000 phones it sold in two days. UNPRECEDENTED!

The continued drop is due to the overall market. The DOW and NASDAQ continue to suffer largely due to the housing market collapse.

But what would I know... I'm only vested long in Apple stock.

Sounds like this author is a day trader trying to manipulate.

SHAME REGISTER!...... SHAME!
