NYSE In Dire Need Of iPads, Some Floor Brokers Unable To Log In To Handheld Devices

We know it blends. The real question: is there an app for GETCO's DMMs to "see" the order flow ahead of everyone else? Time for an iPad push on the floor?

Classic.  Market opens down and the NYSE has technical problems.

Have we ever heard of order flow or matching issues on an up day in over a year?

That's not a rhetorical question. Has it happened at any point since the market crashes in late 2008? Anyone? Bueller?

What a waste.  I thought the link you posted might address the question you posed.

It was only a stupid video of Ferris Bueller's day off.

Thanks for wasting 30 seconds of my day, even though I'm sure that I'll waste more than that myself.  LOL!

Ya, i used to get excited when i saw a youtube link posted here on ZH, thought perhaps it links to something relevant on the discussion at hand. Most of the times its just arcane 70s tv shows where i have no idea whats going on and what the significance is.

Can't use the iPad, as even the business end of Apple stores use a Windows-based OS for transactions. Next time you visit an Apple store ask them what OS they are using for their hand-held order processing devices.

They use iphones now, at least they do where I am.  They built a new app -- but you are correct that the handhelds they used to use probably ran windows.

Ahh ok. In January this year they were still using Win OS. Thanks for the update. How does the iPhone handle credit card 'swiping' at POS on the sales floor?

NYSE = NASCAR?

Pierre Debris is on the track, I believe.  (Look up history of NASCAR if you're curious what this means.)

How hard are you fucked?  There's an app for that.

LOL that the Apple stores use Windows based POS systems.

That's the funniest thing I've read all day about a company that claims to have superior software.

I guess that garageband and Safari can't make Apple money...
