I never would bother to check the current share price of AAPL... so there's of evidence that having it occasionally engenders some casual conversation along the lines of "What's up with AAPL today?"
I also get that it's a pain to maintain if the API to pull it constantly changes.
As an alternative can we have a value displayed there that's arbitrary and could be set by a number of users inputting the same thing? A community barometric number, if you will... maybe by posting an update on a specific, hidden thread you have to know about to set?
It wouldn't be any less random or accurate than the price of AAPL!
