So basically Apple spent 2.35 Billion, made their money back, plus an extra 106 million. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through for 106 million. I mean, that’s probably how much lose change is rolling around in Bill Gates’ couch.
As Steve Jobs said in the BusinessWeek interview, Apple is NOT about being the biggest or making the most money. Apple is about making great products and as long as they can continue to do that, everyone is happy.
The Q4 results show that Apple will have the ability to continue making great products, and THAT is what is truly important (regardless of how much loose change Bill Gates has)
That’s 2.35 billion in revenue, theloniusMac.
not exactly wasted effort if a lot was spent on R&D that will boost profits for the next quarter
Apple should make hard liquor, and call it Apple Sauce. Or iHurl. Damn… I need a beer.
OMIGOD
Theoloniusmac,
You think Apple employees work for free? Geeze. Everyone else on the planet things these are good numbers. Go take an economics class.
Theolonius…you had a billion active brain cells and just used up half those thinking about your post. It wasn’t worth that effort

Those figures are just not worth releasing.
Even Eminem does better. Apple are soo smart they get sued by him. Still, all you mac lusers still have the big ego of supporting Apple with loyalty. Take Apples advice, think different!
My AAPL portfolio looks really nice.

Troppah: some are happy with roasted peanuts, others need a roasted pig ! And still complain..
It is the creation of new momentum that makes it a fabulous result for Apple with only (!) 56 000 iMacs delivered…
