Apple's near $26 billion in profits would place it at number three with Microsoft close behind. The Redmond-based company's $23 billion in profits would be enough to snag it the number four spot. IBM would just make the top 10 list for profits, slipping in at number nine with 15.8 billion, while Intel would just miss out, placing 12th on the list. Google would place at number 18, while HP, which enjoyed 10th place on the list when comparing revenues, would place at number 24."- Now you know exactly who rips you off the most...[/citation]
Evil evil apple... God forbid they make a profit. God forbid they put a product on the market that Samsung, Dell and Toshiba would sell their grandma for...
Sorry to break the news. We are studying Apple in business school. Harvard Business Review has over a dozen articles that use Apple as a positive case. I know, because we are reading them.
They make a good product and it sells - no smoke, no magic.
All the hate on this forum is ridiculous. Some of it is well founded in logic, but a lot of it is just misguided hate.... it reminds me that people love to tear down anything/anyone successful.
