When did Tom's hardware become Apple hardware?

 

[geekapproved]

Tom's Hardware is a technology website, which includes apple computers and phones....duh.

If MS was in the same situation they woulda reported it. Just an interesting tidbit, that's all

My point

Your head

I don't need 2-3 news articles about Apple every day.

Just proves how much they're cheating their producers' employees and their customers. You'd think they'd be able to pay their production employees (you know, the ones that work for Foxconn) a bit more than $3.00/hr, or at least give them decent living quarters.

Overall, MS is not doing too bad for a company that makes its money mostly from software(i said mostly, not all ).

Who was it that said that slavery was not profitable? The were obviously wrong.

 

[Guest]

That's awesome!!! Now pay your factory workers you assholes.

 

[kcorp2003]

at the end of the day. no matter how much we don't like them. its still an american company 😉 so woot?

 

[panders4]

Yeah, their stock value is bloated. Even with their bloated profits from overpriced products and underpaid workers, the diluted EPS was lower than Google. People just throw their money away.

To show there gratitude of good fortune Apple had Foxconn remove the anti suicide nets for the necessary blood sacrifices to appease the Gods

No matter how much people hate Apple for whatever reasons, nobody can deny they are doing pretty darn good for themselves...

I think I speak for everyone here when I say I would be happy with 0.01% of what Apple is worth.

wow... all apple makes is a phone and a tablet right? their pc department is so pathetic it almost went out of existence at one point... right... o yea they are technically a game publisher, and music distrubiter and make 30 cents a song about...

yea, i can see apple being woth that much considering why many devices are out there and they all make proffit, and they sell music an that makes more profit, and all that other crap.

 

[xerroz]

And is more useless than either of those by a factor of over 10

 

[ajay_vishvanathan]

Apple > Google + M$
is it at suing others in various courts?? 😵

 

[Pinhedd]

Microsoft's market cap reached nearly 600 billion in the year 2000

This is about market shares, not their products. Lol.

I can't see them slowing down any time soon. There is simply no single company that has anything that can stop them. Microsoft's Windows 8 is simply too late and will cost too much, corporate America is going to pass on Windows tablets. Samsung has the best chance, but doesn't make any of the software they put on their devices, it's the opposite problem that Microsoft has. Google's Android was doing well until the iPhone came to Sprint, now the boring iPhone 4S is the number one selling Smart phone. What's gonna happen when they ship the iPhone 5? It's gonna be crazy!! Developers are buying Macs by the metric $H^#-ton to produce a new wave of mobile apps for the iPad.

I think that Apple is at the beginning of a Dynasty that will last at least as long as the Microsoft dynasty that preceded it. I'll have to keep reading all silly posts on this site, it's gonna be fun.

If I understood the article correctly it is about the value of Apple stock. I wonder what Apple's actual gross and net revenue was for 2011.

Never mind! Google is my friend:

"For the 2011 fiscal year, Apple reported revenue of $108.25 billion and net profit of $25.92 billion"

It would be great if Foxconn employes got $3.00/hr. What they actually get is more like 4-6 bucks per day. And you know they don't just work 8 hours...

 

[daweman]

Pretty ridiculous considering they encouraged everybody to 'break free from conformity' in 1984

 

[stingstang]

So...Apple is worth more than Sweden... Let's buy them!!!

 

[SmileyTPB1]

Just think how much they would be worth if they didn't spend so much on lawyers and lawsuits.

"By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" No, but the apple of man is gathered from human suffering. Still the masses are blinded, refusing to acknowledge the truth before their eye's.

The greatest trick the devil ever achieved was convincing man he doesn't exist.
