Then why isn’t Samsung the most profitable company in the history of human civilization? That is, if they are better than Apple, as you attest.

I have a Note 4. Great phone. I don't give a rat's ass about how Samsung does in business. Why does anybody care about Apple? If you're a stockholder, be realistic. Make your decisions based on what the greater fools are willing to pay for the Fed greased Apple financial paper. I don't get all of this autistic fanboyism. It's creepy. Really creepy.

Everybody is calling the Apple Watch a failure but we have not even seen the product brought to market yet. Meanwhile, Apple is coming off it's most profitable quarter ever - in fact, the most profitable quarter any company has ever had.

I'm thinking there will be some surprises with the Apple Watch.

We will know for sure in a few more weeks.

What I find so ironically amusing about the fact that Apple is now the most profitable company on the planet is that most liberals have been pointing to Apple for years as a "progressive" company with liberal values. These same people would rail against the "evil capitalist" oil companies who only care about profit.

Well now Apple has even outdone the hated oil companies and despite their enormous success, they have not dropped their prices one iota (nor should they). There are no discounts for the poor and disadvantaged. So anybody wanting one of their devices is going to have to pony up the full price.

You don't see many welfare bums toting around iPhones and MacBook Pro's. That's because, as generous as we are with doling out welfare, it's still not enough for the underclass to get Apple gear - unless they run a drug or prostitution business on the side.

So in essence, Apple is the epitome of the "cold, heartless, profit-driven" company with an insatiable desire to flood the planet with their goods and services at a premium price. And many of us conservatives and share holders love them for it.
