It is amazing to think that this company was on the brink of death not too long ago and now is one of the best run companies in the world.

Sitting on over $40 billion in cash and assets and with no debt is pretty dang amazing given where Apple was at 10 years ago. Those billions of cash in the bank and no debt give them a lot of flexibility moving forward, and they just don't seem to be making the mistakes that Microsoft, Sony, HP, etc. are making.

With all that cash it’s a wonder Apple didn’t just buy ARM. I’m betting they were worried about anti-trust issues. Too bad, as one of the founders of ARM, and a current major investor in ARM, it would be a perfect fit given Apple’s mobile concentration.
