Poor Bastards! LOL
All the way to the bank.
Its good to see an American company doing well for a change.
These numbers give me a headache. What makes me sick is that for the most part 95% of those people are democrats. Al Gore is getting richer by the moment (on Apple’s Board).
Try to make your next joke less obscure or at least funny... aren’t joke supposed to BE funny?
Anyone can or could have bought Apple stock when it was less than $35 just a few years ago.
This isn’t about Liberals, this IS Capitalism!
Except they have the entire liberal media behind them promoting everything they do as the best, when there are sometimes better or equal alternatives. Without all the democrat media power at the top pushing them every waking minute, they wouldn’t be as successful.
Did you suffer from a traumatic head injury.... or have you always been stupid?
I own Apple products and I’m not a homo. I own Apple products because I like the products and the incredible customer service. I own Apple products because I can afford them.
It is all too often the case, that when one makes such a baseless allegation, the person making the allegation is, in reality, preoccupied with their own fantasy, dreams and curiosity about their own confused sexual identity.
Humblegunner, how long have YOU been gay? Are we the first to know? Do you believe you were born this way or did you simply decide that you liked boy parts better than girl parts?
Do you like Gladiator movies? My money says that you do.
Cafe Press could make you a shirt that says that.
Then you could convince everyone!
So, Apple is a liberal conspiracy? One that Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, and Karl Rove also buy into? RIGHT. OK.
Did it ever occur to you, Code, that it is just possible that Apple products ARE better?
Hate to tell you, but the Dems are thick in Microsoft-land as well...
Please Humblegunless, don’t feel bad and lash out with insults. You are among friends.
We don’t agree with your twisted sexual preference and many of us think that your behavior is gross, but we know of the gental kindness that you show everyone has value.
Yes, Humblegunless, we love you anyway. We just hope that you will someday change your mind and go back to liking girls.
Did it take you long to get used to feeling hairy legs of another man against you in bed at night? Look, you don’t have to stay gay... YOU CANGE CHANGE.
