I guess that if you build a better mouse-trap; the public really will beat a path to your door.

Apple is the ultimate business success story.

They make a product people WANT to buy, and are willing to pay a premium for, manufactured at the cheapest possible price. This is how you create wealth.

That product is extremely popular among the media, who constantly hype it, creating a “must-have” impression. It matters little to them that said product is made-in-China by almost slave workers, they just gotta have it, because it’s “Popular!”.

Apple is the ultimate hypocrisy of the left.

I think one of the keys to Apple's success is that they developer consumer products that people want to buy and they sell those products for considerably more than it costs to produce them. I believe that is what people are talking about when they mention about the "profit margin."

I also notice that Apple products are pretty much the same price no matter where you go. That is to say, if a certain version of the iPad retails in the Apple store for $499, that is the price you are going to pay even if you go to Best Buy or out on Amazon.com.

For some reason, I can get a good deal on the iTunes Gift Cards if I go to the Sam's Club - where I can buy a multi-pack of 4 $25 cards for just $82.64. I always wondered about that. I'm thinking that somebody in charge of prices at the Sam's Club did the math wrong when they tallied up the total of the four cards and I've been taking advantage of it - while it lasts.

Is that $11 a dividend...or a bribe?!

FWIW, that dividend makes me even more leery on AAPL.
