Embarrassing.
We need to send troops to surround all the apple stores and Steve Jobs house and make them explain how to run a business. Then put all of the members of congress in Apple stores and their employes in congress.
Makes you wonder what kind of tax and regulatory exemptions Apple could win in exchange for a little short term financing.
Obviously we need to confiscate Apple’s cash reserves and add them to the Treasury.
How come Apple, and the rest of the techs don’t get the same treatement by the Progressives that the oil and gas industry does???
Funny story. I had a buddy who was heavily into Dell stock back in the late 90’s. One morning I walked into work and asked him if he heard the news that Dell had a Y2K problem. He immediately grabbed the phone and started dialing his brokers number. I said, “Why 2K for a $500 computer.”
Time to mandate that Apple products lower energy use by 50% - that should punish them enough for a while.

Apple got its money by voluntary payment rather than by forced confiscations like the government.
Is Apple 'sharing the pain'??
I'm thinking, From Apple according to ability, to the U.S. Government according to need. That's the way the dimocrat party wants to do it, right??
Maybe,,, but who’s better pals with the Fed Reserve System?
Gee, I wonder why.
fire all the politicians and get Steve Jobs to run the country

I don’t see this as “embarrassing” at all. It’s good news, the triumph of technology over bureaucracy. Let’s engineer a quick takeover by Apple before it becomes too late, as it was with Borders Books.
1. Taxes will be slightly higher for the iGov, but people will pay willingly because service will be so much better. Each taxpayers will be issued little translucent Apple stickers, which can be proudly attached to your Lexus and worn on your T-short at Starbucks.
2. The capital will be moved to Cupertino, where it belongs.
3. You will be able to renew a passport with one click through the iTines Store. You won’t even have to trek to the big city to get those special-format pictures taken, because iTunes will take a snapshot as part of the application, using the built-in iSight in your MacBook.
4. There will be no more standing in line at the Post Office, which will be replaced with Mobile Me accounts for everyone.
5. The Pentagon can now be abolished, because when we go to war with anyone, we will just file a patent suit against the enemy in Marshall, TX, and declare their assets to be ours.
6. Instead of Social Security, each retired person gets a job at the nearest Genius Bar, with medical benefits.
7. After an initial period of controversy, the SCOTUS will rule that the establishment clause allows Windows users to be married in all states.
Personally, I think the idea of trademarking "appstore" is insane, but given the fantasy world that the drones in Washington live in these days, anything is possible.
Little Johnny’s piggy bank has more cash in it than the United States government.
You can thank Obama and the Democrats.
FIRE the Democrats and hire the Apple geeks!
