TechCrunch posted:

Apple just announced its Q1 2012 results, and the company booked a $13.06 billion profit on $46.33 billion in revenue, marking the biggest quarter in company history — well over 50 percent larger than its previous record in Q3 2011. Apple sold an astonishing 37.04 million iPhones, 15.43 million iPads and 5.3 million Macs during the quarter, which represent increases of 128 percent, 111 percent, and 26 percent from last year. That's two million more smartphones sold than Samsung shipped last quarter, which is astonishing.

iPod sales were down 21 percent to 15.4 million, continuing their slow decline. International sales accounted for 58 percent of the quarter's results. It's an absolute monster of a quarter — handily beating analyst estimates and offering a sharp rebuttal to earnings that missed estimates last quarter.

No matter what you think about Apple you have to admit they are exceedingly good at extracting money from their followers.


Apple gives even Scientology a run for its money in that department.

So Apple, a company that uses slave and child labor makes 13 billion in profit = good.

Oil companies make around the same profit and fill our state/federal coffers will billions in revenue from gas taxes alone = all that is evil in the world.


Some things never get old.

How much of our tax money did Uncle Sam spend propping up Apple?

You obviously mean the consumer fills the coffers with tax dollars.

Unfortunately apple shareholders will never see any of this money. The next apple CEO will try very hard to lose it all....and eventually, he will succeed.
