Comments on: Apple earnings jump on Mac sales

Apple delights investors with a blowout quarter, surpassing Wall Street expectations for both revenue and earnings on the strength of a 51 percent jump in Mac sales.

Yeay!!!

I hope it gets better and better for Apple. I hope one day soon, Apple will crush Microshaft (before M$ sink themselves)!

Not so fast there...

I'm a big Apple fan too but I DON'T want to see them overtake
Microsoft. I like them just the way they are, the innovators
everybody else wants to copy. If they get too big or control too
much of the market or industry (like Microsoft) it's not good. Big
usually means slower to respond to market changes, resistance
to innovation, less customer service, focus on the bottom line
instead of the future.

What really scares me is what happens to the company when
Steve Jobs is out of the picture.

LOL!

Silly apply fanboys. Microsoft has and will always be better than apple! Microsoft is the true innovators and apple is just lame. Microsoft will always dominate apple...ALWAYS! Go ahead and attack me cause you know i'm right. HA!

Hey, laughing boy!

Apple has nearly as much cash in the bank right now as MSFT does. While MSFT is busy blaming piracy for its crap performance this quarter, Apple has doubled their customer base over the past 12 months.
