If you stack every single dollar bill in Apple’s $US97 billion cash reserves, you would reach 10594km into space. That’s about 32 times the altitude of the International Space Station. It would look pretty much like this.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 8:14 AMWhy do people make such silly comparisons. The cash does exist in physical paper format. It’s probably held by banks (who are facing a hell of a time) in book form, who are intern holding it in the fed reserve in electronic form. It’s just a number.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 9:02 AMOf course, the way Apple got to have a huge pile of money is by charging customers more than they really needed to. I find it fascinating how sheeple can get so excited about being ripped off. If it was Microsoft or a car company or pretty much anyone else, everyone would be crying foul and demanding they lower their prices. It is bizarre.

I think it’s more, “as much as they thought consumers will pay”. turns out that they were wrong and consumers may off actually paid more than what they sell their products for now.
Please don’t argue apple is charging way too much for their products just because you’re a apple-hater. the evidence shows apple charge what is right and that is why they are so profitable. maybe your beloved high-end android phones should be priced cheaper…
