I am not surprised that Apple is doing so well for itself, seeing as how it has an immense army of braindead zombie cult followers. Couple that with rip-off prices and anti-competition practices... you get the point

I'm surprised there haven't been any anti-trust suits filed against apple yet...

When you sell products at twice their value, of course your gonna get rich. Soon as people realize they can get products that are just as good from another company for less, they will go downhill.

I guess dollar wise Apple wins on the books, otherwise this article wouldn't makes since. That means to me that we are more dependant on Ipads, Ipods, Iphones, Iwhatever, instead of transportation, heating our home, industrial use, fuel for cargo ships, etc...

Don't make the mistake of confusing YOUR knowledge with that of the average consumer. Their PCs represent a tiny little bit of the Apple revenue pie; the rest comes from gadgetry and the iTunes/App stores that support those gadgets. And while there may be better devices in one aspect or another, Apple has virtually cornered the market by catering to the laziness and lack of intellectual curiosity inherent to consumers.

Invest in schools by donating computers to public schools. Watch sales increase by a factor of 10 as these same brainwashed kids buy overpriced Apple products as college freshman and young adults. Wash, rinse, repeat, win.

No, actually I don't get your point... This is somehow different than the 350 million zombie cult followers called American citizens that fill up their gasoline tanks 4 times a week allowing Exxon to rake in 40 billion in profit a year.

i use car to go to work, and i use oil to burn in winter to keep my house warm. I also use power generator when I'm out of town, camping, i also use propane which come from oil company processing plant to national grid.. (so it make somewhat sense, that Exxon made that much profit since it is use for daily need.) I don't ride on an ipad/ipod, or iphone to work, neither i cook or heat my house with them.

Why of course. Apple is evil and we must not support them.. However, kneeling to the whims of OPEC.. Totally legit.
