bits.blogs.nytimes.com — It’s official. Apple is the most valuable computer maker in the world. In the wake of the company’s better than expected earnings in the quarter ended September 30th, Apple’s shares rose by nearly 7 percent, making the company’s total market value $162 billion. But what accounts for this success?

Agreed. If Jobs got hit by a truck tomorrow, the stock will take a haircut of at least 20%. I know I would sell all my multi-year longterm holdings as soon as news hits the street.

As a learned, educated, professional and successful sub-sect of society, is it possible we could come together and once and for all agree to end the painful, forehead-slapping discussions regarding Apple's decision to not release OS X for vanilla hardware? Please?

It's easy to give an opinion when it's worth nothing.

Apple success is liked to:Great designGreat Os, software and computer integration (resulting in great stability)Great warranty with applecareOverall you have a computer that never gives up on you and that doesnt look like s**t (like the overclocked stuff people put in a box, attach to a dell plastic monitor, and then call a "pc")

don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but, apple dropped the computer from its name and isn't really a computer company anymore. if u compare the to dell for example they don't sell phones or mp3 players (anymore).
