Fantastic! Apple are even richer
Apple crushes estimates in Q2, reports profit of $11.6 billion on $39.2 billion in revenue
I'm sure the workers in the Chinese factories will be delighted.

So you have no opinion or comment about such a filthy rich company raking in even more obscene levels of cash, given their comparatively dire charity/environmental/workers' rights record?Ah, that's how you fell about them, at least it's clear...

I have, and I think it should be heard every time Apple start trumpeting how rich they are.

I have an opinion, I just choose not to include it on every single thing I post that may mention Apple or any other tech company to be used as comparison... as you do... all the time....
I simply can't be arsed to debate it with you. You're a fanatic, you're weirdness the other week trying to dig up when or where or how I purchased Apple goods over the years was just a bit too creepy for me.
That's all.

I don't think you've ever shared your opinion on Apple's vast wealth. I think it's an important issue and quite right to bring up seeing as you were posting up to tell us how they were even richer now.
As for your weird Apple denial stuff, well, that's too laughable to bother with. And you were proved wrong too. Oh well...

Well don't fucking bring it up then.
And as for "stalking" - I asked you a relevant question about a comment you made. That's what people do in threads.

Way to go on missing the point dude!
But thanks for joining in anyway and keeping the pot on the boil.

I make relevent comments on Apple news articles that may not please everyone, but they're heartfelt and honest. You just jumped in to stir the pot here and tried to turn into a personal thing. Why not argue the actual topic instead, which is, if I'm not mistaken, about Apple's just- announced increased wealth and what they do (and don't) do with it?

thats just it. there are a LOT of companies in the exact same position doing the exact same thing, to the exact same staff, damaging the exact same areas but who you willfully ignore and allow to carry on without question because Apple make more cash so in your eyes they are more evil.
no they fucking arnt, they are just more profitable.
ALL these people / firms are cunts and your choice to ignore everyone elses misdeeds because it doesnt fit into your hatred of one company is a crock of shit and does make you look like fanatic.
allowing every firm involved with Foxconn to get away scott free was one of the biggest cop outs of recent times. it just allowed Apple to go 'look we sent an executive and he's gonna pay some lip service' while every other company laughed up their sleeve and sold a few more netbooks to NYT readers who are incapable of reading Wikipedia.
i've read a lot of your posts on the subject and the impression i've been given is that you care more about bad mouthing Apple than you do about the rights of the Foxconn workers across all the companies production lines.
maybe thats true and maybe its not, but thats the impression i've been given by your own posts. does that bother you?
and before you accuse me of it, NO, i am not sticking up for those smug iPricks, i'm trying to spread the hate around.

That's not true, but the point - which you're woefully missing - is that Apple are the biggest, the richest, the most successful and the most aspirational by far, yet they also have just about the worst philanthropic record of the entire lot.
Yet they rarely attract any criticism because it seems that the tech blogs and consumers are too bedazzled by their shiny shiny technology, yet this is a company who should be leading by example.
Yet whenever I bring it up here, posters here (almost all Apple users) immediately line up to accuse me of 'trolling' just because I'm pointing out some uncomfortable truths.
And that's a disgusting misrepresentation. Shame on you.

Apple talk stupid.
If you want a fridge combined toaster don't go to Apple.
"You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user. We're not going to that party... others might from a defensive point of view." Tim Cook (bad name for the analogy).
Defensive? Arrogant bastard! Obviously the millions that have bought Asus combined products and will buy Asus and others when Win8 is released will no doubt disagree as do these:
"The statements contrast with Intel's vision of the future. The chip maker makes the processors that power Mac computers, but not its tablets and phones.
Intel showed off a prototype laptop that converted into a tablet at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. Earlier this week its PC business chief told the BBC it still believed the concept would prove popular with users of Microsoft's next operating system.
"As touch become more ubiquitous across Ivy Bridge platforms you don't need to carry both devices around," said Kirk Skaugen. With Windows 8 coming you can get the best of a mechanical keyboard, which people are telling us they don't want to give up, but when you want to get into consumption mode and read articles or the newspaper you can switch into tablet mode."
Aside from Editor's reasons I have become to detest Apple for their unbridled arrogance. This holier than holy shit should have died with Jobs but clearly it hasn't.
And finally...a few on Wall Street are none too happy about the percentage shares of Apple. They would rather have 'middle investments' like Microsoft than those soaring to other galaxies. I wonder what they know?
