Mind boggling amount of money

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16712089

When I saw the headline I thought, 'wow' and then I saw it was for a quarter, not a year!!!

You could buy a country with that kind of money.

How about they lower some of their prices to make their products more affordable, greedy sods.

Yes, they have more operating cash than the US government: http://articles.businessinsider.com/...e-debt-ceiling

They've got people locked into a mindset of replacing their expensive products with slightly improved versions of the same product a year or two down the line. Ca-ching!

A bit of a long shot, but if they own an early nano it might be worth checking this out:

A couple of friends owned first gen ones, and their serial numbers were on the list, so they got sent new 6th generation ones for free.

Cheers I didn't know about that !
Thank you.

Your request has been submitted.

Apple will send you a box with shipping instructions to mail your iPod nano to us. Apple will then send you a replacement iPod.

The facts are incredible. Their profit for the quarter was greater than Google's revenue for the quarter. Their gross margin is around 45%!

Thanks for the 1st gen Nano call newguy, I think I've got one rattling around somewhere...
