Apple’s $13+ billion Profit Quarter

I've been reading a bit about Apple's first quarter earnings call today, and I am just stunned. The numbers and the graphs are all impressive, but it's the real scale that's blowing me away. Here's this (supposedly) niche company that had profits in the first quarter greater than Google's revenue. Amazing. Really.

And in my book, it could not happen to a better company. iBooks Author. The iBooks Textbooks. The hardware, and the tools. Simply amazing. Catering to the creative person in all of us has certainly made them incredibly wealthy. And the stories of what they did for their people, and the citizens of Japan after the earthquake - that's a company that's not just about making a buck.

It's good to see good karma generating good outcomes.
