G+_Rock Westfahl Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It is really staggering. I love my iDevices but this is almost scary. One company has nearly 200,000,000,000 dollars in the bank. If I were a shareholder, I believe I would be demanding a hefty dividend. And if I were an Apple employee I would expect a REALLY good bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Apple R&D is one of the biggest on the world and they just shipped 75million iPads in 3 moths their supply chain is pretty incredible as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I am thinking making sure the workers in the supply chain are paid better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Joe Loschiavo Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The comparison of Apple and IBM is really ironic. Everything I remember about IBM in the 50's and 60's can be used to describe Apple now. IBM culture...white shirts-skinny ties was the black turtleneck and jeans of the day. Devoted workers, large company centric campuses. IBM Leasing equipment was the equivalent of the Apple hardware updates with different connectors, ports, etc. Apple does it better with huge profit margins being combined with huge numbers shipped. ?
