Apple exceeds 1/4 million dollars in sales every minute
On February 5, 2012
It appears money does grow on trees, but only a particular brand of Apple tree. Apple Inc released their Q1 2012 results during the week and they have exceeded all expectations. The results are ahead of revenue predictions from independent analysts by over 7% and a staggering 18% ahead of institutional investors. So just how big is the number – $46.33bn for the quarter.

Decent piece on the very late but still welcome shift in recognising the blindingly obvious. The world has changed since Milton Friedman’s 1970’s simplistic arguments - wow! <dripping cynicism> twitter.com/PaulPolman/sta…

RT @ChristineBohan This last sentence here from Mr Justice Meenan in the Gemma O'Doherty and John Waters judgment reads like a mantra for these times. pic.twitter.com/cDfNuaV34g
