It definitely makes me feel silly for blasting Apple for not making the products *I* want. I can't fault them when it seems they have a license to print their own money.
All-in-one desktops just suck so damn much....

Apple is spending more on air freight in order to get "non iPhone products" into the holiday season.
It is being called "abnormal".
New iMac's tomorrow!

Give that a second thought, BT, and then a third one. Apple's performance is great but you should diversify. I've sold 250 shares of apple in the past couple weeks, at around 187-188, because it had grown to considerably more than 10% of my investments. Sure it's hard on me to see it bump to over 200 in after market trading today. But you have to have some investment principles. Mine is to not have more than 10% in any holding. I'll sell a little more over the next week or so to get down to 10%.
Apple wouldn't be the first stock to lose half its value independent of movements in the general market. Heck, i'll bet there are some examples of that just in the past several years with aapl. I MAY lose out on some gains, but I'll DEFINITELY avoid the risk of greater losses should the unforeseen happen.
It's fun investing in a company we care so much about. Don't put the company in a position where it can devastate you.
The "laptop on a stick" schtick is getting old. My 24" iMac is the ideal computer for my needs, "laptop on a stick" or not. You concern yourself with things that most consumers do not, hence Apple's continued success despite the naysayers' gripes.
I'm not trying to brag, but I'm excited to the point of having to share this with someone: back in January, I bought a VERY large block of shares when AAPL was at $80. I did this, because to me, the market had clearly gone too far in the sell-off in regards to AAPL. Best stock decision I've ever made...

Falling desktop sales are not an Apple phenomenon. Industry wide, laptop sales grew 10% while desktops fell by 23%.
Quite true, netbook share gains are ridiculous right now too.
Which is nice for the seller but you end up being unable to hold onto an iMac. It was never good enough in the first place.
No, but at some point you have to spend it or give the money back to investors. It’s their money. Apple has cash reserves that are of similar amounts to Microsoft, a company that’s nearly 40% more its size.
Apple is not a bank.
A reasonable assumption. Guess we'll know in less than a day's time. (Especially based on that banter at the end...?)
I can't believe no one explicitly asked if Apple has any new products coming before Christmas.
(With that said, I would not be at all surprised to see new iMacs tomorrow. They iMac is in need of a refresh, the new CPUs should be available by now, and if they don't release within the next couple of weeks, Apple will have to wait until at least mid January at which time they will be way overdue.)

Of course. I bought four of them in the last year, the last being my MBP back in September.
Why do I get the feeling that you are the type that must upgrade the second that new graphics card comes out.
"We don't comment on unreleased products." Everyone knows the answer so why waste the question?
I'm rushing to do so right now.
How about no. My most recent upgrade was moving from a Q6600 to a Core i5 750 on my desktop. My MacBook will have to be pried from my cold dead hands because it runs the ever so perfect 10.5 Leopard.
