Again, look up your terminology there Mr. Know It All.
Sheeez...do you have anything remotely intellectual to contribute to this thread?...or just broad assumptions and running around like a 12 year old wacked out of his brain on Pixie Stix stating Apple is your god? Seriously.
That is normal. It is the big dogs shaking out all the little Joe Six pack investors to get scared and sell so they can buy it cheap and make more money.
They would be better classified as a Electronics company (for the same reason why Sony isn't an IT company either).

From what I've seen, Verizon customers were screaming for a decent smartphone (hence the good Droid sales). If Apple have any Verizon related iPhone announcements up their sleeves, the iPhone should see a nice bump in the U.S.

They could buy MS, trash it and make the world a little happier to us all
I like your kind of thinking.

All they need to buy Microsoft is $220 billion more (give or take, based on hostile takeover). Piece of cake...
Ditto on that. Always happens.
After market folks are selling for profit and causing the price to go down. Happens every quarter.
8.7M iPhones in one quarter? Unbelievable. And that doesn't even include iPod Touches. Despite complaints about developers' products being buried in a sea of apps, it still sounds like a very good time to be an iPhone developer. Does anyone know how many total iPhones are out there now, and how many of those are actually active?
And now they're socking away something like $10B per year in profit? It won't be that long before they can actually afford their own wireless network...

Oh? I didn't know a smaller company could buy a larger company and put it out of business. I guess that means Kia has a good shot of putting BMW out of business then.
So check Apple's built-in dictionary and let me know, genius...Apple indeed rules the roost.
MS IS DEAD.
I am now even more excited for the Tablet press release this week...and to also see if Macs will break the 10% computer marketshare barrier. I would love to get another Mac, but kinda holding out for a non-Mini sub $1000 desktop that I can beef up and alter over time if needed.

Seems iPhone sales helped after all, missed or not.
Wow, you like monopolies when it's Apple? lol Ah, the hypocrisy of fanboys. I think I live to hold you guys accountable for your repulsive behaviour.
No. Macs, iPods and iPhones are all computers, not to mention OS X as a system; therefore, Apple is overwhelmingly an IT company.
Apple Stock is down in After hours trading!!!
Why is it that after a great numbers announcement Apples stock always takes a tumble. :eek Guidance is good, new products in the pipe.. WHAT the heck?!! Apples stock going down! NOT right. :
I just do not get it... I have watched this for years and it never fails!

Monopolies themselves aren't the problem.

Monopolies are NOT illegal when they arise from innovation and legitimate growth...sorry to burst your bubble.
Again...you're speaking in generalities in your entire post/reply. Have some more Pixie Stix. Let us know when you can reply in a meaningful way that is truly a debate.
As a "Joe Six pack investor," I hate the stock market. AAPL has done well for me (though I only put in $5k way back then - silly me), but the roller coaster ride over the years has been most unenjoyable. And the market manipulation by the big players is infuriating (refer to the big drop last Friday and its cause).
A friend called me a couple of days ago and asked if he should buy some AAPL. I told him, "You don't have the stomach for it."
