Profits being down are not a result of selling "cheap crap". My thoughts are similar to Sesshi's … you didn't read that article correctly.
 
lol. Same thing IMO. If you feel differently, ok. No big deal. I just found it very interesting that their profits were down so far. Can we get back on that? lol
 
Sure, how is it interesting that their profits are down? What did you really take from the article as a whole (not just the title)?
 
The economy is in a state of recession, or so we are told. Theoretically, it should be Apple who's profits are down, with their huge margins, and extremely high prices. Yet, it is Dell who fell short of projections, by a large amount. It doesn't seem to make sense to me...
 
I think you have your facts wrong.

That's very possible. That is what I read, but I will research it more. Do you have/know where I could find the figures?

I see it on the Apple site, and the number referenced is the one I quoted, but it says it is Revenue. Not knowing a whole lot about financial reports, how different is that than profits?
 
considering Apple posted $10.17 BILLION in profits.

As an APPL stockholder, this gave me quite the stiffie. If only it wasn't pulled out of your arse. :D

You have quite a bit of research to do if you don't know the difference between revenue and profits.
