Google is a false prophet hiding behind the veil of their "don't be evil" mantra. Google is the real evil corporation but these geeks are too blind to see it. Now they know what these guys at Google are up to.

Android is growing fast because its on every crappy free/buy one get one smartphones that are basically used as a glorified feature phone, NOT because its good.

@clarky07 exactly. Apple's PE is unbeleivably low. if you put Apple on the same PE multiple it traded on in 2006, Apple's market cap would be $1 Trillion. Why Apple might just be the first $1 trillion company http://blogs.reuters.com/colum

these "estimates" are artificially inflated by hedge funds with short positions in AAPL. AAPL didn't lie. they're just conservative.
