This Apple Didn't Fall from the Tree..It Rose..

Apple Computer announced earnings today; among the highlights:

-Second Quarter Profits rose a mind-blowing 41%.
-Revenue for the quarter was $4.36 Billion (up 34% from a year ago, though still below the projected $4.54 Billion).

Most impressive (to me anyways) was the fact that iPod Sales totaled $1.7 Billion, while sales for the Mac totaled $1.57 Billion. More than 8.5 Million units of th iPod were shipped during the quarter, which was also up 61% YoY.

It just goes to show that high oil prices still won't deter people from buying the finer things in life. Now, what was the name of that 50 Cent song that I just heard...
