Apple just announced its recent quarterly numbers, which, as expected, made big news.
The San Francisco Business Times ran this headline:
Apple Inc. sales of $54 billion and profit of $13 billion both break records
The Silicon Valley Business Journal ran this headline:
Apple’s flat earnings beat Street, but outlook drops stock
The numbers behind the story behind the headlines: Apple’s record breaking profits in the quarter ended December 29, 2013 were $13.078 Billion — not too shabby. But when you compare them with year earlier numbers — $13.064 Billion, you can see that they did break records, but at Apple’s size, that’s not much difference.
Oh, and both of these fine newspapers, which are located a short distance from one-another, are owned by the same publishing company.
I don’t think that’s what the Cupertino computer company meant by “Think Different”.
