..for nine months. And managed to keep it quiet. Now that it's out, Apple Stock has dropped 2%.

So what does this mean for apple? When they gave Steve the boot in the 90's, they almost went under and had to be saved by him. Now that he's sick, will they go belly-up for good in a few years?

and when he says you can't have the squirrels that sort the iphones, he means it. as a consolation prize, however, if you do grab for one you might get a band named after you.

I foresee going under. Without Steve Jobs using his mind control powers to convince people that they should pay more for less, Apple is doomed.
