The Latest from Apple
Apple seems to take a certain pride in defying expectations, and this week was no exception. The company blew the doors off of Wall Street's projections, turning in a highly profitable quarter with both iPhones and Macs flying off the shelves, despite difficult economic conditions and their refusal to release an inexpensive computer to compete with the plethora of sub-$500 PCs such as netbooks. Even as Windows 7 is coming out to good reviews, Apple appears to show no signs of slowing down. It's full steam ahead in Cupertino.
