Lets see the econimy is going down and Apple is selling more? Interesting.

Apple Reports First Quarter Results: “Apple today reported the best quarterly revenue and earning in its history, ’surpassing $10 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever,’ according to Steve Jobs. Announcing results for its fiscal 2009 first quarter, Apple posted record revenue of $10.17 billion and record net quarterly profit of $1.61 billion, or $1.78 per diluted share. During the quarter, Apple sold 2,524,000 Mac computers, a record 22,727,000 iPods, and 4,363,000 iPhones.”
