Thought this was worth linking too.....

Intel has blowout quarter as net income skyrockets 875% (@AppleInsider)

To put this in perspective, here is an interesting reader comment I saw regarding that article.......

 

You're joking right?

Without taking stock splits into consideration, that same $22/share doesn't mean anything: he now holds over 1215 TIMES more shares which is equivalent to $26,730 for his original per share investment.

So, where is that perspective you were talking about?

Damn.....I knew I forgot to take something into consideration..... lol

 

Oh wow, why does that article say Intel supplies Macs with processors like it's some sort of suprise or exclusivity... Bottom line THEY PROVIDE MOST COMPUTERS WITH PROCESSORS, NOT JUST MACS

 

Not just computers also.... How about the vast majority of chipsets + video cards.

 

Don't worry, I messed up too (corrected post above) I forgot the last stock split (the most recent one).

Of course, this is assuming he was a young man who bought a $22 Intel stock before May 17, 1973... still no matter what an 1200x increase is still considered - what is the technical term... ah! 'Nice'.

Cheers!

 

BTW, here is a slightly less Apple focussed article:
