Yes, but they make it up in volume. :-)

"It takes courage to give away $2 billion."

So are you saying pricing is design? :-)

I'm a sucker for complex (and even convoluted) plot-driven TV shows, like
millions of other addicts. For my money though, nothing remotely compares to
Apple's ability to strategize entry into new markets, intro of new products,
management of capital, component prices, inventory, etc. It really is the
best show on earth you get to watch pretty much in weekly episodes. What a
bargain!

It depends.
If it didn't, you'd be out of a job.
