First Google, now Apple's crushing it.

That right. I use an IPhone. I'm not afraid to admit I'm a genius. Sure I buy most current model each year because I like to burn through money...and I'm an "early adopter". I can feel your jealousy. Let it go Bozo!

"Today, Apple is proud to report a remarkable, record-breaking quarter, with revenue of $143.8 billion, up 16 percent from a year ago and well above our expectations," CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.
