You have to be kidding me..
Here are some numbers:
Revenue US$ 148.944 billion
Profit US$ 12.059 billion (2011)
Total assets US$ 135.131 billion (2011)
Total equity US$ 84.744 billion
So if we consider the worst case scenario in that apple leaves taking say 9 billion and no new business is generated...
148.944 - 8 = 140.944 or a 5% loss....
Considering that after paying all the bills they had 12 billion left over i really doubt it will destroy the company.. its important to note that "semiconductors" are needed in every single electronic device we use today. There are plenty more fish who need parts.
Conclusion: Apple sucks as they always have and always will.....
Easy, look at the page info, youll see the media. For example here is one of the images:

just keep incrementing the second 1 and you'll get different pieces, I am not sure how to grab them all.
ex. http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/1n3w.png - get ya another piece.
Bad news is that its quite big:
var size=[14,48,25,33];

I could not agree with your statement more. There was a really bad movie that had a really great scene which depicted our problem the movie was called Idiocracy. Check out the scene with the football player and the rich people. I cannot understand why people who have little to no money keep on popping kids out. Then fail to properly provide and allow the cycle to continue.
Were on vacation recently to Belize where you have to pay for school from elementary all the way through. The people have little to no money yet our tour guide was proud of his 7 kids. Yet he admitted that he could not afford to put most of them through school. WTH?
