Yay, Apple

Kevin Maney writes: How much money does Apple have to make before Steve Jobs buys a different color shirt?

Just wondering.

Apple hit it out of the park, saying a little while ago that it beat analysts' estimates for the quarter and had $260 million more in revenue than it expected. That's gotta give Apple money to fund new projects and the confidence to go after them. And -- whaddaya know -- Jobs said while announcing the earnings those words that will have the gossip mill working overtime: "We're busy finishing several more wonderful new products to launch in the coming months."

Personally, I think the nation's interstate highway system needs rethinking. Apple should do iWays!

Or maybe Steve Jobs can now reinvent the shareholder activist. He can call it the iCahn.

Sorry. Must be late in the day.
