What this reinforce, in my mind, is that Apple has more money than they know what to do with. --Really, it is completely ridiculous. - like giving the kids on the corner lemonade stand 500 million dollars to grow their business. ...cover more street corners.

I did see that Apple was buying back stock. Maybe they would like to buy at a lower price. I dunno. Sure seems to me that a CEO going out of his way to insult both buyers and investors is not smart. ...Yes, I know, his insults will reinforce the feel-good of the anti-conspicuous-consumption crowd who hate polluters. . .and paradoxically buy and invest in disposable electronics. But this just opens an unnecessary can of worms. - Why?

PS, my above link was on the highly viewed Drudge report (yesterday & today; up high). - thought you AAPL fan-boys would like to know.
