Apple Reports Q1 Loss
Amsterdam Vallon writes "Apple recently reported an $8 million loss, its second straight loss, compared with a $38 million profit a year ago. It seems that upbeat laptop sales weren't enough to get this company out of the Wall Street basement. Hopefully, with increasing Mac OS X and wireless-related sales, we'll see a nice increase come next quarter and after that, perhaps a jaunt toward profitability!" The back was apparently tipped into the red with one-time restructuring losses, else there would have been a modest profit; Apple expects stagnant revenues for the near future.
I do agree with the whole processor issue, which leads to my next question...
Dear Apple,
Where the hell is the next generation of processors?
Sincerly,
Everyone

I guess my point is that Apple is sitting on a crazy killer OS platform that at it's core is extremely portable, and they should be exploiting it to it's fullest extent. Their software tools are what defines them.
Problem is, Steve remembers NeXT. Been there, done that, failed.
