    About them iPod Snobs,
    don't it make you sick?
    Goin' all around,
    enjoyin' they music.
    They listen on the bus,
    they listen on the plain.
    Showin' off for all to see,
    ain't it just a pain?
    Look at all those iPod Snobs,
    owning one is wrong.
    They can load enough to play
    three weeks worth of songs!
    How to be a iPod Snob,
    it's not very hard.
    Go to Apple's Store,
    and charge it on your card.

    Isn't $19 million in profit awfully low for $1.545 BILLION in revenueThat gives them a profit margin of about 1.25%.

    I'd say we should be ecstatic that the number was positive, regardless of magnitude. This means, at a minimum, Apple is stable in the near-term and won't disappear in a vapor in a bankrupcy court anytime soon. As long as they stay afloat, they can keep sticking irritating glass fibers into Microsoft's pale skin.
