You can blame laziness as much as greed for Apple's New Year shock

@Andre Carneiro; Indeed. If it all went tits up for Apple tomorrow, it could probably survive almost indefinitely on its past glories and what it has in the bank, the business equivalent of a white dwarf.

Of course, pressure from greedy shareholders probably wouldn't let them do that, and it's more likely that they'd be forced by them to waste money on ill-directed attempts to become as profitable again as they were in their glory days. Either that, or they'd simply be broken up.

But that's beside the point. Apple is not going to go bankrupt any time soon unless they start being *unbelievably* wasteful with money, which isn't happening at present.
