Apple is rich. But we already knew this. What we don’t know until the Cupertino company announced its latest quarterly figures is that it indisputable role therein. Boss, El jobs, was to say more than punchiest of mixed fruit drinks in the world, that he sold more xs, YS, ZS than last year count would be happy. Bringing in a record of $20000000000, which carves below on an icy $4000000000 profit after tax. What was much more interesting than all but was, what it means now and thats $50000000000 collect Apple dust in a large Vault somewhere. In cash. Unused. Liquid.
Of course, who hoards to this type of expenditure scale has obviously got some problems, so here a little advice for Apple, on behalf of Pocket-lint, which about how it could be luck blow his hard accumulated.
Buy another company
$50000000000 is actually controlling or warehouse so much Wonga Apple dealer could their collection of very few large companies out there, with the option of purchase until the whole thing certainly. Sony could had right, as could eBay. Apple could afford beans could both margins and even poor old Nokia off the shelf as a can picked. Unfortunately, a remarkable Goliath is worth too much.
Get at Google
Arch rival Google’s annoying too far out of reach for a hostile takeover. However, a way that Apple might be looking to get giant that take control of Yahoo and the remaining 17 odd billion to changes some decent competition it could. Get Google battle on this front and they could less time to compete with Apple in the mobile space. Goodbye Android.
Buy the entire iTunes catalogue – 3000 times
Worldwide there are over 14 million songs in the iTunes store of 69 cents to $1.29. When we go average of $1 each way for a rather expensive, makes approximately 14 m for the lot. Expected anything on the HD, high end price of $20 in all music videos, TV and films – ever themes – this is a further $1 m. So, with essentially Apple goodies buy over 3333 times the money on the iTunes store. The tricky part is that the company actually make some revenue from that, so they may have to rinse it by a few hundred times below bring balance to zero.
Bombard Microsoft
We’re not talking about an H-bomb, nor anything that would be particularly illegal. Apple could use the cash to buy enough sheets of A4 paper to launch the world’s greatest paper airplane attack on Redmond neighbours, and life time sparring partner, Microsoft. That’s a fleet of 7.9 trillion darts. Of course, the amount of time taken to fold these or employ a person to do so could be an issue. So, let’s shave it down to 5 trillion and throw in a squadron of Apple branded zeppelins to rain down the fury. It would have to go down as office prank of the century and leave the Microsoft staff with a few issues getting home.
Apple: The Movie
Forget “The Social Network” forget “Pirates of Silicon Valley”, forget “Avatar”. “Apple: the movie”, might be the most expensive film in history. With a $50000000000 budget would blow the current record holder, “Pirates of the Caribbean: at world’s end”, out of the water a breathtaking 166 time past. They could send the impact to the stratosphere, if they saved money by Steve Jobs himself to play. The film could document that rise and rise and iMacs rise from Apple since the G3 to the iPad in a way that no one else has so far. This is a cultural heritage. You’re no one until you’ve met Hollywood.
Change history
This one’s a little harder, both, that it is harder to make and the budget is required, but is $50000000000 is probably enough to history rewrite as you choose. Didn’t like the fact that Xerox was the inspiration for Apple computer? You it, change its records, pay buy, otherwise have written rewrite it, erase then give those who are not met, there a few years and no one will forget that photocopies companies no longer. Want to say that Apple’s success in right you was? Who ever by someone named I’ve ever?
Brand the Moon
The moon. Something really boring, isn’t it? Now, what would be nice, if it be Apple, it might be your $50000000000 spend sending a mission to a smattering out blow until it is shaped like the Apple logo. Surely the ultimate branding exercise of all time? Of course there were one or two questions with millions of customers changed, see but where some meeting her death due to extreme tidal a problem could find other opportunity. iDinghy anyone?
Make it up to Bill
The relationship between Gates and jobs was never the simplest, and despite the odd public love occasionally the wound is still deep. Rather than in a show of the Almighty Union donates about Apple that $50000000000 at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Not only would improve the money to health care and reduce poverty around the world, but the only non-profit organization in American history the gift would also big Steve and his company. It is even given a clever one up to the gates family by doubling, what they, tap them to third place on the list of all time.
