Over the last few months both the press and analysts have been so busy falling over themselves spouting the most dramatic nonsense about Apple's impending demise that the non-techie could be forgiven for actually thinking that the company was about to go under. If you read any Apple news or news about the financial markets in general, you know what I'm talking about. You've read phrases like this in articles (or worse, comments) in the last two months:
"AAPL drops 30% to $500! Next stop $200!"
"Apple slashes screen orders. Is anyone buying the iPhone?"
"The company doesn't know how to innovate anymore!"
