Hum, losing so much money, but being debt free, cutting staff and cost by half, and debt free, seeing predators circling the business, but debt free. What would happen if they where making big profits. We heard this when they launch the new phones, but sales have not been as expected..but never mind we are debt free
Yea well as of August they still had a good chunk of surplus cash at $2.6 Billion, their net worth if they sold all assets, infrastructure and patents estimate in at $5 billion if sold together.

I don't remember the part of "people doubting".........I remember before the smartphone emerged and Google OS was revered and anxiously awaited by every tech savvy person I knew.
Thing is...If you have to tell people you are still alive you probably aren't. That Monty Python scene where the Knight has his limbs cut off but is still "OK" comes to mind. "It's just a scratch!"
