Apple now has more cash to spend than the United States government.
Latest figures from the US Treasury Department show that the country has an operating cash balance of $73.7bn (£45.3bn).
Apple's most recent financial results put its reserves at $76.4bn.

The United States is currently spending around $200bn more than it collects in revenue every month.
Fucking The scale of the figures is silly.

If they cost only twice as much as their material worth then they wouldn't be holding any money at all...

Read that earlier, a lot of money to have lying about. Enough to put a higher res screen in the 4GS imo.

If that is balance sheet reserves, its not a pot of cash, sort of money that doesn't exactly exist.
