As far as I know, the iMacs are doing well and that's offsetting the loss of sales from the slumping iBooks.
Overall, Apple is having their margins squeezed by higher component prices. However, nobody thinks apple is going to die. Only that they might have a bad quarter.
Fryke is the guy who started the "Apple isn't going to die" stuff in what looked like an effort to put the original poster down. I don't know why he talks like that.
Anyway, they have a lot of cash in the bank. They are doing a lot of exciting stuff with the software. The hardware stinks. I won't predict what's going to happen with this quarter's profits but I will say it's not enough to cause any concern about Apple going away.
