Apple discussed it. They're not yet using the new methods. It may take something like a year to introduce them because there are a lot of complexities. So all these strong numbers are with the old accounting method, which of course is great news for us bulls.

Here's one. Also, I think Oppenheimer said in the conference call that they have not decided exactly when to switch over to the new GAAP rules, but they haven't yet.

They are not in the report it seems. According to MacRumors, using non-GAAP data, Apple would have had $12.25 billion revenue and $2.85 billion of net income.

Thanks! I didn't listen to the conference call and was surprised that none of the stories about the earnings report I read yesterday mentioned GAAP/non-GAAP, since this had been such a major discussion item by the analyst wonks over the past few months.

Looks like Cramer needs to add another sound effect button to his sound machine... it goes something like this...

WAAA, WAAA, WAAAAAAAAH! - Booyah indeed!

I wonder what his stats regarding being right, have been?!

I learned very early to ignore Cramer. He's a loudmouth bloviator with no inside information.
