 Apple doesn't care about market share. They suck up all the profitss instead.  The real trick is how they can get that money back into the US so it can be paid to Wall Street.

Why should Wall Street gamblers get any of this money? Apple's profits don't impact any income investors get other than through dividends. None of Apple's profits are "paid" to Wall Street. Wall Street is one big gambling pot paid for by stock buyers, not by any profits by corporations. Apple doesn't owe Wall Street anything, especially since Wall Street is so corrupt in the way it manipulates AAPL stock.

Rarely mentioned ... (OK, never mentioned), is that IBM got quite a bit above 1 trillion way back when (the 70's), when you adjust for inflation. 

But sure, a Trillion is a huge milestone, and I'm not unhappy that Apple was the one to make it. They're still underdogs on Wall Street and while that is weird, it doesn't really matter. They did it the old-fashioned way, and not on hype.

Apple should be worth more than any other company because they do more good in the world than any other company.

It's great when Apple files these extremely broad patents that prevent others from coming out with anything similar. Apple often does not produce the products it patents.  But if anybody else tries to make anything remotely similar, they get Appled.
