Losing money is never good.  But frankly, 60 +- million for a company
of Apple's size is a drop in the bucket.  Cost cutting measures, such
as laying off $2000 + people, can easily rectify this.  I'm sure the
2000 being laid off however, aren't exactly enthusiastic about Apple's
future profits.  Perhaps if Apple hadn't bungled it up before they got
their jobs and adjusted their lives they wouldn't have to go through
this.  Nothing new though, management screw ups in business tend to
get rid of the least responsible first.

Wonder if MS will set up a recruiting stand on Apple's front lawn. :)
