It's hard to believe that not long ago Apple was supposedly dead in the water. These days, the company is clearing 1 billion dollars in profits every 3 months or so.

This quarter, it was a cool $1.05bn, mainly from everyone's favorite unsung hero, the Macintosh. 1.4 million Macs were sold this quarter, giving the folks down in Cupertino a cool $3.5bn in revenue. iPod didn't fare too badly either, clearing 10.6 million units sold.

Remember the fuss about the price markup on the iPhone? Not so much, it seems. Despite selling 1.7 million units, Apple's iPhone hardware and accessory business only pulled in about $375 million.
