Dear Apple: Here's What to Do With Your Cash

I'm quite happy Apple doesn't take the mountain of bad advice the industry throws at it.

is this a joke?

Reader Tom Broderick suggests the company could buy something easy and cheap, such as a development-stage search engine like Cuil. Or something big and complex, like Sun Microsystems (JAVA). (Not a new idea, I might add.) Or, he suggests, pry PayPal away from eBay (EBAY), and make a big move in electronic payments

Wake me up the minute they announce dividend payouts, I'll buy the stock then :)
