Video: Bill Maher on Apple as 'doomed doomed doomed'
March 10, 2013: 1:23 PM ET"They sold 48 million iPhones, 23 million iPads... Their slaves could barely keep up!"
FORTUNE -- Comedian Bill Maher had fun last week mocking some recent Apple (AAPL) headlines:
- Can Apple's stock recover without Steve Jobs? (Gizmodo)
- Investor's appetite for Apple sours (LA Times)
- Why Apple is ailing (Fox News)
- Five reasons Apple is doomed doomed doomed (Computerworld)
He might have made a stronger point if he'd had his facts straight. (Apple just had a $54 billion quarter, not a $42 billion one.)
But Maher wasn't as far off as HuffPo's Arianna Huffington, who seemed to think that Jeff Bezos is so frustrated with Wall Street's valuation of Amazon (AMZN) ($125 billion on earnings growth of -45%) that he's taken the company private.

The "end of TechCrunch"? It might not be such a bad thing
What would the startup scene be like without the blog that currently animates it? A whole lot better, actually.
FORTUNE -- At TechCrunch's Disrupt conference earlier this year, Michael Arrington brought Arianna Huffington on stage and the two played "The Odd Couple" for 10 minutes.

AOHuffPo? HuffOL? What the new media mashup really means
AOL needed a traffic hub and social media know-how. HuffPo needed an exit and a new job for its visionary leader. Was merging the right answer?
