Agreed to this and all other comments. There can be no criticism of how much a company spends on R&D - spend tens of billions make a profit, you're doing good, but spend a couple billion and make billions in profit, your a genius. Apple is indeed getting the better bang for their buck over their competitors, that's for sure.

Overall, I think R&D costs is really a moot point, although its always nice to see corporations going above and beyond to push the boundaries of technologies, and develop new ones.
