Most likely you have seen one of the dozens of Apple commercials for their various popular products. If you haven't, you must be living in the stone age. Did you ever think about how much money they are actually spending on those ad campaigns? Well, we did a little digging and found out.
Apple has spent nearly $1.3 billion dollars in the past 3 years. Almost half of that was spent in 2008 alone ($468 million). Microsoft has only spent $300 million to pump up their products. Do you think that's enough? Do tell.

Steve Jobs just confirmed that the new iPhone 3G has a kill switch, in case if any malicious software gets through their store and into consumers iPhones. It is a smart move on Apple's part to have such a plan in place but a lot of people are questioning why they didn't tell the public this information any sooner. Avi Greengart, an analyst with Current Analysis said,
"The kill switch is a very controlling gesture. I am not sure why Apple didn't disclose it up front as simply a security measure. Consumers will accept an awful lot if you let them know what they are accepting."
With Apple's position, Jobs said, "Hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull."
