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.
