You haven't answered my question. How is 30 billion different from 60 billion? Why would investors be okay with 30 billion cash in hand but not 60 billion? Whats the magic threshold? 31 billion?
From the Back to the Mac event, Apple sold 13.7 million Mac's in 2010 fiscal year, for a 27% growth year-over-year . In comparison, there are "only" 600,000 iOS developers. I don't think its accurate to write off the Mac's resurgence as "Oh, people want to make iOS apps, nothing more." http://venturebeat.com/2010/10/20/apple-mac-numbers/
In a sense you're right, 30 and 60 billion represent the same thing - an inability to act by Apple management. On the other hand, when Apple had 30 billion one would ask "Don't they have a plan?" When they hit 60 the question becomes "WTF are they waiting for?"
Tangent: every Mac developer isn't a one person shop.
