Yesterday saw Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock slip as people reacted to the news of lower than expected iPhone activations. Today at 5:00 PM Apple released news that it had a "blow out" quarter with its computer sales, with 1,764,000 Macs sold, a 33% increase from the previous year over year quarter. With revenue of $5.41 billion and $818 million in profit, Apple increased it's quarter's results from the previous comparable year in profit from $472 million.
Although Apple stock rebounded throughout the day, moving up $2.65 to end at $137.54, after hours trading has seen the stock pushing $150 a share, a strong sign that investors were already reacting positively to the quarter's results.

While the results came in at the higher end of expectations, they do reinforce Apple's reliance upon the Jobs machine.
