>>In no instance have I *NOT* provided "factual" backup.

Both companies made about $14B last year.

If you want more information find it yourself.<<

If you had actually provided factual backup already in this case, you could have simply linked to your prior post.

Meanwhile, I'm sure you would not claim that Samsung made as much money from the sale of smartphones that Apple made in the past year.

And if you want to compare the earnings of the two companies, you should include Apple's last calendar year, which would match up with Samsung's fiscal year. If you include all of 2010's earnings for both companies, Apple made billions more than Samsung.

Factual backup:

Apple Q4, fiscal 2010:

apple.com

Apple Q1, fiscal 2011:

apple.com

Samsung Q4 2010:

samsung.com

The Samsung release is in Korean Won, so one would have to convert it the information to dollars.
