^Well, Apple has probably been hit hard because everything they sell costs a fortune, and people don't have the money to spend on luxury Apple products right now so they settle for other brands. For example, my MacBook Pro was like $2500. For the same price you could buy like 4 or 5 low to mid-level windows laptops.

I think it's best to try to not worry so much, while still staying aware of the situation. Try to find happiness in doing things you enjoy, like modding your car, or spending time with loved ones. I think it's best to try to distract yourself from all of the talk of the economy falling into the gutter, just try to continue making safe personal economic decisions.

That is a stupid statement. This has hit alot of people. Like my step mother who has worked for the same company for 40 years and has invested into her 401k plan as of now has no retirement. Alot are loosing alot of things they have worked their whole life for right now.
