have to speculate about Apple's surplus of nearly $100 billion in cash.

This allowed everyone from analysts to bloggers to speculate about what they would do with the money. Many on Wall Street called for the company to give some money back it its shareholders. Luckily, the company appeased the masses.

You'll see more of all of these in the future."
