If you recall, some time ago I agreed to a just-for-entertainment bet with Arik Hesseldahl at BusinessWeek about Apple’s Q4 2008. If the company missed its quarter or guided down, I won, and if it did neither, he won. The winner would donate $50 to the loser’s charity.
Well, Apple’s quarterly results are now in, so we need a verdict.
The result? I won, but it was admittedly closer than expected. Apple made its Q4, but guided down for the current quarter. That still qualified as a win under our agreed criteria, so Arik is graciously writing a check to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Here is Arik’s post on the subject.
