They should start a space program.

Teach kids how to use your products, and they'll buy them because it's all they know how to use.
They're trying to do what microsoft did.
I can't be the only one that feels like Apple is trying to become a monopoly in the tech industry. Watch as they use their money to buy as many other tech companies as they can.
Invest in biologically engineering either rainbow or silver apple trees.

It works, I don't blame them.
The Apple army marches fucken on....
They could revitalise the economy in one fell swoop with that much money and still have 99 billion left to use.
There are about 200,000,000 people in the United States between the ages of 18 and 25. Give each of them $2,000,000 with the stipulation that they buy a house (outright, not mortgage it) and an american car (outright or with a sizeable down payment). If the person is above either 40 or 50 a third stipulation should be that they retire (But not actually take their pensions) on the remainder of the money, because honestly you can live 40 or so years comfortable on 1.5mil if you play with it right.
That opens up about 40,000,000 jobs in the United States which could be immediately filled since the unemployment rate is around 17% (30,000,000)
Since that would create a job seeker market rather than an employer market, employers would have to start offering better incentives and wages to attract workers, since there are now more jobs than workers. It could also end up enabling the creation of new businesses or factories/jobs
They should start hydrogen production. Electric can go to hell, I don't want Earth to be 100% dependent on electricity.
[QUOTE=ketchup v2;35198508]It works, I don't blame them.[/QUOTE]
I don't blame them either. I'm just saying that they don't donate stuff to schools to look good. That's just what it looks like at first glance.
it won't be anything interesting, or positive for the world
Build a civilian space station big enough to travel to and stay at.
"the the largest lawsuit in all of humanity! coming to a conference call near you soon!"

that's one of the worst things you could do with that money
Niggas shouting for charity be small minded as fuck son. You really don't want this money put towards innovation b? You even understand the kind of scientific/technological/medical advances that could be made with 100 billi in cash brah?
Silly apple, you can't buy the patent office.
Pay off a portion of the US debt maybe?
Build a space-shuttle in the form of a giant, metal apple.
Become the second private-sector spacecraft to dock with the ISS.

yes, literally the worst thing that can be done with that money is giving ipads to schools.
It's weird to think that Iron Man was portrayed as having something like 8-10 billion dollars, and apple has 10 times that.
Possibilities.

Apple as a company has donated some funds to liberal candidates and organizations. Just because Steve Jobs never did does not mean Apple won't divert at least 0.5% of their funds for something charitable.

And to be fair, Tim Cook is a much more generous and well rounded person than Jobs. I heard he brought back Apple's charity program, which Jobs had canned like two decades ago.
