We received word that Apple had issued a memo this afternoon announcing re-availability of the product.

We confirmed with an Apple telesales representative at 800-MY-APPLE that Final Cut Studio, part number MB642Z/A, is again available for $999 (and $899 for educational customers). The product is only available through the 800-number and is not available in Apple Retail Stores or on the Apple Online Store.

Did Apple made a big mistake with FCPX?

It's a day full of superlatives for the Cupertino kids. The Wall Street Journal's Dennis K. Berman notes on Twitter, "Apple now has $78 billion of cash in the bank*. That's worth more than all of Goldman Sachs, market value $65 billion."

Apple said on a conference call that the company had only $76.2 billion in the bank. The increase of over $10 billion still has the company comfortably ahead of Goldman, though. Should Goldman ever wish to cash out, Apple could afford to buy them at their current market cap and still have billions left over.

It is not uncommon thing.
Many US based companies have unusual amounts of cash.

My personal theory on this is that Apple and many other companies had been used in past years to prepare "invasion army".
Army consisting from companies that kind of not connected with gorverment and will fight for resources and production companies right before shock and during first stages of coming drama.
After this, on second part, real owners will come into play.
