Apple this morning posted a media alert, announcing they will release numbers for third fiscal quarter and second calendar quarter of 2009 via webcast.  These conference calls are often filled with little tidbits of information and many "we've got the most exciting products in our pipeline ever"-type statements that we all salivate over.
