Maybe the Steve Jobs thing ISN'T a crisis, at least not for Apple.

Today, they reported first-quarter Apple earnings of $1.61 billion, or $1.78 a share, on revenue of $10.17 billion. During the same period a year ago, Apple earnings were $1.58 billion, or $1.76 a share, on revenue of $9.6 billion.

The results beat the estimates of analysts surveyed by FactSet Research, who forecast Apple earnings to be $1.29 a share on $10.16 billion in revenue for what is typically the company's busiest business period of the year.

The company didn't give any more comments about the health of Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who is taking a leave of absence from Apple until late June.
