Boom: Apple Worth More Than Google

Um, at what point in time did Google acquire a bigger market value than Apple in the first place?

“Make that two years or less.”

For what it’s worth, the VW prediction was, as you note, “within two years.” Periods of time less than two years are “within” two years. So no need to make that “two years or less.”

Just sayin’.

Wheat, Microsoft’s Market Cap is only $250bn and Dell’s is a very small $50bn compared to these other tech giants.

It’s interesting that MSFT+DELL = AAPL+ GOOG just about in market cap.

I just bought a $100 second hand eMac after my PC died again, and a $100 second hand ipod nano.
These really rock compared to PCs. I have had an iMac, a Mac mini, a Wallstreet and some older Macs before, and it’s a welcome return.

No more antivirus, no more waiting after login for the system to finish whatever it was doing.
I tried Vista by the way, big disappointment (to me anyway). I want to get an old iWork and iLife now.

I like Linux, Ubuntu with beryl looks great, but the kernel drivers keeps breaking with my hardware on software update. I think the Linux kernel is the weakest part of Linux systems now (as in causes the most problems).

Google apps (including sketchworks3d) are fantastic. I can see why Google and Apple are doing so well right now. You really get a lot lot more over the cheap mp3 players if you get an iPod. Technology done right.

Microsoft surface looks interesting (if unbeleivably expensive).
So in short it looks to me like Microsoft are on the back foot, and Apple and Google are surging ahead at the moment… Dells a bit of a bit player money wise, though I have fond memories of the Dell kit I have had (XP laptops were decent).
