Apple's Market Cap Exceeds Google's
Lawrence Person writes "Mac Daily News was one of many Apple-followers to note that Apple Inc.'s market capitalization exceeded Google today. That means that the combined value of all Apple's outstanding shares of stock exceeded the combined value of all Google's outstanding shares of stock. Apple's stock is worth $157 billion and change vs. Google's $156 billion. Other companies Apple has surpassed in market cap include Cisco, HP, and Intel. Also, Apple is now worth 3 times the value of Dell Computer, despite Dell's founder and CEO declaring over a decade ago that if he ran Apple, he'd 'shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.'"
You, sir, do not understand the stock market.
Well then, it's a good thing Apple doesn't have a company image largely leveraged on hype.
Name...That...Autocomplete!
You, sir, do not understand the stock market.
Does anyone?

Is that a new feature? I hope it's not in beta...
You're too kind, I would have tried to sell him a bridge.
Only three things are certain; death, taxes, and apocryphal quotations - Ben Franklin.
yeah, the beta version has a known bug... it bytes.

Is "shooting from the hip" a euphemism for "making shit up to sound correct" or "spreading bullshit to suck apples dick"?
Hmmm witty sig or funny sig? Maybe elitest techy sig!
First, you don't know how much stock I own.
Second, 1% is infinitely more than 0%.
Then sell 1% of your shares. There's your dividend.
Do you know there are companies that pay dividends in shares? I'd consider that the biggest con ever, if I didn't know the stockmarket pulled much weirder shit every day.
It is considered normal for some people to hate Microsoft, the PC, Budweiser, France or Hollywood, but... ... if someone hates Apple, a moral panic breaks out among its disciples. A call to arms is cried from the towers and the torches are lit to defend the faith by flame.
It's just a brand of gadgets ffs! Your mother wasn't insulted, your religion wasn't oppressed. Save your energies for a fight that really matters, such as flaming people who don't like starbucks or adidas.
AAPL actually hit $3-4 at one point in the 90's.
I really need to know now: did CERN invent a time machine or not?
I hereby announce that henceforth I will self-identify with Advanced Machine Parts Co.Ltd. of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
You are welcome on my lawn.
how did the weight and build quality of the two machines compare?
I took apart a HP laptop, and it was made of components (transistors, capacitors, circuit board, gold linings and such), you know, the boring usual result of the miniturisation process. When I took apart a Mac, I stumbled upon a world was full of little elves and unicorns who were playing on rolling green hills surrounded by snow-tipped mountains and fields of beautiful flowers that danced in the wind like a Russian ballereena. There was also a rainbow or two there as well.
The HP laptop was surprisingly a little bit heavier, but that's to be expected. Mactops were sprinkled with faerie dust for taking off most of the weight.

Yes, indeed! I have a flock of pink flamingos on my front lawn that I got from the dollar store! wooooooooooooo!
Horns are really just a broken halo.

You would spend $160 billion on something that brings you $24 billion a year?
If you say no, then I wish you luck in your life.
I should add that Boston Market is a mechanism by which saturated fat is captured and transferred to the obese.
The rootkit generates much erratic behavior. Known system calls trigger repeatedly are abstinence(), shutthefuckupandobey(), and, most importantly, iBelieve().
Having grown up in Fort Wayne, IN, I am intrigued. Might I subscribe to your newsletter?
How about religious torches with nuts?
Circumcision is child abuse.
I hate Apple because:
Every product I have owned, or belonged someone close to me, have failed within two years.
A generic holy relic like a Mac cannot prevail against the darkest and most maevolent evil aura like the one surrounding you, Dark Lord Ballmer. To overcome that we need the Glorious Turtleneck. /joke (I shouldn't need this, but the mods just aren't recognizing satire these days)
Given the choice of OS X and Windows Vista, give me Vista any day. I know that's not a popular opinion on Slashdot or anywhere else on planet Earth.
Fixed that for ya.
If not why have the genus bar?
That's just to handle the overflow from the phylum lounge.
Hey, Windows users, there is no such thing as "forward" slash, there is only slash and backslash.
