Yea!!!!!!
Crap Yahoo is worth more than Dell.
Maybe Yahoo should make PCs and Dell can be a web portal.
What a ride! Apple now worth more than Microsoft, Google and Intel combined, with enough left over to buy 2 Dells. Maybe the pundits think the iPhone 5 launch is boring, but I find it down right thrilling. On to $1000.
“Apple now worth more than Microsoft, Google and Intel combined, with enough left over to buy 2 Dells.”
Isn’t that just stunning.
What! We didn’t tack on another Dell?
Time to quit counting Dell multiples. AAPL = 2.5 * MSFT.

“Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, dismissed the news that arch-rival Apple managed to surpass the software giant in terms of market capitalisation, amidst rumours that he might attend the Apple’s Worldwide developer conference event for the first time ever.
Ballmer told reporters in New Delhi, India that the rivalry between the two companies is a “long game” where Microsoft has good competitors but are themselves very good competitors as well.
He added that they still make more profit than anybody else and that no other technology companies, including Apple, have managed to match them until now with 94 percent of computers being sold with a Windows OS.”

King of a shrinking Island MSFT is
“….with 94 percent of computers being sold with a Windows OS.”
Do your part: Friends don’t let friends buy PC’s.
I even donate old Macs to friends with problem/dead PC’s. They always think the old Macs are so much faster than the newer PC that died.
900 by February
Are we there yet?
How about $756.60 on October 5th? That would a doubling of the stock price on the first anniversary of Steve Jobs’ death.
+1
Definitely +1 on that.
what do you say now?
(why do i care what they say? because as an aapl investor i just do the OPPOSITE from their advice… lol)
Woo-Hoo!
What!? But I called the iPhone 5 boring! How can this be?! NOOOOOOO!
I kind of wonder if Steve Ballmer ever regrets saying about the iPhone revenue being nothing more than a rounding error considering that iPhone sales bring in more revenue than all of Microsoft’s products combined. iPhone revenue will likely grow much larger in the near future. And to think that iPhone market share is nowhere’s near major market share and still has plenty of room to grow.
Microsoft’s leading market share of desktops is a moot point considering it will either shrink or at most grow more than a few tenths of a percentage point within the next five years. Most of the tech industry realizes that consumers are heading towards mobile devices which Apple dominates in terms of profits.
If Google hadn’t stolen from the iPhone, Apple’s share price would have been over 1 trillion dollars by now. Just amazing how a one-company platform could have overwhelm a free 1000-devices platform in price and profits.
$700!! Unbelievable!
Darn! I missed that great moment yesterday, was busy all afternoon and evening.
