That was a false report. Perhaps it's the case that the last typewriter factory in India closed, but there are other companies still making typewriters.
Twelve, thirteen years ago Apple was almost bankrupt, and a dwarf, compared to behemoth Microsoft.
What an incredible rise.
Key points: iMac, OS X, iOs, iPhone, iPad, switch to Intel, MacBook Pro, top notch design, great customer service, kept away from low quality/low profit margin products like netbooks

Sure, except so many can't afford apple products.
Until they release a product that the masses can afford (ex a laptop ~$800 or less) they are never going to have a bigger market share than microsoft.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW GOOD THEY ARE IF NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD IT!
Maybe you can but many (like 70% of users cannot).
1.3 trillion dollars. For comparison the world economy was 74 trillion in 2010.
I think you are crazy. I thought is was in the range of 300-350 billion.
Who is big brother now?
I was waiting all day to see what will we see in this report. Good news! Congrats to Apple! is each of these "" worth 153 billion as well?
Now they can pay off Dr. Evil's 100 billion dollar ransom
if they want to!!!
Google gives out everything for free using their super fortune, and it dumps out other companies. Google Earth, for example, is super wasteful and prevents companies that make paid maps from existing.
Still, they're not very bad. McDonald's is a scumbag. They claim that their stuff is healthy when in reality it is fake AND unhealthy. They are pretty irresponsible with the way they get their beef, too. If they're going to be unhealthy, at least don't lie about it!
Yeah, I could name a few people who just post comments to disagree with everyone. For one, WiiDsmoker...

Nice. The growth of Apple is most apparent here. Before, we didn't even know what a Mac is. Now, we can see Macs, iPhones, iPods, etc. all over the place. Awesome.
I agree.
So much for yellow tinted iMacs and freezing MBP's being an issue. I have both machines and both work perfectly.
Lesseee now...
achievement : 5 pts
overnight : 2 pts
landmark : 8 pts
paradigm : 20 pts
huge growth phase : (5*3*3)=45 pts, great combo there!
brand : 2 pts
82 points total, for Most Overused Buzzwords and Marketing Speak game, but -10 pts for not using the word synergy, -20 for missing out on the classic combo "award winning" and -5 for missing proactive.
Oh, come on. Synergy is so 90s. Just make the "proactive" penalty 15.
