Come on scott, its not the worlds biggest. That is not what market cap means :'(Quote:
Now that it's the world's biggest technology company, Apple had better get used to its every move being closely scrutinised
I was wondering if you'd dig that up. :rolleyes:Quote:

The reason could be quite interesting is imho we are seeing many bubbles in technology, especially around mobile search which just aren't going to be as profitable as people really think, I just can't see how the revenue is going to be that great, compared to say content delivery if Murdock gets his way.
Nows the time for MS to provide Internet Explorer 9 for Mac and get them to allow it to be chosen via a browser choice screen...
We continue to strive to achieve the right balance between readable and fastidious.Quote:

Indeed, which is why I so seldom feel the need to berate you guys, but this one, this one does irk me, its like when someone flushes your toilet with the lid up..........Quote:

Then think what they could do with adverts :(Quote:

The amount of tailor-made advertising you could do, at the moment they don\'t have that higher click rate.
The iPhone could know everything about you, from reading your SMSs, emails, Facebooks and even tweats. Putting that on as an advert when you just want to play with the jiggly breast app has limited appeal. Putting something tailored when you want to grab lunch, the money to be made there strikes me as the bigger pot.
Despite what Murdock might do with the content delivery advertising.
