You change the subject. I’m not talking about current market cap, I’m talking about product development choices and their impact on future market position.

In the long run the guy at the top always make a mistake. I suggest you read “How the Mighty Fall”. No corporation is ever too big to fail. If you make poor business choices they will eventually bite you. My take is that long term Apple is making business choices that will marginalize their position in the mobile phone space. You can argue current market cap all day...I’m talking about what will be happening in ten years.

I see. Predictions 10 years out?

Uhm. 10 years ago, Mac was DEAD, and Windows wasn’t even at XP. And PCs still cost thousands and AOL was pay by the minute Dial up.

10 years from now? Muslims may have taken over the world for all we know.

Or some new quantum computer may be invented by some company that doesn’t even exist right now.

10 years is way too far out to make Tech Predictions.

But 2 or 3 years, we can see much better and Apple will still be making more money on fewer products than the rest of the entire market combined.
