Apple Market Cap now over $300 Billion, second only to [View All]

Exxon. Remember when Microsoft was ready to crush Apple, and Michael Dell suggested Apple shut down and return investor's money? Apple passed Microsoft early last year, and Dell is losing value. The more conservative companies were unwilling to take the risks Apple took, and now are eating their dust. You may hate Apple, but you must concede that they are doing something right. Think of what the computer/consumer electronic field would be like if not for the disruptive technologies out of Apple*.

*I also like what Panasonic, Olympus, and Sony are doing with compact interchangeable lens cameras. They have put new life into the market. Before you either had to have a big, heavy DSLR, or a point and shoot. Now, because of the micro four thirds out of Panasonic and Olympus, the large sensor (APS-C) NEX out of Sony, we have compact cameras that deliver near professional results. Samsung has some very nice small large APS-C sensor compacts too.
