Yeah, let's put aside the whole Adobe thing. For all that hate (and over hype) about Apple, it does show the power of innovation vs complacency.
- No, the power of good marketing. They have innovated little. They take existing ideas and market them well.ETM
- better than their competitors.ETM

1. Gas to power their vehicles & provide them with freedom/mobility.
2. Electronics to fill their void lives with meaning and cloud their vision of all the global issues caused by 1.

I've always had a feeling Apple was a bit of a stock scam... this just furthers my suspicion.
Apple larger than GE? based on the ipod and ~10% of the desktop computer market? not a fucking chance.
