As a long time Apple developer (sure, call me a fan-boy I don’t care) it has not always been easy or fashionable to be associated with them. After Apple’s near death experience in the 90′s it is now quite pleasant to see the success they are having with the iPod/iPhone/iPad lineup. Watching the entrenched camps squirm is a refreshing experience.
And now I see that Apple bests Microsoft as the world’s biggest tech company at least as measured by market cap. Who’d a thunk it. It’s almost a “Who Dat?” type of experience. Nice job Apple!
Perfect? No. Got it all correct? No. Near death? Hardly. Apple could buy Dell Computer now – for cash – and shut it down. My how times change. It even looks as if I’ll finally get a Mac as an every day computer where I work! Strange times indeed.
