Apple has become the most valuable company of all time – surpassing a record set by Microsoft in 1999.

Shares in the tech giant hit a high of $664.75 in Monday morning trading, valuing the company at over $619bn. The price topped the $618.9bn Microsoft achieved in December 1999.

yeah but doing that 13 years later is not as impressive, given inflation..just sayin.

Isn't all this just theoretical finance bullshit anyways? Like the highest market cap record that happened a few months ago?

i'm sure the folks in the chinese factories are celebrating right now

not surprising

Apple are a very cash rich company though by all accounts

Microsoft, however, retains the title of history's most valuable company if its 1999 peak value of about $621 billion were to be adjusted for inflation.

I'm not talking about an OS, I'm talking about architecture and scandalous capitalistic greed. My brother is going on a trip to Cambodia and I wanted to lend him my external USB drive so he would have more storage space and would have had more space for storing more pictures.

Turns out you have to buy a convertor from apple to be able to connect a USB external HDD to his Ipad.

MKJ wasn't talking about an OS either.

When people reply to eachother and there is an 8 hour timespan between those posts, he should have quoted it.

I thought he was replying to my pic...

He was.

So who says I'm not using a custom built x64 architecture pc, with ubuntu installed and emulating windows purely for entertainment purposes, because, up until recently, there weren't many games available for other OS, but Windows, which is crap btw.

Christ you're dense.

Blindly hating Apple is the new version of blindly hating Microsoft and both make you look like an immature moron.
