| 605003 | 2007-10-25 00:37:00 | According to this article here: pcworld.co.nz Apple is the worlds biggest computer maker in terms of market capitalization but it gets compared to IBM who only make servers and Intel who only make chips and Nokia who only make phones. How the hell does this comparison work? I can understand IBM because both of them make servers but what about the other 2? And why not compare it with AMD as well then? What do you guys think? |

| 605005 | 2007-10-25 00:44:00 | All its talking about is the value of their shares. And I'm pretty sure AMD have made hundreds of millions worth of losses in the last quarter, You would be better off buying a loaf of bread and eating it rather then investing in their stock. Apple are making money, Good for them. No skin off my nose either way. |

I can understand IBM because both of them make servers but what about the other 2? And why not compare it with AMD as well then? What do you guys think? Your confusing Market share (how many PCs) with Market valuation (what the company is worth) |
