      I am not saying that it couldn’t be split but a thousand companies doesn’t sound a good idea. Some of the stuff they do cannot be done at that size I would suspect.

    Don’t you all have a business or economics community to post this?

    If I subscribe to technology, I want tech news. Not how this month one tech giant is valued slightly higher than another.

    Hold up guys! It’s just a big misunderstanding! The Tesla parked at the Redmond parking lot is actually Bertha’s. She doesn’t work at Microsoft. She works for Uber.

    Again sorry, bad evaluation… apple can have it’s Crown back for another 10 seconds… okay now! This time Microsoft really is the…no wait! The homeless guy! The hobo just picked up the nickel! One more microsecond… okay now Microsoft is the clear winner by a single microwave oven!

    Oh no! Fred! He’s about to cook his fish dish again! Someone stop him!
