At $400 billion, Apple is worth more than Greece

You know what apple is? It's the left-handed store from the simpsons.

Sure, if the left-handed store was worth more than the right-handed store and most of the world suddenly turned left-handed.

Terrible analogy.

I'd go as far as to say the leftorium is a total reference to Apple, who groening worked for in the same year that the episode came out.

EDIT: It was actually 2 years after he worked for apple.

Absolutely. Because 1995 Apple has a lot to do with 2012 Apple.

Oh, wait. No it doesn't. Not in the slightest bit. The 1995 Apple was on the verge of collapse and hadn't created a successful product in years (though they were still innovating in digital cameras and PDAs, they just weren't even remotely successful).

Hey, I love Woz. I think he's one of the smartest UI people on the planet (not to mention a much more decent human being than Jobs). But just because Woz was good at certain things, it doesn't mean Jobs wasn't good at others. There is no coincidence that the rise, decline, and rise of Apple fall directly in line with Steve Jobs' tenure with the company. He was really good at getting everyone pointed in the right direction and seeing his vision come to fruition.
