Ehh.. Google have some real problems, atm, no matter how much they invest in diversifying their revenues, they just can't do it. Still way over 90% dependant on advertising revnues from their search service. This is bad, whilst Google's still growing at a rate that would make most big companies jealous, they're actually growing slower than a lot of tech companies - and Bing, Facebook and Apple are all now gunning for their advertising revenue pie. Google's stock has been underperforming the market for over a year, now.

Microsoft's stocks don't move because the company doesn't move... not saying that's necessarily a bad thing. Last year, tablets and smart phones actually ate in to PC sales - if the new revenue streams from Xbox and WP7 can't plug the gap, then the stock will fall.

hurry up and buy SONY either you or Google has to buy sony and change them for the better 

hmmm when i replsed my 2nd gen ipod (battery came loose inside the case), i just walked in, they confirmed i had apple care and gave me a new one, but that was years ago, still rocking my 4gen one right now.

its been years since ive been in a store for support. ive noticed a few dont have real bars anymore or apple techs working front line.

almost went to work in one, got to the second round of interviews for a new store, but was headed out of country for a month so it was a no go.

became an apple certified tech, and order my own parts and swap out when i have issues with my tower, and send the laptop off when it does. 2003 g5 tower with dual 2.0 cpus 6 gig ram. 2006 macbook pro  right after the intel switch, both are still going strong the tower hosts the vgc minecraft server now.
