actually apple has over 285 billion just in cash which makes up a large part of that market cap.

Given that Steve Jobs died, Apple's market value is just crazy. Thanks Vort3x for the infographics link! I'll use that in class for my e-business students.

yeah - I have often thought they could do well in the windows market - I guess there is either a strange ideological issue or they don't have the coding skills to make it worth while.

Another example is five12 with Numerology - if that had been released on Windows a few years back they would have made some good money.

I spoke to the Sinevibes dev's and they hope to go VST as well, it's just a question of manpower and knowledge. (It was the same thing for our company back in the days actually - we started out on Macs and went cross-platform at the same time as Apple changed their audio protocol with the advent of OSX, and at the same time as the IT crash happened, causing our investors to withdraw. Too many negatives at once would be an understatement...)

Thanks for mentioning five12 (http://www.five12.com/). Very cool.

yeah, that's why i said "in stock" as in on the stock market.

i remember when a billion was actually a million x a million. and a trillion, a billion billions.

remember a few years back when trillions just "disappeared"?
i think i may know why...

Interesting... I thought the US trillion was equal to the British billion. Maybe the difference disappeared when Encyclopedia Brittanica collapsed and Wikipedia became the Unified Source of Truth.

In Sweden we have always had
Thousand
Million
Milliard
Billion
Billiard
Trillion
etc. In other words, we say there live a milliard people in China. It really confuses things when discussing high numbers internationally.

I'd buy NI and put software/hardware hybridation back on the rails.

Same. I'm glad you can modify it, but it needs a bit of elegance and interface improvements.

If I had the money to buy a big company I'd retire.

Who wants to deal with a bunch of whiny ass bitch plugin customers?

What music software company would you buy?
