Great article by Mac Daily News on Apple’s market value progression against Dell’s.

These are astounding numbers. Not only is Apple today the company with the largest market cap in the world, it is also 17 times bigger than an old competitor.

Not in my wildest dreams as an early adopter I could have foreseen anything like that.

The first thing that popped into my head was the word sad. If a company the size of Dell have to come up with asterisks in their ads, then they are a sad company producing sad products.

Based on Dell internal analysis as at February 2011. Based on a thickness comparison (front and rear measurements) of other 15" laptop PCs manufactured by HP, Acer, Toshiba, Asus, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony, MSI. No comparison made with Apple or other manufacturers not listed.
