I think if you check you will find that Google's market cap is currently
larger than Apple's.

Googling, Apple appears to have about 15 billion in cash currently.
Google had about 11 billion back in March; I don't have a current
figure. But either company could borrow more if needed.

Hey, as long as you are acknowledging you have no credibility because
you parrot stuff you don't understand as yours it is fine with me.

Sure it did. Anytime you write something without attribution you are
using your words which means you are the author and understand the topic
and agree that it is correct.

There are numerous ways you could have prevented your yourself from
looking like a fanboi troll such as simply:

Including the URL and putting the content in quotes.

Stating "I found this but I don't understand it so could it be true?"

etc

But how would anyone know that about what you posted because you read
the fanboi marketing speak bait and wrote it as the author because you
believed it?

I can't speak for him but your whole purpose for posting is obviously to
troll and annoy people who know more than you. You could solve your
problem by going away or posting in a normal non-fanboi fashion.

So much so that you don't see that you are just a total fanboi who
exists solely to troll and post stuff you don't even understand.

I seriously doubt anyone here wants to hear your "exciting news".

No, you're the carrier asshole. And we don't need to ***** at the
original author, because he didn't post it here. You did, and you did it
without attrributing it to anyone else.

If you had posted your original toilet paper only in alt.cellular.attws,
even though a child of 6 would know every part of it was factually
incorrect, you could atleast have maintained that it was on topic, since
ATT carries Apple phones.

If the facts were correct and not covered in blathering marketspeak, you
could have maintained that it was news that would be of interest even in
other carrier's groups.

But instead you posted a factually incorrect market spiel containing no
news what so ever to every cellular group, where not only is it wrong,
your fanboyish verbal masturbations are not wanted. Then when everyone
points out what an ignorant fanboy tool you are, and how you don't even
understand the basic facts of analog TV or wireless networking, you get
your feelings hurt and run off at the mouth even more.

If someone who liked Verizon or Sprint as much as you suck Steve Job's
penis were to make a post to the Apple news groups every time someone at
Sprint or Verizon farted, I bet you'd be the first in line to criticise
them.

i have tons of credibility, people love what i write. and yes, i should
have been clearer of the source, but was feeling lazy at the time and
didn't. deal with it.

why so bitter david? if you don't like facts, don't read my posts. it's

for some reason you and others are scared of what I have to say. i know
why, but *****ing about it won't make the iPhone go away.

i'll post what I want, where I want, when I want. this is USENET, it's
the spirit of this decentralized, discussion system.

if you don't like it, leave.

not sure about fanboy, i'm just an advocate of quality products. if
nokia or LG come up with something, i'll be there.

i deeply understand all that i post, but for some reason, you don't so
you get mad instead of rising up to my level.

Ness, so clueless in so many ways. You can't write a check against
"market cap", you can only do it with liquid assets such as cash.

Apple is wealthier than Google by quite a wide margin. From a financial
perspective Apple has more tangible assets, a fully built out
distribution system, worldwide brand identity, etc. Google has little of
that.

Google is just the flavor of the month search site, they all fall at
some point and the list of giants, then nothing is long. AltaVista,
Lycos, Excite, Yahoo and within a few years Google will be replaced, and
join the "old players" club as well.

Banks don't look kindly on such ".com" bubbles, so Google is in a much
weaker position than Apple to bid on the upcoming spectrum sale.

So Ness, learn about the world, don't spout stuff you don't understand.

Apple is wealthier than Google, I don't think you realize that.

> And guess what, GOOGLE HAS SALES EXPERIENCE!

Yes, selling little classified Ads on websites, but to sell a phone,
they have no idea. That's why they confirmed they wouldn't try and make
a phone a few weeks ago.

If the technical details can be worked out, Apple will buy a portion of
the spectrum, Apple has far more engineering talent that Google could
ever dream of...

i haven't trolled a post in my life. fanboy? that's not my style.

i'm just posting info about the iphone to groups/people that are, "or
will be" interested in the biggest cell revolution of our time.

nothing wrong with that.

how do you mean? i'm just educating... so it sounds like you have issues
against people being fully informed... how sad.

okay, they have been answered.

do you have any other questions i can help you with?

Idiot.... you have ZERO credibility! Less than zero actually...

Get a clue - NO ONE "loves" what you write - do you see anyone supporting
you?
(Other than your quite obvious and obnoxious sock puppets)

"lazy" isn't the word - fanatic fanboy fantasy is more like it.
