http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/09/16/sometimes-it-just-feels-like-1984/ Jeff Nolan's take on investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and the technology industry Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:27:53 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/09/16/sometimes-it-just-feels-like-1984/comment-page-1/#comment-168998 Martin Edic Mon, 17 Sep 2007 21:00:02 +0000 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/09/16/sometimes-it-just-feels-like-1984/#comment-168998 Jeff, While we seldom agree politically (that's what makes this country great!) I couldn't agree more about that incredibly poor article. Take a look at market cap- Apple's cap is many times higher than Dell for example. Look at cash on hand- Apple has 14 billion and it just keeps pouring in. They've built a business ecosystem around the creation, distribution and enjoyment of digital media (and now are in the communication business), something that Microsoft has been unable to touch and that the entertainment industry is petrified of because all they ever had was a lock on distribution. Nothing about any of this in the piece. Jeff,
