> Would you pay Apple 10B to gain, at best, 15B? 30% APY Seems like a good deal to me! EDIT: more seriously, you don't start with iPhone. You start outbidding

30% APY Seems like a good deal to me!
EDIT: more seriously, you don't start with iPhone. You start outbidding Google on the margins where your budget constraint less a factor.
> On top of that, who prevents Google to pay 16B next year?
Profit margins. Google's budget is not unlimited, after all.

- jldugger 7y agoWell then it's even cheaper to get started =)
