- Fuzzwah 13y agoMy 1st thought was that the difference here is that Apple were broadening their focus, the other two examples were pinning all their hopes on a single product.
- cstejerean 13y agoI think a comparable change on Apple's part would have been renaming themselves to MacBook with a stock symbol of $MBP (or something equally narrow, as opposed to dropping computer to go after a bigger market).
- erik 13y agoImagine Apple with a stock symbol of IPOD.
