I hope Tim Cook is watching this. Google missed earnings and the stock WENT UP. Investors love that they're trying new things and are doing everything they can to grow. On the other hand, Apple is trying to horde as much cash as possible while sandbagging their products. Given the resources he has as the CEO of Apple, I don't think anyone's impressed by his ability to make money. It's almost as if he's sending the message that they got lucky with smartphones and tablets..so venturing out to new product categories is too risky to pursue aggressively.
- eddieplan9 13y agoGoogle's stock went up despite - not because - "they're trying new things and are doing everything they can to grow". The real reason the stock went up was because their core ad business is healthy and can support whatever crazy side projects they do. You have way too much respect for the wall st folks if you think the short term stock price is rational in any meaningful way. Remember the original iPhone announcement that blowed everyone away? AAPL went down after that.
- Sven7 13y agoApple|MS|Samsung|Intel and who ever else is sitting on tons of cash need to use Google's tactics of free everything(os,browser,video,docs,mail etc) against Google if they ever want to seriously compete with them. The ideal open neutralizer of Google would be an Open Search Index with unlimited API access. If that doesn't happen soon Google has all the data and its Game Over. You can see this already with their speech recognizers and image recognizer.
