Goldman Sachs has a P/E ratio of 5.94. Microsoft's P/E is heavily "discounted" because it's considered a sort of swan song of easy money (the Windows and Office empire that they've coasted on). Apple's is considered the beginning of things.

When AOL/Time Warner merged, Microsoft was peaking at over $500 billion. They've since continually edged back, but far slower than the collapse of the AOL monstrosity. You'd have to go back pre-90s to even consider the possibility that a ca

This guy got an Evo 4G at the Google I/O -- are we sure he didn't also get a N1? Google did mail out N1s and Droids in advance. If it was an N1 handed out at IO, not really surprising if it got the update early. I'd like to hear reports of
