Apple has had quite an impressive past few years. Even as the overall US economy has slowed, Apple keeps delivering hit after hit (MobileMe notwithstanding). Today’s news is that Apple’s market cap has passed Google’s, the Internet titan that emerged in the late 90s and grabbed up the majority of the search and related Internet ad market. Apple, this year, has also passed IBM (only to get passed back by Big Blue), Citigroup, and HP.
The big target out there off of Apple’s bow is Microsoft, valued currently at over a quarter of a trillion dollars and a 60% premium over Apple’s value. However, with Vista floundering and a blown deal for Yahoo! we’d say it isn’t impossible that Apple could catch its long time rival in the next few years.
Walt Mossberg, who often borders on fanboy in his reviews on Apple’s products, gave a dreaded thumbs down to Apple’s MobileMe service. MobileMe, which has had un-Apple-like hiccups and false starts has put a dent in Apple’s brand veneer. Honestly, we’d like to see Apple get some help from Google in this area….it obviously isn’t Apple’s stong point.

If you are pretty versed in the Apps store, as most readers here are, you might want to skip to about 1/2 way through.

NYTimes (Pogue), WSJ (Mossberg) and USAToday (Baig) all got their mitts on the 3G iPhone. Amazingly, not one of them had anything original to say. Nothing you couldn’t make up by looking at the specs or images of the iPhone and postulate. Just FYI, we’d have had those screws off and been digging around the guts within 30 seconds of recieving the device…but maybe thats why we have to wait like all of you schmucks too.

Baig’s insights:
AllthingsD (which means automatically blessed by Walt) does a review of the Blackberry Bold. It 
pretty much meets expectations…for a Blackberry. Big, beautiful screen, great physical keyboard, fast internet and email access and more bells and whistles all around. But we can’t help but feel the dissapointment in the size and feel of the thing.
‘the Bold reminded me of my grandparents’ new Buick: handsomely polished and luxuriously comfortable, with plenty of extra bells and whistles. As much as I like the plush feel of this ride, it can feel as big as a boat when I need to park or navigate narrow city streets. Likewise, the Bold’s large size affords mobile extravagances like a keyboard I could use without looking down and a leatherette-covered back panel. But when tossed in a bag or even held in my hand, the BlackBerry Bold simply feels too heavy and too big.’
Walt Mossberg, always the big fan of Macs, has one gripe you’ll hear over and over again. There is no entry level, basic Mac. Not even for you Walt, not even on Christmas… Yeah, we aren’t holding our breath…http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/452319854
No real surprises here. Mossberg echos my thoughts on the touchpad and glossy screen. Firewire RIP. Otherwise a winner.

You got to admit it, one person you never want to take on in a Poker game would have to be Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, surely?
Think about it.
This man is one of the most accomplished truth deflectors in the business – we’re not saying he doesn’t tell the truth, he does, he’s pretty much always honest, he’s just good, really, really good at saying truthful things which make listeners think they hear the opposite of what he says
Remember Steve Jobs on enabling video playback for iPods, when he was so often heard to say, “the iPod is for listening to music, it’s not designed for video.”
We all know that Apple innovates technology hardware and software like few other, if any, firms in the world. Together…
Here’s a great new ad campaign that "breaks" Yahoo’s page a la Wii ads from a few weeks ago. Via Adage.

We aren’t taking sides here on any political fronts – our comments system probably couldn’t handle it. Both candidates are amazing stories and we’ll leave it at that OK?
Anyway – Obama’s campaign has jumped on the "out of touch" message toward McCain by saying he "doesn’t use a computer" (see screengrab below). Not even a nice new MacBook Pro? Come on, even a 72 year old war vet can use a MacBook. I call BS!
http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1185304443
To be fair, the Obama campaign team used Brush Script in the Ad which is just as 1982 as not using computers (thanks comment). When McCain has an Apple related ad, we’ll throw it up – promise!
Yeah, we know, nothing new here…but maybe you forgot?
