1. legal concerns - anti-competitive? another MS rehash? so i doubt this will happen.
2. why would apple want to buy so much technology and chassis when their strategy has always been "there can only be one"??

Apart from being competitors, are any of the companies listed a good investment?

It's astounding to me that Apple has roughly $200 in cash for every man, woman and child living in the United States.

Any thoughts?
From the graph he made he is attempting to compare liquid assets to enterprise value, while he obviously assumed both are synomyns of market cap, which is wrong at multiple level.
Say I yet to see Apple could be able to convert anything into 70b cash in 20 days. So how did he calculate 70b liquid assets in Apple?
Or he is wrong about liquid assets from the beginning?...

Haha, I'd love to see them try and fail hard.
Also, the FTC would slap Jobs in the face
