  Well if you work at, say, Kodak, then you need to start thinking differently, or even at all.

  Whereas if you work at Apple, keep up the good work!

  If you want to engage in office politics, work in the public sector.

  If you want to do 6 things at once. None of them well, become a waiter.

  If you want to innovate on new ways to abuse your users trust and gullibility then there is Facebook, or Google.

  If you want a chance to change the way people interact with their world, join Apple.

  Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is going to buy a 30% stake in Apple Inc. ( AAPL ), because PC sales are slowing dramatically and smart phone sales are soaring, in particular the iPhone. Zuckerberg knows he needs Apple's mobile computing platform to reach new clients, who are using smart phones in record numbers to search the Internet. With Facebook's new member accounts slowing dramatically, and with initial public offering in Facebook stock coming soon, sources close to Facebook say he will do the deal with Apple. Buying a 30% stake in Apple will be no problem once Facebook goes public! This may be the only company with enough cash to BUY into AAPL.

  Apple is still a cheap stock! If you back out the 100 billion in cash AAPL still trades at a PE under 8. We all know Ipad3 will be awesome, and iPad 2 KK will be reduced in price crushing Amazons dreams of increasing earnings, and the iMac computers are awesome with no viruses .Also, the iPhone5 is coming out soon and Siri will be improved, so you know that I'll be the bomb! Products of Apple in 50 more countries all over the world so AAPL will definitely make their earnings again this quarter . What is going to make the stock go to 700? Apple will initiate a dividend really soon because of pressure on Tim Cook to do so and they can afford it, so once they announced a 4% dividend, all value mutual funds are going to pile in and the stock is going to soar again .The "shorts" are going to have to cover so buy this stock Monday morning. it will go up $25 a day for four straight days once Apple announces a dividend , so BUY AAPL stock on Monday.

  Apple has enough cash to buy Facebook outright.

  If Zuckerberg sold everything else, then he could afford about 6% of Apple. But then he "only" owns about 25% of Facebook.

  @H3D,

  Apple is guilty of every sin that Google can be classified under. For example, invasion of privacy (imagine a wall-sized world map with a dot representing the location of every 3G iPad).

  Apple is one of the most environmentally- and socially-irresponsible companies in existence, which is part of the reason why its so successful. The parts and processes are dangerous to the environment, and the labor monster known as FoxConn is one of the most unhealthy, inhumane ways of producing product known to man.

  And you are correct when you say that Apple has effectively changed the way people interact with the world, but you didn't specify if they changed it for the better or the worse. If Apple's products can be used commercially for progressive enterprise, then by all means I support the Apple movement. If Apple's products push our children into the corner's of our living room and away from the socially happening existence that we call "The World," then I say get that iPad as far away from me as possible.

  Apple is one of the greatest stocks of all-time, but its impact on the world is anything but "great." The reason most people see things that way you do is because they see the last twenty years of humanity as the world's history. Once you incorporate the entire timeline of history into your daily perspective and start to understand what it really means to be human, you will begin to stray from your narrow point of view that humanity = consumer technology.
