How do you define a Tech giant?

By Market cap they are #1. Here are top 5.

1. Microsoft $895B 2. Apple $888B 3. Amazon $867B 4. Google $816B 5. Facebook $473B

They have been in top 3 for last 30 years with a robust business model. They missed on Mobile and search but hey it would be hard for any tech company to top in each market.

Settling for #2 in search and cloud isn't exactly a bad consolation prize.
