Oh, no, is the marketing team doing marketing again? Better tell them to take the year off lest they offend someone.

Biggest, most influential tech company ob the planet. I'd say its pretty accurate.

I'd say that apple were a little bit more influential in 2007 over 2006, you know, the whole iPhone thing, and again in 2010. Google certainly aren't afraid to try new ideas, but they don't close to Apple when launching consumer products

Biggest in what way? Number of employees? Sure. Revenue? Samsung has got them beat [1]. Also, influential is very difficult to prove definitively. I find that word to be very subjective. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_informatio...

The iPod (MP3 players revolution - everybody got one) The iPhone (mobile phone/internet always-connected mobile phones became a standard) The iPad (literally created a new industry sector...)

The ipad hasn't had that big of an influence - sure it's a huge industry and it's good fun, but people would have done almost the same things using large phones pretty well.

It's hard to argue Samsung are more influential a company than Apple when the look of Samsung's products are so obviously "influenced" by Apple.

I never said Samsung is more influential than Apple. I also never said Apple isn't influential. I don't know where you got those ideas from. All I said is, according to what I found, Samsung has more revenue than Apple. Also, I think the word "influential" is subjective. That is all.

> Biggest in what way?

Profits.

There was that news story the other day about how cellphones could be used to predict earthquakes...

Just read it as a San Francisco earthquake joke instead.
